Strategies to scan pictures with automata based on Wang tiles

Violetta Lonati, Matteo Pradella (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

Wang automata are devices for picture language recognition recently introduced by us, which characterize the class REC of recognizable picture languages. Thus, Wang automata are equivalent to tiling systems or online tessellation acceptors, and are based like Wang systems on labeled Wang tiles. The present work focus on scanning strategies, to prove that the ones Wang automata are based on are those following four kinds of movements: boustrophedonic, “L-like”, “U-like”, and spirals. ...

Similarity relations and cover automata

Jean-Marc Champarnaud, Franck Guingne, Georges Hansel (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Cover automata for finite languages have been much studied a few years ago. It turns out that a simple mathematical structure, namely similarity relations over a finite set of words, is underlying these studies. In the present work, we investigate in detail for themselves the properties of these relations beyond the scope of finite languages. New results with straightforward proofs are obtained in this generalized framework, and previous results concerning cover automata are obtained...

CD-systems of stateless deterministic R(1)-automata governed by an external pushdown store

Benedek Nagy, Friedrich Otto (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We study cooperating distributed systems (CD-systems) of stateless deterministic restarting automata with window size 1 that are equipped with an external pushdown store. In this way we obtain an automata-theoretical characterization for the class of word languages that are linearizations of context-free trace languages.

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...
