  Automata recognize languages, which are sets of words. For the
  theory of $\omega$-automata, we are mostly interested in
  $\omega$-words, but it is sometimes useful to reason about
  finite words, too. We are modeling finite words as lists; this
  lets us benefit from the existing library. Other formalizations
  could be investigated, such as representing words as functions
  whose domains are initial intervals of the natural numbers.

subsection \<open>Type declaration and elementary operations\<close>

text \<open>
  We represent $\omega$-words as functions from the natural numbers
  to the alphabet type. Other possible formalizations include
  a coinductive definition or a uniform encoding of finite and
  infinite words, as studied by M\"uller et al.

  We can prefix a finite word to an $\omega$-word, and a way
  to obtain an $\omega$-word from a finite, non-empty word is by
  $\omega$-iteration.

  The converse relation is not true in general: $f(a)$ can be in the
  limit of $f \circ w$ even though $a$ is not in the limit of $w$.
  However, \<open>limit\<close> commutes with renaming if the function is
  injective. More generally, if $f(a)$ is the image of only finitely
  many elements, some of these must be in the limit of $w$.

subsection \<open>Index sequences and piecewise definitions\<close>

text \<open>
  A word can be defined piecewise: given a sequence of words $w_0, w_1, \ldots$
  and a strictly increasing sequence of integers $i_0, i_1, \ldots$ where $i_0=0$,
  a single word is obtained by concatenating subwords of the $w_n$ as given by
  the integers: the resulting word is
  \[
    (w_0)_{i_0} \ldots (w_0)_{i_1-1} (w_1)_{i_1} \ldots (w_1)_{i_2-1} \ldots
  \]
  We prepare the field by proving some trivial facts about such sequences of
  indexes.
