Myhill equivalence

Computer
  • An equivalence relation arising in formal language theory. If L is a language over alphabet Σ‎ (see word) then its Myhill equivalence is the relation =M on Σ‎* defined as follows:

    u=Mu
    if, for all w1,w2 in Σ‎*,
    w1uw2Liffw1uw2L
    Similarly (and more generally), if f is a function from Σ‎* to any set, its Myhill equivalence is defined by:
    u=Mu
    if, for all w1,w2 in Σ‎*,
    f(w1uw2)=f(w1uw2)
    See also Nerode equivalence.

    An important fact is that L is regular iff the equivalence relation =M is of finite index (i.e. there are finitely many equivalence classes). Indeed, L is regular iff it is a union of classes of any equivalence relation of finite index. In addition =M is a congruence on Σ‎*, i.e.

    u=Muandv=Mvimpliesuv=Muv
    The equivalence classes therefore can be concatenated consistently and form a semigroup. This is in fact the semigroup of the minimal machine for L (or f).
