We show that for every deterministic bottom-up tree transducer, a unique equivalent transducer can be constructed which is minimal. The construction is based on a sequence of norma...
We examine the succinctness of one-way, rotating, sweeping, and two-way deterministic finite automata (1dfas, rdfas, sdfas, 2dfas). Here, a sdfa is a 2dfa whose head can change di...
We concider an extened algebra of regular events (languages) with intersection besides the usual operations. This algebra has the structure of a distributive lattice with monotoni...
In recent years generalized acceptance criteria for different nondeterministic computation models have been examined. Instead of the common definition where an input word is said...
Past proposals for applying to pictures or 2D languages the generative grammar approach do not match in our opinion the elegance and descriptive adequacy that made Context Free gr...
A new generalization of context-free grammars is introduced: Boolean grammars allow the use of all set-theoretic operations as an integral part of the formalism of rules. Rigorous...
We continue our investigation on the relationship between regular languages and syntactic monoid size. In this paper we confirm the conjecture on two generator transformation semi...
