three-languages by concatenating either the first two or the last two initially Proof: Since L and M are regular they have regular expressions
The class of regular languages is closed under concatenation. If so we could proof that regular languages are closed under regular operations.
Proof. Observe that L1 ? L2 = L1 ? L2. Since regular languages are closed is a function from strings to strings that “respects” concatenation: for any.
Proof. – Prove that for regular languages L1 and L2 that L1 ? L2 is regular. The class of regular languages is closed under concatenation.
5 févr. 2009 fact that regular languages are closed under union intersection
the concatenation of regular languages is regular. Theorem. (closure under concetanation). • If L and M are regular languages then so is LM. Proof.

29 sept. 2011 Closure under concatenation ... Concatenation of regular languages ... (Proof by induction on the size of the regular expression.).
To prove the result for concatenation we show that a deterministic finite automaton is minimal. We obtain the lower bound on reversal using a counting argument.
The following identities which we state here without (easy) proofs

A closure propertyof regular languages is a property that when applied to a regular language results in another regular language Union and intersection are examples of closure properties We will demonstrate several useful closure properties of regular languages
Regular expressions are an algebraic way to describe languages They describe exactly the regular languages If E is a regular expression then L(E) is the language it defines We’ll describe RE’s and their languages recursively
5 Proof: By construction for union concatenation and Kleene star (i e we show how to generate a new finite automaton) Union: L 1 ? L 2 L 1 L 2 ?
Closure properties of regular languages Recall L ? ?? is regular if L is de?ned by a regular expression (equivalently accepted by a DFA) Theorem The class of regular languages over ? is closed under complement in ?? union intersection concatenation and Kleene star ?
