Theorem

fundm2domnop0 11302

A function with a domain containing (at least) two different elements is not an ordered pair.

(Revised by AV, 7-Jun-2021.) (Proof shortened by AV, 15-Nov-2021.)

4.7  Words over a set

This section is about words (or strings) over a set (alphabet) defined as finite sequences of symbols (or characters) being elements of the alphabet. Although it is often required that the underlying set/alphabet be nonempty, finite and not a proper class, these restrictions are not made in the current definition df-word 11307. Note that the empty word ∅ (i.e., the empty set) is the only word over an empty alphabet, see 0wrd0 11332. The set Word 𝑆 of words over 𝑆 is the free monoid over 𝑆, where the monoid law is concatenation and the monoid unit is the empty word. Besides the definition of words themselves, several operations on words are defined in this section:

Name	Reference	Explanation	Example	Remarks
Length (or size) of a word	df-ihash 11217: (♯‘𝑊)	Operation which determines the number of the symbols within the word.	𝑊:(0..^𝑁)⟶𝑆 → (𝑊 ∈ Word 𝑆 ∧ (♯‘𝑊) = 𝑁	This is not a special definition for words, but for arbitrary sets.
First symbol of a word	df-fv 5385: (𝑊‘0)	Operation which extracts the first symbol of a word. The result is the symbol at the first place in the sequence representing the word.	𝑊:(0..^1)⟶𝑆 → (𝑊 ∈ Word 𝑆 ∧ (𝑊‘0) ∈ 𝑆	This is not a special definition for words, but for arbitrary functions with a half-open range of nonnegative integers as domain.
Last symbol of a word	df-lsw 11352: (lastS‘𝑊)	Operation which extracts the last symbol of a word. The result is the symbol at the last place in the sequence representing the word.	𝑊:(0..^3)⟶𝑆 → (𝑊 ∈ Word 𝑆 ∧ (lastS‘𝑊) = (𝑊‘2)	Note that the index of the last symbol is less by 1 than the length of the word.
Subword (or substring) of a word	df-substr 11420: (𝑊 substr ⟨𝐼, 𝐽⟩)	Operation which extracts a portion of a word. The result is a consecutive, reindexed part of the sequence representing the word.	𝑊:(0..^3)⟶𝑆 → (𝑊 ∈ Word 𝑆 ∧ (𝑊 substr ⟨1, 2⟩) ∈ Word 𝑆 ∧ (♯‘(𝑊 substr ⟨1, 2⟩)) = 1	Note that the last index of the range defining the subword is greater by 1 than the index of the last symbol of the subword in the sequence of the original word.
Concatenation of two words	df-concat 11361: (𝑊 ++ 𝑈)	Operation combining two words to one new word. The result is a combined, reindexed sequence build from the sequences representing the two words.	(𝑊 ∈ Word 𝑆 ∧ 𝑈 ∈ Word 𝑆) → (♯‘(𝑊 ++ 𝑈)) = ((♯‘𝑊) + (♯‘𝑈))	Note that the index of the first symbol of the second concatenated word is the length of the first word in the concatenation.
Singleton word	df-s1 11386: ⟨“𝑆”⟩	Constructor building a word of length 1 from a symbol.	(♯‘⟨“𝑆”⟩) = 1

Conventions:

• Words are usually represented by class variable 𝑊, or if two words are involved, by 𝑊 and 𝑈 or by 𝐴 and 𝐵.
• The alphabets are usually represented by class variable 𝑉 (because any arbitrary set can be an alphabet), sometimes also by 𝑆 (especially as codomain of the function representing a word, because the alphabet is the set of symbols).
• The symbols are usually represented by class variables 𝑆 or 𝐴, or if two symbols are involved, by 𝑆 and 𝑇 or by 𝐴 and 𝐵.
• The indices of the sequence representing a word are usually represented by class variable 𝐼, if two indices are involved (especially for subwords) by 𝐼 and 𝐽, or by 𝑀 and 𝑁.
• The length of a word is usually represented by class variables 𝑁 or 𝐿.
• The number of positions by which to cyclically shift a word is usually represented by class variables 𝑁 or 𝐿.

class Word 𝑆

Definition

df-word 11307*

Define the class of words over a set. A word (sometimes also called a string) is a finite sequence of symbols from a set (alphabet) 𝑆. Definition in Section 9.1 of [AhoHopUll] p. 318. The domain is forced to be an initial segment of ℕ₀ so that two words with the same symbols in the same order be equal. The set Word 𝑆 is sometimes denoted by S*, using the Kleene star, although the Kleene star, or Kleene closure, is sometimes reserved to denote an operation on languages. The set Word 𝑆 equipped with concatenation is the free monoid over 𝑆, and the monoid unit is the empty word. (Contributed by FL, 14-Jan-2014.) (Revised by Stefan O'Rear, 14-Aug-2015.)

Definition

df-lsw 11352

Extract the last symbol of a word. May be not meaningful for other sets which are not words.

Labels of theorems about last symbols of a word will contain the abbreviation "lsw" (Last Symbol of a Word). (Contributed by Alexander van der Vekens, 18-Mar-2018.)

Definition

df-s1 11386

Define the canonical injection from symbols to words. Although not required, 𝐴 should usually be a set. Otherwise, the singleton word ⟨“𝐴”⟩ would be the singleton word consisting of the empty set, see s1prc 11393, and not, as maybe expected, the empty word. (Contributed by Stefan O'Rear, 15-Aug-2015.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 26-Feb-2016.)
