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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
Abstract. Tree series transformations computed by polynomial topdown and bottom-up tree series transducers are considered. The hierarchy of tree series transformations obtained in ...
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...

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...

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 ...
