The Myhill每Nerode Theorem can be generalized to an algebraic setting giving rise to a collection of bialgebras which we call Myhill每Nerode bialgebras. In this paper we investigate the quasitriangular structure of Myhill每Nerode bialgebras. %K algebra %K coalgebra %K bialgebra %K Myhill每Nerode theorem %K Myhill每Nerode bialgebra %K quasitriangular structure %U http://www.mdpi.com/2075-1680/1/2/155
