Noncanonical LALR(1) Parsing
This paper addresses the longstanding problem of the recognition limitations of classical LALR(1) parser generators by proposing the usage of noncanonical parsers. To this end, we...

On Weakly Ambiguous Finite Transducers
By weakly ambiguous (finite) transducers we mean those transducers that, although being ambiguous, may be viewed to be at arm's length from unambiguity. We define input-unambi...

Polynomials, Fragments of Temporal Logic and the Variety DA over Traces
Abstract. We show that some language theoretic and logical characterizations of recognizable word languages whose syntactic monoid is in the variety DA also hold over traces. To th...

On Critical Exponents in Fixed Points of Non-erasing Morphisms
Let be an alphabet of size t, let f : be a non-erasing morphism, let w be an infinite fixed point of f, and let E(w) be the critical exponent of w. We prove that if E(w) is fi...

Well-Founded Semantics for Boolean Grammars
Abstract. Boolean grammars [A. Okhotin, Information and Computation 194 (2004) 19-48] are a promising extension of context-free grammars that supports conjunction and negation. In ...

Closure of Language Classes Under Bounded Duplication
Duplication is an operation generating a language from a single word by iterated application of rewriting rules u uu on factors. We extend this operation to entire languages and i...

Prime Decompositions of Regular Languages
We investigate factorizations of regular languages in terms of prime languages. A language is said to be strongly prime decomposable if any way of factorizing the language yields a...

Finding Lower Bounds for Nondeterministic State Complexity Is Hard
We investigate the following lower bound methods for regular languages: The fooling set technique, the extended fooling set technique, and the biclique edge cover technique. It is ...
