Good Morning: I have a question about "standard terminology" or "standard methodology". Is there a standard technique to generate the closure of a set through generating the next element from the current? The motivating idea is a simple one: generate a free language from the list of characters. This is a standard inductive process seen in lots of automata and formal language books. Seems like there is product followed by a co-product sort of action. best regards, steve -------- D. E.
