Abstract

Suppose that T is a grove theory, and M is a Conway or iteration matrix theory which is a subtheory of T. We provide a sufficient condition under which the dagger operation on M can be extended to T so that T becomes a Conway or iteration theory. Moreover, we prove a general Kleene type theorem applicable to all grove theories which are Conway theories. We discuss applications to synchronization trees and formal tree series.
