Proof (not effective!)<br />

If L is a regular language and S is an arbitrary set then L/S is regular<br />

Let M = (Q,Σ,δ,q0,F) be a DFA for L<br />

There is a DFA M’= (Q,Σ,δ,q0,F’) that accepts L/S<br />

M’ behaves just like M, but F’ consists of just<br />

those states for which ∃y∊S such that δ(q,y)∊F<br />

I don’t (and cannot in general) know what F’ is<br />

but I know it exists!<br />
