Consensual languages and matching finite-state computations

Stefano Crespi Reghizzi, Pierluigi San Pietro (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

An ever present, common sense idea in language modelling research is that, for a word to be a valid phrase, it should comply with multiple constraints at once. A new language definition model is studied, based on agreement or consensus between similar strings. Considering a regular set of strings over a bipartite alphabet made by pairs of unmarked/marked symbols, a match relation is introduced, in order to specify when such strings agree. Then a regular set over the bipartite alphabet...

Extending regular expressions with homomorphic replacement

Henning Bordihn, Jürgen Dassow, Markus Holzer (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We define H- and EH-expressions as extensions of regular expressions by adding homomorphic and iterated homomorphic replacement as new operations, resp. The definition is analogous to the extension given by Gruska in order to characterize context-free languages. We compare the families of languages obtained by these extensions with the families of regular, linear context-free, context-free, and EDT0L languages. Moreover, relations to language families based on patterns, multi-patterns,...

Hierarchies and reducibilities on regular languages related to modulo counting

Victor L. Selivanov (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We discuss some known and introduce some new hierarchies and reducibilities on regular languages, with the emphasis on the quantifier-alternation and difference hierarchies of the quasi-aperiodic languages. The non-collapse of these hierarchies and decidability of some levels are established. Complete sets in the levels of the hierarchies under the polylogtime and some quantifier-free reducibilities are found. Some facts about the corresponding degree structures are established. As an...

Comparing Complexity Functions of a Language and Its Extendable Part

Arseny M. Shur (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Right (left, two-sided) extendable part of a language consists of all words having infinitely many right (resp. left, two-sided) extensions within the language. We prove that for an arbitrary factorial language each of these parts has the same growth rate of complexity as the language itself. On the other hand, we exhibit a factorial language which grows superpolynomially, while its two-sided extendable part grows only linearly.

On the expressive power of the shuffle operator matched with intersection by regular sets

Joanna Jȩdrzejowicz, Andrzej Szepietowski (2001)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We investigate the complexity of languages described by some expressions containing shuffle operator and intersection. We show that deciding whether the shuffle of two words has a nonempty intersection with a regular set (or fulfills some regular pattern) is NL-complete. Furthermore we show that the class of languages of the form L ∩ R , with a shuffle language L and a regular language R , contains non-semilinear languages and does not form a family of mildly context- sensitive languages. ...
