On the role of complementation in implicit language equations and relations

作者:

Highlights:

• We solve systems of implicit equations and relations with union and complementation.If the languages are regular, we determine whether the system has solutions.If there is a solution, we provide an effective construction of a regular solution.We give complete representations for maximal and minimal solutions.We determine whether the solution is unique or infinitely many solutions exist.
