Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a class of generalized regular languages, namely š¯’«š¯’®-regular languages, and give some characterizations of such generalized regular languages. As applications of the results, we obtain some characterizations of regular languages. Also, we consider the closure properties of the class of š¯’«š¯’®-regular languages, and the relationship among š¯’«š¯’®-regular languages, context-free languages and context-sensitive languages.
