Titre / Title: The set of minimal words of a context-free language is context-free
Abstract : Let A be a finite, totally ordered alphabet, and let ¾ be the lexicographical ordering on A*. Let X be a subset of A*. The language of minimal words of X is the subset of X composed of the lexicographically minimal word of X for each length:
Min(X) = {x OE X Ù w OE X, |w| = |x| Þ x ¾w}
The aim of this paper is to prove that if L is a context-free language, then the language Min(L) is context-free.
