Classes of two-dimensional languages and recognizability conditions

Marcella Anselmo, Maria Madonia (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

The paper deals with some classes of two-dimensional recognizable languages of “high complexity”, in a sense specified in the paper and motivated by some necessary conditions holding for recognizable and unambiguous languages. For such classes we can solve some open questions related to unambiguity, finite ambiguity and complementation. Then we reformulate a necessary condition for recognizability stated by Matz, introducing a new complexity function. We solve an open question proposed...

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. ...

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...

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...
