Let A be a finite non-empty alphabet and x ∈ AN or AZ. For w ∈ L(x), the extensions of w are the following sets, L(w) = {a ∈ A | aw ∈ L(x)} R(w) = {a ∈ A | wa ∈ L(x)} B(w) = {(a, b) ∈ A × A | awb ∈ L(x)}. The extension graph Ex(w) of w is the undirected bipartite graph whose set of vertices is the disjoint union of L(w) and R(w) and whose edges are the pairs (a, b) ∈ B(w).

Extension graph

Lemma (⋆) Let T be a finite tree, with a bipartition X and Y of its set of vertices, with |X|, |Y | ≥ 2. Let E be its set of edges. For all x ∈ X, y ∈ Y , define Yx := {y ∈ Y : (x, y) ∈ E} Xy := {x ∈ X : (x, y) ∈ E}. Let (G, +) be an abelian group and H a subgroup of G. Suppose that there exists a function g : X ∪ Y ∪ E → G satisfying the following conditions: (1) g(X ∪ Y ) ⊆ H; (2) for all x ∈ X, g(x) =

y∈Yx g(x, y), and for all y ∈ Y ,

g(y) =

x∈Xy g(x, y).

Then, for all (x, y) ∈ E, g(x, y) ∈ H.
