Abstract

Letp satisfy 0 ⩽p < 1, then by ℳ(p) we denote the family of Markov DTOL languages with cut pointp. In this paper we present a complete classification of the collection ℳ of such families ℳ(p), 0 ⩽p < 1, showing that ℳ forms an infinite nondense hierarchy with ℳ(0) being its only accumulation point from below. Furthermore it is proved that each language in ℳ(p) can be expressed as a finite union of DDTOL languages.
