Let $M$ be a monoid, the family of rational sets $\operatorname{RAT}(M)$ is defined as the smallest set containing the finite subsets, and closed under union, concatentaion and the star operation. The ...

Generalisation of the statement that a monoid recognizes language iff syntactic monoid divides monoid
Let $A$ be a finite alphabet. For a given language $L \subseteq A^{\ast}$ the syntactic monoid $M(L)$ is a well-known notion in formal language theory. Furthermore, a monoid $M$ recognizes a language $...

On the realisation of monoids as syntactic monoids of languages
Let $L \subseteq X^{\ast}$ be some language, then we define the syntactic congruence as
$$
u \sim v :\Leftrightarrow \forall x, y\in X^{\ast} : xuy \in L \leftrightarrow xvy \in L
$$
and the quotient ...
