Title
On the Continuity Set of an omega Rational Function
Abstract
In this paper, we study the continuity of rational functions realized by Buchi finite state transducers. It has been shown by Prieur that it can be decided whether such a function is continuous. We prove here that surprisingly, it cannot be decided whether such a function f has at least one point of continuity and that its continuity set C(f) cannot be computed. In the case of a synchronous rational function, we show that its continuity set is rational and that it can be computed. Furthermore we prove that any rational Pi(0)(2)-subset of Sigma(omega) for some alphabet Sigma is the continuity set C(f) of an omega-rational synchronous function f defined on Sigma(omega).
