A Complete Refinement Procedure for Regular Separability of Context-Free Languages
[article]
2014
arXiv
pre-print
Often, when analyzing the behaviour of systems modelled as context-free languages, we wish to know if two languages overlap. ...
To this end, we present an effective semi-decision procedure for regular separability of context-free languages, based on counter-example guided abstraction refinement. ...
Acknowledgments We wish to thank Georgel Calin for providing the test programs and the implementation of lcegar. We also thank Pierre Ganty for fruitful discussions about this topic. ...

Finite turns and the regular closure of linear context-free languages
2007
Discrete Applied Mathematics
Their relationships with closures of the linear context-free languages under regular operations are studied. ...
The regular closure of the linear languages share the strong closure properties of the context-free languages, i.e., the family is a full AFL. ...
Since deterministic context-free languages are not closed under the regular operations union, concatenation, and Kleene star, the regular closure of the deterministic context-free languages increases the ...

Recognition and learning of a class of context-sensitive languages described by augmented regular expressions
1997
Pattern Recognition
In this paper, a new formalism that permits to represent a non-trivial class of context-sensitive languages, the Augmented Regular Expressions (AREs), is introduced. ...
AREs augment the expressive power of Regular Expressions (REs) by including a set of constraints that involve the number of instances in a string of the operands of the star operations of an RE. ...
For example, the language of rectangles L(/?l) and the context-free language { 0v~ IV20V~ I v2 = Vl + v3} cannot be described by any pattern language. ...

Substitution expressions
1971
Journal of computer and system sciences (Print)
This paper describes a characterization of context-free languages by means of expressions using union, substitution, and an iterative substitution called substitution star. ...
The well-known eases of linear and regular subfamilies of context-free languages are obtainable from the general model by placing proper restrictions on the basis over which the substitution expressions ...

Parsing with derivatives
2011
Proceeding of the 16th ACM SIGPLAN international conference on Functional programming - ICFP '11
We equip the functional programmer with two equational theories that, when combined, make for an abbreviated understanding and implementation of a system for parsing context-free languages. ...
If we consider context-free grammars as recursive regular expressions, Brzozowski's equational theory extends without modification to context-free grammars (and it generalizes to parser combinators). ...
Acknowledgements We are grateful for the thousands of comments on reddit, hackernews, Lambda the Ultimate and elsewhere that thoroughly dissected and improved an earlier draft of this work. ...

Operational State Complexity under Parikh Equivalence

2014
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
For union, concatenation, Kleene star, complement, intersection, shuffle, and reversal, we obtain a polynomial state complexity over any fixed alphabet, in contrast to the intrinsic exponential state complexity ...

Unlike union or intersection, both concatenation and star are known to cost an exponential number of states on dfas. ...

Context-Free Path Queries on RDF Graphs
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
To overcome this limitation, in this paper, we present cfSPARQL, an extension of SPARQL query language equipped with context-free grammars. ...
Most of the navigational query languages used in the RDF community, e.g. property paths in W3C SPARQL 1.1 and nested regular expressions in nSPARQL, are based on the regular expressions. ...

On the algebraic side, we present Eilenberg's variety theory and its successive improvements, including the recent notion of C-variety. ...
We consider successively the star-height problem, the Straubing-Thérien's concatenation hierarchy and the shuffle operation. ...
In our context, a positive Boolean algebra will be a class of languages closed under finite union and finite intersection. ...

This is in contrast to even the context-free languages, which we show can have query complexity Theta(n^c) for all computable c in [1/2,1]. ...
The heart of the classification theorem is an explicit quantum algorithm which decides membership in any star-free language in ~O(sqrt n) time. ...
