Abstract:
Piecewise testable languages are widely studied area in the theory of automata. We analyze the algebraic properties of these
languages via their syntactic monoids. In this paper a normal form is presented for 2- and 3-piecewise testable languages
and a log-asymptotic estimate is given for the number of words over these monoids.
