Regular languages are closed under concatenation - this is demonstrable by having the accepting state(s) of one language with an epsilon transition to the start state of the next language. If we consider the language L = {a^n | n >=0}, this language is regular (it is simply a).
Proof: Observe that L \ M = L ∩ M . We already know that regular languages are closed under complement and intersection.
Intersection. Theorem If L1 and L2 are regular languages, then the new language L = L1 ∩ L2 is regular. Proof By De Morgan's law, L = L1 ∩ L2 = L1 ∪ L2. By the previous two theorems this language is regular.
Closure under Union For any regular languages L and M, then L ∪ M is regular. Proof: Since L and M are regular, they have regular expressions, say: Let L = L(E) and M = L(F). Then L ∪ M = L(E + F) by the definition of the + operator.
Regular Languages are closed under intersection, i.e., if L1 and L2 are regular then L1 ∩ L2 is also regular. L1 and L2 are regular • L1 ∪ L2 is regular • Hence, L1 ∩ L2 = L1 ∪ L2 is regular.
Notice that regular languages are not closed under the subset/superset relation. For example, 01 is regular, but its subset {On1n : n >= 0} is not regular, but its subset {01, 0011, 000111} is regular again.
Regular languages have finite state machines, represent simple patterns, are closed under union, intersection, concatenation, and Kleene star operations.
Regular languages are closed under complement, union, intersection, concatenation, Kleene star, reversal, homomorphism, and substitution.
No. The intersection of an infinite set of regular languages is not necessarily even computable. The closure of regular languages under infinite intersection is, in fact, all languages. The language of “all strings except s” is trivially regular.
