Iteration of rational transductions
Iteration of rational transductions
The purpose of this paper is to show connections between iterated length-preserving rational transductions and linear space computations. Hence, we study the smallest family of transductions containing length-preserving rational transductions and closed under union, composition and iteration. We give several characterizations of this class using restricted classes of length-preserving rational transductions, by showing the connections with "context-sensitive transductions" and transductions associated...
Minimal NFA and biRFSA languages
In this paper, we define the notion of biRFSA which is a residual finate state automaton (RFSA) whose the reverse is also an RFSA. The languages recognized by such automata are called biRFSA languages. We prove that the canonical RFSA of a biRFSA language is a minimal NFA for this language and that each minimal NFA for this language is a sub-automaton of the canonical RFSA. This leads to a characterization of the family of biRFSA languages. In the second part of this paper, we define the family...
