The n-tape automata studied here, bear a very close rcscmblancc to ordinary finite automata, since all n-tapes move simultaneously. This kind of tape action differs from that of the n-tape automata of [4], where tape motion is individual and is controlled by the state of the automaton. The notion of “n-tape automaton” over an alphabet 2 gives rise to the notion of “n-recognizable” set of n-tuples of words in Z. This latter notion coincides with what is called “FAD relation” in [I]. By means of a certain first-order interpreted theory, the notion that a set of n-tuples of words in Z is “n-definable” is introduced. In contradistinction to the notion “n-recognixahle,” which is defined for fixed n, the notion “12-definable” must be defined simultaneously for all 11. The main result asserts that in the cast that Z is finite and contains more than one lcttcr, these two notions arc extensionally equivalent.
