Closure Properties of Locally Finite Omega Languages

Abstract

Locally finite omega languages were introduced by Ressayre in [Journal of Symbolic Logic, Volume 53, No. 4, p.1009-1026]. They generalize omega languages accepted by finite automata or defined by monadic second order sentences. We study here closure properties of the family LOC_omega of locally finite omega languages. In particular we show that the class LOC_omega is neither closed under intersection nor under complementation, giving an answer to a question of Ressayre.
