Closure Properties
Recursive languages are closed under the following operations. That is, if L and P are two recursive languages, then the following languages are recursive as well:
- The Kleene star
- The image φ(L) under an e-free homomorphism φ
- The concatenation
- The union
- The intersection
- The complement of
- The set difference
The last property follows from the fact that the set difference can be expressed in terms of intersection and complement.

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
