Q44 / 100

What does the Myhill-Nerode theorem characterize?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is B) Both the minimality of a DFA and the regularity of a language via equivalence classes of the right-congruence relation

B

Correct Answer

Both the minimality of a DFA and the regularity of a language via equivalence classes of the right-congruence relation

Explanation

Myhill-Nerode: a language is regular iff it has finitely many right-congruence classes (≡_L). The number of classes equals the number of states in the minimal DFA.
