Abstract

The Lindenmayerian algebraic systems of Honkala, Kuich [3] are generalized to arbitrary ω-continuous semirings. On the other side, Lindenmayerian algebraic systems for languages with just one symbol are considered. If such a system has a special form then the components of its least solution are rational.
