Abstract

In Kuich [4] we generalized the Kleene and the Parikh Theorem to l-complete semirings whose natural limit function is compatible with their partial order. In this paper we generalize in the same manner the following language theoretic result: A language is context-free iff it is accepted by a pushdown automaton.
