In formal language theory, many families of languages are defined using grammars or finite acceptors like pushdown automata and Turing machines. For instance, context-sensitive l...
Decidability of non-structural subtype entailment is a long standing open problem in programming language theory. In this paper, we apply automata theoretic methods to characterize...
Abstract. While visibly pushdown languages properly generalise regular languages and are properly contained in deterministic context-free languages, the complexity of their members...
An operation of concatenation is introduced for graphs. Then strings are viewed as expressions denoting graphs, and string languages are interpreted as graph languages. For a clas...
Finite-state technology is considered the preferred model for representing the phonology and morphology of natural languages. The attractiveness of this technology for natural lang...
