We show that the downward-closure of a Petri net language is effectively computable. This is mainly done by using the notions defined for showing decidability of the reachability...
The minimal deterministic finite automaton is generally used to determine regular languages equality. Using Brzozowski's notion of derivative, Antimirov and Mosses proposed a...
Weighted automata are nondeterministic automata with numerical weights on transitions. They can define quantitative languages L that assign to each word w a real number L(w). In ...

In this paper we investigate P systems whose compartments contain sets of symbolobjects rather than multisets of objects, as it is common in membrane computing. If the number of m...
Higman essentially showed that if A is any language then SUBSEQ(A) is regular, where SUBSEQ(A) is the language of all subsequences of strings in A. Let s1, s2, s3, . . . be the sta...
