Abstract

Eilenberg's variety theorem gives a bijective correspondence between varieties of languages and varieties of finite monoids. The second author gave a similar relation between conjunctive varieties of languages and varieties of semiring homomorphisms. In this paper, we add a third component to this result by considering varieties of meet automata. We consider three significant classes of languages, two of them consisting of reversible languages. We present conditions on meet automata and identities for semiring homomorphisms for their characterization.
