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. ...

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...

Consensual languages and matching finite-state computations

Stefano Crespi Reghizzi, Pierluigi San Pietro (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and 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...

Minimal NFA and biRFSA languages

Michel Latteux, Yves Roos, Alain Terlutte (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et 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...
