Representations of nite languages as a product (catenation) of languages are investigated, where the factor languages are \prime", that is, cannot be decomposed further in a nontrivial manner. In general, such prime decom-positions are not unique-even the number of factors can vary exponentially. The paper investigates the uniqueness of prime decompositions, as well as the commuting of the factors. Interconnections to languages more general than nite are pointed out. In the case of regular… CONTINUE READING
