L-Valued Multiset Automata and l-Valued Multiset Languages

Abstract

The reason for this work is to present and study deterministic multiset automata, multiset automata and their languages with membership values in complete residuated lattice without zero divisors. We build up the comparability of deterministic [Formula: see text]-valued multiset finite automaton and [Formula: see text]-valued multiset finite automaton in sense of recognizability of a [Formula: see text]-valued multiset language. Then, we relate multiset regular languages to a given [Formula: see text]-valued multiset regular languages and vice versa. At last, we present the concept of pumping lemma for [Formula: see text]-valued multiset automata theory, which we utilize to give a necessary and sufficient condition for a [Formula: see text]-valued multiset language to be non-constant.
