Abstract

We solve the commutation equation AB = BA for binary factorial languages A and B. As we show, the situations when such languages commute can be naturally classified. The result is based on the existence and uniqueness of a canonical decomposition of a factorial language, proved by S. V. Avgustinovich and the author in 2005. It continues investigation of the semigroup of factorial languages.
