We consider the construction of finite automata from their corresponding regular expressions by a series of digraph-transformations along the expression’s structure. Each interm...
We propose an extension of rewriting techniques to derive inclusion relations a ⊆ b between terms built from monotonic operators. Instead of using only a rewriting relation ⊆ ...
Abstract. We present a method of specifying standard imperative program optimisations as a rewrite system. To achieve this we have extended the idea of matching sub-terms in expres...
Abstract. In this paper, we extend the SHIFT-AND approach by BaezaYates and Gonnet (CACM 35(10), 1992) to the matching problem for network expressions, which are regular expression...
In this paper we define timed regular expressions, a formalism for specifying discrete behaviors augmented with timing information, and prove that its expressive power is equivale...
