• Is the Kleene star regular?

  If A is a regular language, A* (Kleene star) is a regular language. Due to this, the empty string language {?} is also regular. If A and B are regular languages, then A ? B (union) and A • B (concatenation) are regular languages. No other languages over ? are regular.

• Is the Kleene star distributed?

  Kleene star does not distribute. (ab)* is very different from (a*b*) . In your specific example, (aa)* would match groups of two a s (thus, it only matches even numbers of a s), while (a*a*) is equivalent to (a*) and matches any sequence of a s.

• Are all finite languages regular?

  Every finite language is regular by Corollary 4.7, and if L = L₁ ? L₂ or L = L₁ · L₂ or L = L 1 * , where L₁ and L₂ are regular, then L is regular by Theorems 4.2, 5.1, and 5.2, respectively.
• In theoretical computer science, in particular in formal language theory, Kleene's algorithm transforms a given nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) into a regular expression. Together with other conversion algorithms, it establishes the equivalence of several description formats for regular languages.
