Restarting automata with restricted utilization of auxiliary symbols

Restarting automata with restricted utilization of auxiliary symbols

The restarting automaton is a restricted model of computation that was introduced by Jančar et al. to model the so-called analysis by reduction, which is a technique used in linguistics to analyze sentences of natural languages. The most general models of restarting automata make use of auxiliary symbols in their rewrite operations, although this ability does not directly correspond to any aspe...

Restarting Automata with Auxiliary Symbols and Small Lookahead

We present a study on lookahead hierarchies for restarting automata with auxiliary symbols and small lookahead. In particular, we show that there are just two different classes of languages recognised by RRWW automata, through the restriction of lookahead size. We also show that the respective (left-) monotone restarting automaton models characterise the context-free languages and that the resp...

On Restarting Automata with Rewriting

Motivated by natural language analysis we introduce restarting automata with rewriting. They are acceptors on the one hand, and (special) regulated rewriting systems on the other hand. The computation of a restarting automaton proceeds in cycles: in each cycle, a bounded substring of the input word is rewritten by a shorter string, and the computation restarts on the arising shorter word. We sh...

Lookahead Hierarchies of Restarting Automata

The restarting automaton is a special kind of the linear bounded automaton with a read/write window of fixed length. It works in cycles, reducing the length of the actual word in each cycle. We study several versions of restarting automata and we show several hierarchies of language classes recognized by them with respect to the size of the read/write-window.
