A regular language is said to be star-free if it can be described by a regular expression constructed from the letters of the alphabet, the empty set symbol, boolean operators and concatenation but no Kleene star. For instance, the language of words over the alphabet {a,b} that do not have consecutive a's can be defined by <math>(\emptyset^c aa \emptyset^c)^c</math>. Marcel-Paul Schützenberger characterized star-free languages as those with aperiodic syntactic monoids.

  • A regular language is said to be star-free if it can be described by a regular expression constructed from the letters of the alphabet, the empty set symbol, boolean operators and concatenation but no Kleene star. For instance, the language of words over the alphabet {a,b} that do not have consecutive a's can be defined by <math>(\emptyset^c aa \emptyset^c)^c</math>. Marcel-Paul Schützenberger characterized star-free languages as those with aperiodic syntactic monoids. They can also be characterized logically as languages definable in FO[<], the first-order logic over the less-than relation but without the BIT predicate and as languages definable in linear temporal logic.
