  • Juha Honkala
چکیده

In a recent paper we introduced Parikh slender languages as a generalization of slender languages defined and studied by AndraSiu, Dassow, Pgun and Salomaa. Results concerning Pa&h slender languages can be applied in ambiguity proofs of context-free languages. In this paper an algorithm is presented for deciding whether or not a given context-free language is Parikh slender.

On lengths of words in context-free languages

We consider slender languages, that is, languages for which the number of words of the same length is bounded from above by a constant. We prove that the slenderness problem is decidable for context-free languages and that the maximal number of words of the same length in a given context-free language is computable. Some e ective representations of slender context-free languages, as well as oth...

Characterization of Context-Free Languages with Polynomially Bounded Ambiguity

We prove that the class of context-free languages with polynomially bounded ambiguity (PCFL) is the closure of the class of unambiguous languages (UCFL) under projections which deletes Parikh bounded symbols only. A symbol a is Parikh bounded in a language L if there is a constant c such that no word of L contains more than c occurrences of a. Furthermore PCFL is closed under the formally stron...
