Abstract

We introduce (weighted) rational expressions to denote series over Cartesian products of monoids. To this endwe propose the operator mid to build multitape expressions such as (a^+∣x + b^+∣y)^*. We define expansions, which generalize the concept of derivative of a rational expression, but relieved from the need of a free monoid. We propose an algorithm based on expansions to build multitape automata from multitape expressions.
