Quantum finite automata with control language

Carlo Mereghetti, Beatrice Palano (2006)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Bertoni et al.  introduced in Lect. Notes Comput. Sci.2710 (2003) 1–20 a new model of 1-way quantum finite automaton (1qfa) called 1qfa with control language (1qfc). This model, whose recognizing power is exactly the class of regular languages, generalizes main models of 1qfa's proposed in the literature. Here, we investigate some properties of 1qfc's. In particular, we provide algorithms for constructing 1qfc's accepting the inverse homomorphic images and quotients of languages accepted...

Restricted nondeterministic read-once branching programs and an exponential lower bound for integer multiplication

Beate Bollig (2001)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Branching programs are a well established computation model for Boolean functions, especially read-once branching programs have been studied intensively. In this paper the expressive power of nondeterministic read-once branching programs, more precisely the class of functions representable in polynomial size, is investigated. For that reason two restricted models of nondeterministic read-once branching programs are defined and a lower bound method is presented. Furthermore, the first exponential...

Restricted Nondeterministic Read-Once Branching Programs and an Exponential Lower Bound for Integer Multiplication

Rewriting on cyclic structures: Equivalence between the operational and the categorical description

Andrea Corradini, Fabio Gadducci (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We present a categorical formulation of the rewriting of possibly cyclic term graphs, based on a variation of algebraic 2-theories. We show that this presentation is equivalent to the well-accepted operational definition proposed by Barendregt et al. – but for the case of circular redexes , for which we propose (and justify formally) a different treatment. The categorical framework allows us to model in a concise way also automatic garbage collection and rules for sharing/unsharing and...

Strategies to scan pictures with automata based on Wang tiles

Violetta Lonati, Matteo Pradella (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

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.

Superiority of one-way and realtime quantum machines∗∗∗

Abuzer Yakaryılmaz (2012)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

In automata theory, quantum computation has been widely examined for finite state machines, known as quantum finite automata (QFAs), and less attention has been given to QFAs augmented with counters or stacks. In this paper, we focus on such generalizations of QFAs where the input head operates in one-way or realtime mode, and present some new results regarding their superiority over their classical counterparts. Our first result is about the nondeterministic...

The communication hierarchy of time and space bounded parallel machines

Norbert Popély (2003)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We describe the communicating alternating machines and their simulation. We show that, in the case of communicating alternating machines which are bounded, simultaneously, by polynomial time and logarithmic space, the use of three communication levels instead of two does not increase computational power of communicating alternating machines. This resolves an open problem [2] concerning the exact position of machines with three communication levels in the hierarchy.

The compositional construction of Markov processes II

L. de Francesco Albasini, N. Sabadini, R. F. C. Walters (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We add sequential operations to the categorical algebra of weighted and Markov automata introduced in [L. de Francesco Albasini, N. Sabadini and R.F.C. Walters, 
arXiv:0909.4136]. The extra expressiveness of the algebra permits the description of hierarchical systems, and ones with evolving geometry. We make a comparison with the probabilistic automata of Lynch et al. [SIAM J. Comput. 37 (2007) 977–1013].
