We show that the Parikh image of the language of an NFA with n states over an alphabet of size k can be described as a finite union of linear sets with at most k generators and to...
A reduction system for regular expressions is presented. For a regular expression t, the reduction system is proved to terminate in a state where the most-reduced expression readil...
We show a new and constructive proof of the following language-theoretic result: for every context-free language L, there is a bounded context-free language L L which has the same...
A new algorithm is presented for testing if a regular language is locally threshold testable. The new algorithm is slower than existing algorithms, but its correctness proof is sh...
We show the decidability of model checking PA-processes against several first-order logics based upon the reachability predicate. The main tool for this result is the recognizabil...
