The chopleft operation of a regular language L is removing the leftmost symbol of every string in L:
chopleft(L) = { w | vw ∈ L, with |v| = 1}.
Prove or disprove that the family of regular languages is closed under the chopleft operation.
Hint: If it’s regular, give an idea of constructing an FA that accepts chopleft(L) using an FA M that accepts L.
Otherwise, give a counterexample.
