چکیده

This paper proves that every recursively enumerable language is generated by a scattered context grammar with no more than four nonterminals and three non-context-free productions. In its conclusion, it gives an overview of the results and open problems concerning scattered context grammars and languages.

On Descriptional Complexity of Partially Parallel Grammars

This paper presents some new results concerning the descriptional complexity of partially parallel grammars. Specifically, it proves that every recursively enumerable language is generated (i) by a four-nonterminal scattered context grammar with no more than four non-context-free productions, (ii) by a two-nonterminal multisequential grammar with no more than two selectors, or (iii) by a three-...

Descriptional Complexity of Generalized Forbidding Grammars

This paper discusses the descriptional complexity of generalized forbidding grammars in context of degrees, numbers of nonterminals and conditional productions, and a new descriptional complexity measure—an index—of generalized forbidding grammars.

Descriptional Complexity of Three-Nonterminal Scattered Context Grammars: An Improvement

Recently, it has been shown that every recursively enumerable language can be generated by a scattered context grammar with no more than three nonterminals. However, in that construction, the maximal number of nonterminals simultaneously rewritten during a derivation step depends on many factors, such as the cardinality of the alphabet of the generated language and the structure of the generate...

Generating all permutations by context-free grammars in Greibach normal form

We consider context-free grammars Gn in Greibach normal form and, particularly, in Greibach m-form (m = 1, 2) which generates the finite language Ln of all n! strings that are permutations of n different symbols (n ≥ 1). These grammars are investigated with respect to their descriptional complexity, i.e., we determine the number of nonterminal symbols and the number of production rules of Gn as...

Descriptional Complexity of Context-Free Grammar Forms

Csuhaj-Vajh, E. and A. Kelemenovi, Descriptional complexity of context-free grammar forms, Theoretical Computer Science 112 (1993) 277-289. Descriptional complexity aspects of grammar forms are studied. It is shown that grammatical complexity measures HEI,q, LEV,<, VAR,<, PROD,< and DEP., related to any appropriate infinite class ‘8 of grammars are unbounded on the infinite class of languages d...
