Construction of tree automata from regular expressions

Dietrich Kuske, Ingmar Meinecke (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Since recognizable tree languages are closed under the rational operations, every regular tree expression denotes a recognizable tree language. We provide an alternative proof to this fact that results in smaller tree automata. To this aim, we transfer Antimirov's partial derivatives from regular word expressions to regular tree expressions. For an analysis of the size of the resulting automaton as well as for algorithmic improvements, we also transfer the methods of Champarnaud and Ziadi from words...

Construction of Very Hard Functions for Multiparty Communication Complexity

Ján Maňuch (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We consider the multiparty communication model defined in [4] using the formalism from [8]. First, we correct an inaccuracy in the proof of the fundamental result of [6] providing a lower bound on the nondeterministic communication complexity of a function. Then we construct several very hard functions, i.e., functions such that those as well as their complements have the worst possible nondeterministic communication complexity. The problem to find a particular very hard function was...

Continued fractions and transcendental numbers

Boris Adamczewski, Yann Bugeaud, Les Davison (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The main purpose of this work is to present new families of transcendental continued fractions with bounded partial quotients. Our results are derived thanks to combinatorial transcendence criteria recently obtained by the first two authors in [3].

Contribution of František Matúš to the research on conditional independence

Milan Studený (2020)

Kybernetika

An overview is given of results achieved by F. Matúš on probabilistic conditional independence (CI). First, his axiomatic characterizations of stochastic functional dependence and unconditional independence are recalled. Then his elegant proof of discrete probabilistic representability of a matroid based on its linear representability over a finite field is recalled. It is explained that this result was a basis of his methodology for constructing a probabilistic representation of a given abstract...
