The minimization problem for visibly pushdown automata (VPA) is studied. Two subclasses of VPA are introduced: call driven automata, and block automata. For the first class, minim...
Abstract. We define the notion of height-deterministic pushdown automata, a model where for any given input string the stack heights during any (nondeterministic) computation on t...
Visibly Pushdown Transducers (VPT) form a subclass of pushdown transducers. In this paper, we investigate the extension of VPT with visibly pushdown look-ahead (VPTla). Their trans...
Dynamic networks of Pushdown Systems (PDN in short) have been introduced to perform static analysis of concurrent programs that may spawn threads dynamically. In this model the se...
We show that fixed membership testing for many interesting subclasses of multi-pushdown machines is no harder than for pushdowns with single stack. The models we consider are MVPA...
