چکیده

Functional MSO transductions, deterministic two-way transducers, as well as streaming string transducers are all equivalent models for regular functions. In this paper, we show that every regular function, either on finite words or on infinite words, captured by a deterministic two-way transducer, can be described with a regular transducer expression (RTE). For infinite words, the transducer uses Muller acceptance and ω-regular look-ahead. RTEs are constructed from constant functions using the combinators if-then-else (deterministic choice), Hadamard product, and unambiguous versions of the Cauchy product, the 2-chained Kleene-iteration and the 2chained omega-iteration. Our proof works for transformations of both finite and infinite words, extending the result on finite words of Alur et al. in LICS’14. In order to construct an RTE associated with a deterministic two-way Muller transducer with look-ahead, we introduce the notion of transition monoid for such two-way transducers where the look-ahead is captured by some backward deterministic Büchi automaton. Then, we use an unambiguous version of Imre Simon’s famous forest factorization theorem in order to derive a “good” (ω-)regular expression for the domain of the two-way transducer. “Good” expressions are unambiguous and Kleene-plus as well as ω-iterations are only used on subexpressions corresponding to idempotent elements of the transition monoid. The combinator expressions are finally constructed by structural induction on the “good” (ω-)regular expression describing the domain of the transducer.

Extrapolating Tree Transformations

We consider the framework of regular tree model checking where sets of configurations of a system are represented by regular tree languages and its dynamics is modeled by a term rewriting system (or a regular tree transducer). We focus on the computation of the reachability set R(L) where R is a regular tree transducer and L is a regular tree language. The construction of this set is not possib...

Derivative-Based Diagnosis of Regular Expression Ambiguity

Regular expressions are often ambiguous. We present a novel method based on Brzozowski’s derivatives to aid the user in diagnosing ambiguous regular expressions. We introduce a derivative-based finite state transducer to generate parse trees and minimal counter-examples. The transducer can be easily customized to either follow the POSIX or Greedy disambiguation policy and based on a finite set ...

Compositions of Extended Top-down Tree Transducers

Unfortunately, the class of transformations computed by linear extended top-down tree transducers with regular look-ahead is not closed under composition. It is shown that the class of transformations computed by certain linear bimorphisms coincides with the previously mentioned class. Moreover, it is demonstrated that every linear epsilon-free extended top-down tree transducer with regular loo...

Regular Transformations of Data Words Through Origin Information

We introduce a class of transformations of finite data words generalizing the well-known class of regular finite string transformations described by MSO-definable transductions of finite strings. These transformations map input words to output words whereas our transformations handle data words where each position has a letter from a finite alphabet and a data value. Each data value appearing i...

FO-Definable Transformations of Infinite Strings

The theory of regular and aperiodic transformations of finite strings has recently received a lot of interest. These classes can be equivalently defined using logic (Monadic second-order logic and first-order logic), two-way machines (regular two-way and aperiodic two-way transducers), and one-way register machines (regular streaming string and aperiodic streaming string transducers). These cla...
