Recall that string x is a prefix of string y if a string z exists where , and that x is a proper prefix of y if in addition . In each of the following parts, we define an operation on a language A. Show that the class of regular languages is closed under that operation.
Let be a DFA and let be a state of Mcalled its 鈥渉ome鈥. A synchronizing sequence for M and h is a string s鈭埼b垪where (Here we have extended to strings, so that equals the state where M ends up when M starts at state q and reads input s .) Say that M is synchronizable if it has a synchronizing sequence for some state h . Prove that if M is a state synchronizable DFA, then it has a synchronizing sequence of length at most . Can you improve upon this bound?
