Was there an attempt to make reusable regular expressions?
In everyday practice I often encounter tasks which would benefit from being able to define aliases for chunks of regular expressions to reuse them later. Typical examples include: parsing a floating p …

Language of rationals is regular, what is the number set equivalent to PDA?
Consider rational numbers given as their decimal expansions, then for every number we can build a finite automaton able to accept it. To simplify the argument, assume that finite rational expansions …

Algorithm to find a minimal regular language containing given context-free language
I am not sure that the problem is in general solvable, but here's an example of what I mean:
Any context-free language has a trivial regular language that contains it: $\Sigma^*$.
The language $L_1=\ …

Star-free decomposition of regular language given by regular expression
I was wondering: is there an algorithm to decompose any regular expression, provided it doesn't use complementation, into one or more regular expressions which don't use Kleene star (only catenation a …

Arden's rule expressed as matrix algebra
The following theorem is (in the context of languages) known as
Arden's Lemma: Given a linear system $X = B+AX$ and the matrix A is
quasiregular, then we have a solution which is unique and whi …

What can be said in general about a homomorphism between two regular languages?
In other words: is a homomorphism always guaranteed to exist between two arbitrary regular languages? If not (which I suspect), are there only a finite number of classes of languages, for which we can …

Given regular expression construct regex for the complement language
Disclamer: this is my uni assignment, which is rated comparatively low, thus I assume that the answer should be simple. Hints are appreciated (as opposed to direct answers).
Write an algorithm wh …
