چکیده

Regular trees can he detined by two types of rational exprwions. For these two types w;isolve the star-height problem, i.e., we show how to construct a rational expression of minimal star-height from the minimal graph of the given tree (i.e., the analogue of the minimal deterministic automaton for regular languages). In one case, the minimal starheight is the rank (in the Sense of Eggan) of the minimal graph. There corresponds a characterization of the star-height of a preti---free regular language w.r.t. rational expressions of a special kind (called deterministic) as ,il~ r:::;L of its minimal deterministic automaton considered as a graph.

A method for analyzing the problem of determining the maximum common fragments of temporal directed tree, that do not change with time

In this study two actual types of problems are considered and solved: 1) determining the maximum common connected fragment of the T-tree (T-directed tree) which does not change with time; 2) determining all maximum common connected fragments of the T-tree (T-directed tree) which do not change with time. The choice of the primary study of temporal directed trees and trees is justified by the wid...

The effect of ecophysiography on the quantitative characteristics of DBH, height, basal area, crown diameter and canopy area of trees in mountain forest communities (Case study: Oak-hornbeam community in Arasbaran forest)

Ecophysiography is the geography of the earth and the relationship between physiography and the ecosystem. Ecophysiography is a basis for planning processes to study the characteristics of terrestrial systems concerning the interactions between terrestrial physiography and living organisms. Due to the current state of ecosystems and the increase in natural disasters for ecosystem sustainability...

The Generalized Star-Height Problem

The minimal number of nested Kleene stars required in a regular expression representing a language provides a simple complexity measure on the regular languages. For restricted regular expressions in which complementation is not allowed, much is known about the measure. In particular, Eggan(1963) showed that for any n, there is a language of star-height n[1]. Hashiguchi(1983) then gave a method...

Evaluation of Nonlinear Height-Diameter Models of Two Important Species of Turkish Pine (Pinus brutia) and Mediterranean Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis), in the Planted Forests

Knowledge about the relationship between tree height (H) and diameter at breast height (D) is crucial for forest planning, monitoring, biomass estimation, and forest stands dynamics description. In this study, 20 different height-diameter models were evaluated to estimate accurately the height of the trees of Pinus brutia and Cupressus sempervirens var. horizontalis species in Arabdagh region (...

The Nesting-Depth of Disjunctive µ-Calculus for Tree Languages and the Limitedness Problem

In this paper we lift the result of Hashiguchi of decidability of the restricted star-height problem for words to the level of finite trees. Formally, we show that it is decidable, given a regular tree language L and a natural number k whether L can be described by a disjunctive μ-calculus formula with at most k nesting of fixpoints. We show the same result for disjunctive μ-formulas allowing s...
