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,...

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. ...

Polynomial languages with finite antidictionaries

Arseny M. Shur (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We tackle the problem of studying which kind of functions can occur as complexity functions of formal languages of a certain type. We prove that an important narrow subclass of rational languages contains languages of polynomial complexity of any integer degree over any non-trivial alphabet.

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...
