Rational bijection of rational sets

Acta Informatica, 1980
In this paper we initiate the study of rational bijections, that is of rational transductions which are bijections of a rational (=regular) set R onto a rational set S. We present a complete and easily decidable characterization of the existence of a rational bijection between two given rational sets.

Ellis, for example, has been inculcating in clients a logically—and empirically—unverifiable hedonistic doctrine and a ...

Rational care is not rationing

Community Oncology, 2009
