Abstract
This short note reviews the main contributions of the Ph.D. thesis of Imre Simon. His graduate work had major impact on algebraic theory of automata and thirty years later we are in a good position to appreciate how sensitive he was in selecting good problems, and how clever in solving them!


Mathematics Subject Classification. 68Q70

Key words: Algebraic theory of automata -- piece-wise testable languages -- dot-depth hierarchy.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
