Title
Isomorphism, form equivalence and sequence equivalence of PD0L forms
Abstract
It is shown that if two PD0L forms F 1 and F 2 are form equivalent, i.e., generate the same family of languages, then the PD0L sequences E ( F 1 ) and E ( F 2 ) are isomorphic, provided one of the sequences contains a word of length greater than one. This result leads to a simple algorithm of deciding the form equivalence of two PD0L forms F 1 and F 2 . Moreover, we obtain the rather surprising result that F 1 and F 2 are form equivalent if and only if they are sequence equivalent, i.e., generate the same family of PD0L sequences (excluding again the trivial case that F 1 and F 2 generate only words of length one).
