Consensual languages and matching finite-state computations

Stefano Crespi Reghizzi, Pierluigi San Pietro (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

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 can be interpreted...

Construction of a Deterministic ω-Automaton Using Derivatives

Roman R. Redziejowski (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

A deterministic automaton recognizing a given ω-regular language is constructed from an ω-regular expression with the help of derivatives. The construction is related to Safra's algorithm, in about the same way as the classical derivative method is related to the subset construction.

Construction of tree automata from regular expressions

Dietrich Kuske, Ingmar Meinecke (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Since recognizable tree languages are closed under the rational operations, every regular tree expression denotes a recognizable tree language. We provide an alternative proof to this fact that results in smaller tree automata. To this aim, we transfer Antimirov's partial derivatives from regular word expressions to regular tree expressions. For an analysis of the size of the resulting automaton as well as for algorithmic improvements, we also transfer the methods of Champarnaud and Ziadi from words...

Construction of Very Hard Functions for Multiparty Communication Complexity

Ján Maňuch (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We consider the multiparty communication model defined in [4] using the formalism from [8]. First, we correct an inaccuracy in the proof of the fundamental result of [6] providing a lower bound on the nondeterministic communication complexity of a function. Then we construct several very hard functions, i.e., functions such that those as well as their complements have the worst possible nondeterministic communication complexity. The problem to find a particular very hard function was...

Convergence behavior of the (1 +, λ) evolution strategy on the ridge functions.

Ahmet Irfan Oyman, Hans-Georg Beyer, Hans-Paul Schwefel (2000)

Mathware and Soft Computing

The convergence behavior of (1 +, λ)-ES is investigated at parabolic ridge, sharp ridge, and at the general case of the ridge functions. The progress rate, the distance to the ridge axis, the success rate, and the success probability are used in the analysis. The strong dependency of the (1 + λ)-ES to the initial conditions is shown using parabolic ridge test function when low distances to the ridge axis are chosen as the start value. The progress rate curve and the success probability curve of...
