Minimal NFA and biRFSA Languages

Michel Latteux, Yves Roos, Alain Terlutte (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

In this paper, we define the notion of biRFSA which is a residual finate state automaton (RFSA) whose the reverse is also an RFSA. The languages recognized by such automata are called biRFSA languages. We prove that the canonical RFSA of a biRFSA language is a minimal NFA for this language and that each minimal NFA for this language is a sub-automaton of the canonical RFSA. This leads to a characterization of the family of biRFSA languages. In the second part of this paper, we define...

Strategies to scan pictures with automata based on Wang tiles

Violetta Lonati, Matteo Pradella (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and 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. ...

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...
