This problem concerns languages over the alphabet Σ = {1}. For any two integers q,r ≥0, define the language Lr,q over Σ as  Lr,q ={1mq+r : m ≥0}={1q,1q+r,12q+r,...}.  For instance, L1,3 ={1,1111,1111111,...}.  Show that for every q and r, the language Lr,q is regular. Show that if L is a regular language over Σ, then L can be written as L = Lr1,q ∪ Lr2,q ∪··∪ Lrk,q ∪ L0,  where 0 ≤ r1 < ··· < rk are integers and L0 is a finite set.

Question

This problem concerns languages over the alphabet Σ = {1}. For any two integers q,r

≥0, define the language Lr,q over Σ as 

Lr,q ={1mq+r : m ≥0}={1q,1q+r,12q+r,...}. 

For instance, L1,3 ={1,1111,1111111,...}. 

  • Show that for every q and r, the language Lr,q is regular.
  • Show that if L is a regular language over Σ, then L can be written as L = Lr1,q ∪ Lr2,q ∪··∪ Lrk,q ∪ L0,  where 0 ≤ r1 < ··· < rk are integers and L0 is a finite set.
