Safety- and liveness-properties in propositional temporal logic: characterizations and decidability
After a translation of an input string, , to an output string, , a self- reproducing pushdown transducer can make a self-reproducing step during which it moves to its input tape and translates it again. In this self- reproducing way, it can repeat the translation -times for any . This paper demonstrates that every recursively enumerable language can be characterized by the domain of the translation obtained from a self- reproducing pushdown transducer that repeats its translation no more than...
The aim of this paper is to show that a semi-commutation function can be expressed as the compound of a sequential transformation, a partial commutation function, and the reverse transformation. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the image of a regular language to be computed by the compound of two sequential functions and a partial commutation function.
We study semigroups generated by the restrictions of automaton extension (see, e.g., [3]) and give a characterization of automaton extensions that generate finite semigroups.
As already 2-monotone R-automata accept NP-complete languages, we introduce a restricted variant of j-monotonicity for restarting automata, called sequential j-monotonicity. For restarting automata without auxiliary symbols, this restricted variant still yields infinite hierarchies. However, for restarting automata with auxiliary symbols, all degrees of sequential monotonicity collapse to the first level, implying that RLWW-automata that are sequentially monotone of degree j for any j ≥ 1 only...
La classification chomskienne des langages formels conduit à l'étude d'objets mathématiques nouveaux: les séries rationnelles et algébriques en variables non commutatives.
Consider partial maps with a rational domain. We show that two families of such series are actually the same: the unambiguous rational series on the one hand, and the max-plus and min-plus rational series on the other hand. The decidability of equality was known to hold in both families with different proofs, so the above unifies the picture. We give an effective procedure...
