A cyclic unary regular language is a regular language over a unary alphabet that is represented by a cyclic automaton. We propose a similarity measure for cyclic unary regular languages by modifying the Jaccard similarity coefficient and the Sørensen coefficient to measure the level of overlap between such languages. This measure computes the proportion of strings that are shared by two or more cyclic unary regular languages and is an upper bound of the Jaccard coefficient and the Sørensen coefficient. By using such similarity measure, we define a dissimilarity measure for cyclic unary regular languages that is a semimetric distance. Moreover, it can be used for the non-cyclic case. |
