متن کاملFrom Determinism to Non-determinism in Recognizable Two-Dimensional Languages
Tiling systems that recognize two-dimensional languages are intrinsically non-deterministic models.

The corresponding family of languages matches all the requirements of a robust deterministic class. Furthermore we show that, differently from the one-dimensional case, there exist many cla...
