Abstract
A language L is called slender if there exists a constant k such that L contains no k words of equal length. In this paper we continue the study of relationships between slender languages and bounded languages. We show that if a 0L language L over a two-letter alphabet is slender then L is a D0L language or L is a bounded language. As an application we prove the decidability of the slenderness problem in many cases.
