A multi-head 1-way pushdown automaton with heads is a pushdown automaton with 1-way read heads on the input tape and a stack. It was previously shown that the deterministic variant of the model cannot accept all the context free languages. In this paper, we introduce a 2-tape, 2-head model namely Watson-Crick pushdown automata where the content of the second tape is determined using a complementarity relation, similar to Watson-Crick automata. We show computational powers of nondeterministic...
We define by simple conditions two wide subclasses of the so-called Arnoux-Rauzy systems; the elements of the first one share the property of (measure-theoretic) weak mixing, thus we generalize and improve a counter-example to the conjecture that these systems are codings of rotations; those of the second one have eigenvalues, which was known hitherto only for a very small set of examples.
We demonstrate searching of mathematical expressions in technical digital libraries on a MREC collection of 439,423 real scientific documents with more than 158 million mathematical formulae. Our solution—the WebMIaS system—allows the retrieval of mathematical expressions written in TeX or MathML. TeX queries are converted on-the-fly into tree representations of Presentation MathML, which is used for indexing. WebMIaS allows complex queries composed of plain text and mathematical formulae, using...
Description of individuals in ill-structured domains produces messy data matrices. In this context, automated classification requires the management of those kind of matrices. One of the features involved in clustering is the evaluation of distances between individuals. Then, a special function to calculate distances between individuals partially simultaneously described by qualitative and quantitative variables is required.In this paper properties and details of the metrics used by Klass in this...
We exhibit a new class of grammars with the help of weightfunctions. They are characterized by decreasing the weight during the derivation process. A decision algorithm for the emptiness problem is developed. This class contains non-contextfree grammars. The corresponding language class is identical to the class of ultralinear languages.
In this paper, the questions of what machines cannot do and what they can do will be treated by examining the ideas and results of eminent mathematicians. Regarding the question of what machines cannot do, we will rely on the results obtained by the mathematicians Alan Turing and Kurt G¨odel. Turing machines, their purpose of defining an exact definition of computation and the relevance of Church-Turing thesis in the theory of computability will be treated in detail. The undecidability of the “Entscheidungsproblem”...
