Abstract: | If the state set and the input set of an automaton are Ω-groups then near-rings are useful in the study of automata (see 5]). These near-rings, called syntactic near-rings, consist of mappings from the state set Q of the automaton into itself. If, as is often the case, Q bears the structure of a module, then the zerosymmetric part N0(A) of syntactic near-rings is a commutative ring with identity. If N0(A) is a syntactic ring then its ideals are useful for determining reachability in automata (see 1] or 2]). In this paper we investigate syntactic rings. |
