Abstract

A semi-commutation θ′ is \(\mathcal{R}\mathcal{E}\mathcal{G}\)-compatible with a semi-commutation θ iff the θ′-closure of any regular θ-closed language remains regular. The paper presents a decidable criterion, characterizing couples of \(\mathcal{R}\mathcal{E}\mathcal{G}\)-compatible semi-commutations. The complexity of the problem is shown to be co-NP-complete.
