Bidirectional string assembling systems

Martin Kutrib, Matthias Wendlandt (2014)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We introduce and investigate several variants of a bidirectional string assembling system, which is a computational model that generates strings from copies of assembly units. The underlying mechanism is based on two-sided piecewise assembly of a double-stranded sequence of symbols, where the upper and lower strand have to match. The generative capacities and the relative power of the variants are our main interest. In particular, we prove that bidirectional string assembling system...

Unambiguous recognizable two-dimensional languages

Marcella Anselmo, Dora Giammarresi, Maria Madonia, Antonio Restivo (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We consider the family UREC of unambiguous recognizable two-dimensional languages. We prove that there are recognizable languages that are inherently ambiguous, that is UREC family is a proper subclass of REC family. The result is obtained by showing a necessary condition for unambiguous recognizable languages. Further UREC family coincides with the class of picture languages defined by unambiguous 2OTA and it strictly contains its deterministic counterpart. Some closure and non-closure...

On the equivalence of linear conjunctive grammars and trellis automata

Alexander Okhotin (2004)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

This paper establishes computational equivalence of two seemingly unrelated concepts: linear conjunctive grammars and trellis automata. Trellis automata, also studied under the name of one-way real-time cellular automata, have been known since early 1980s as a purely abstract model of parallel computers, while linear conjunctive grammars, introduced a few years ago, are linear context-free grammars extended with an explicit intersection operation. Their equivalence implies the equivalence...

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 $L \cap R$ , 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. ...
