Abstract. We study the succinctness of the complement and intersection of regular expressions. In particular, we show that when constructing a regular expression defining the compl...
Abstract. We improve on some recent results on lower bounds for conversion problems for regular expressions. In particular we consider the conversion of planar deterministic finite...
Syntactic constraints in Koskenniemi’s Finite-State Intersection Grammar (FSIG) are logically less complex than their formalism (Koskenniemi et al., 1992) would suggest: It turn...
We are concerned with the availability of systems, defined as the ratio between time of correct functioning and uptime. We propose to model guaranteed availability in terms of regu...
Automated reasoning about systems with infinite domains requires an extension of regular automata to infinite alphabets. Existing formalisms of such automata cope with the infinite...
