Hi everyone.
I have some problems about regular expressions:
1) Is there a canonical form for regular expressions(over a finite alphabet)?
2) In manipulating regular expressions,there exist identities, like R+S = S+R,
where + stands for union operation. I've collected about 20 of such identities,
but I want to increase my list of them.
3) An ambiguous grammar for regular expressions over the alphabet {a, b}is the
following:
R::=RR | R + R | R* | (R) |a|b
The question is: How can I state an unambiguous grammar for regular
expressions?


Every highlight in each of this points will be of great expense.
