Abstract

This paper presents a generalization of Eilenberg and Schützenberger's Theorem on length-preserving relations to rational relations with the property that the difference of lengths of two related words is bounded, and to rational relations of infinite words that are realized by 2-tape automata such that the distance between the two heads during any computation keeps bounded.
