On shuffle ideals

Pierre-Cyrille Héam — 2002

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

A shuffle ideal is a language which is a finite union of languages of the form A * a 1 A * A * a k A * where A is a finite alphabet and the a i ’s are letters. We show how to represent shuffle ideals by special automata and how to compute these representations. We also give a temporal logic characterization of shuffle ideals and we study its expressive power over infinite words. We characterize the complexity of deciding whether a language is a shuffle ideal and we give a new quadratic algorithm for this problem. Finally...

A Lower Bound For Reversible Automata

Pierre-Cyrille Héam — 2010

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

A reversible automaton is a finite automaton in which each letter induces a partial one-to-one map from the set of states into itself. We solve the following problem proposed by Pin. Given an alphabet , does there exist a sequence of languages on which can be accepted by a reversible automaton, and such that the number of states of the minimal automaton of is in (), while the minimal number of states of a reversible automaton accepting ...

Efficiency of automata in semi-commutation verification techniques

Gérard CécéPierre-Cyrille HéamYann Mainier — 2008

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Computing the image of a regular language by the transitive closure of a relation is a central question in regular model checking. In a recent paper Bouajjani et al. [IEEE Comput. Soc. (2001) 399–408] proved that the class of regular languages L – called APC – of the form j L 0 , j L 1 , j L 2 , j ... L k j , j , where the union is finite and each L i , j is either a single symbol or a language of the form B * with B a subset of the alphabet, is closed under...

Efficiency of automata in semi-commutation verification techniques

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Computing the image of a regular language by the transitive closure of a relation is a central question in regular model checking. In a recent paper Bouajjani [ (2001) 399–408] proved that the class of regular languages – called APC – of the form U ..., where the union is finite and each is either a single symbol or a language of the form with a subset of the alphabet, is closed under all semi-commutation relations . Moreover a recursive...
