Abstract. We investigate the structure of the set of gapped motifs (repeated patterns with don’t cares) of a given string of symbols. A natural equivalence classification is int...
Abstract. We define the notion of height-deterministic pushdown automata, a model where for any given input string the stack heights during any (nondeterministic) computation on t...
Following recent works connecting two-variable logic to circuits and monoids, we establish, for numerical predicate sets P satisfying a certain closure property, a one-to-one corre...
In formal language theory, many families of languages are defined using grammars or finite acceptors like pushdown automata and Turing machines. For instance, context-sensitive l...
A framework for analyzing the computational capabilities and the limitations of the evolutionary process of random change guided by selection was recently introduced by Valiant [V...
