Classes of languages generated by the Kleene star of a word

Daviaud, L. & Paperman, C. (2018). Classes of languages generated by the Kleene star of a word. Information and Computation, 262, pp. 90-109. doi: 10.1016/j.ic.2018.07.002

Abstract

In this paper, we study the lattice and the Boolean algebra, possibly closed under quotient, generated by the languages of the form u⁎, where u is a word. We provide effective equational characterisations of these classes, i.e. one can decide using our descriptions whether a given regular language belongs or not to each of them.
