We consider a restricted variant of the hairpin completion called bounded hairpin completion. The hairpin completion is a formal operation inspired from biochemistry. Applied to a ...
Introducing priorities on rules in rewriting increases their expressive power and helps to limit computations. Priority rewriting is used in rule-based programming as well as in f...
Abstract. In this paper we prove the following result. Let s be an infinite word on a finite alphabet, and N ≥ 0 be an integer. Suppose that all left special factors of s longe...
This paper proposes an alternative approach to the standard notion of rational (or regular) expression for tree languages. The main difference is that in the new notion we have on...
We propose an algorithm that given as input a full word w of length n, and positive integers p and d, outputs (if any exists) a maximal p-periodic partial word contained in w with ...

We present conditions which guarantee that a composition of marker cellular automata has the same neighbourhood as each of the individual components. We show that, under certain te...
