The standard enumeration of $\lbrace 0,1\rbrace ^{*}$ is the sequence of strings $s_0 =\lambda$, $s_1 = 0$, $s_2 = 1$, $s_3 = 00$, $s_4 = 01$, $\cdots$ in lexicographic order.
The characteristic function of a language $A$ is $\chi_{A}:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \lbrace 0, 1\rbrace$ such that
\[\chi_{A}(n)=\begin{cases}
1,\text{ if }s_n \in A\\
0,\text{ if }s_n \notin A.
\end{cases}\]
The characteristic sequence of a language $A$ (also denoted as $\chi_A$) is the concatenation of the values of the characteristic function in the natural order. |
