Dyck Language

The simplest algebraic language, denoted D. If X is the alphabet {x,x^_}, then D is the set of words u of X which satisfy

1. |u|_x=|u|_(x^_), where |u|_x is the numbers of letters x in the word u, and

2. if u is factored as vw, where v and w are words of X^*, then |v|_x>=|v|_(x^_).
