Abstract. Glushkov’s algorithm builds an ε-free nondeterministic automaton from a given regular expression. In the worst case, its number of states is linear and its number of t...
We study the average number of transitions in Glushkov automata built from random regular expressions. This statistic highly depends on the probabilistic distribution set on the e...
The partial derivative automaton (Apd) is usually smaller than other non-deterministic finite automata constructed from a regular expression, and it can be seen as a quotient of th...
We prove that, for the uniform distribution over all sets X of m (that is a fixed integer) non-empty words whose sum of lengths is n, DX , one of the usual deterministic automata r...
Data-flow analysis is an integral part of any aggressive optimizing compiler. We propose a framework for improving the precision of data-flow analysis in the presence of complex c...
