Prime normal form and equivalence of simple grammars
2006
Theoretical Computer Science
Our algorithm computes a canonical representation of a simple language, converting its arbitrary simple grammar into prime normal form (PNF); a simple grammar is in PNF if all its nonterminals define primes ...
We also improve the complexity of testing the equivalence of simple grammars. The best previously known algorithm for this problem worked in O(n 13 ) time. ...

2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Next, the set of right-hand sides of productions may be an infinite regular language. XML-grammars are a special kind of balanced grammars. This paper studies balanced grammars and their languages. ...
It is shown that there exists a unique minimal balanced grammar equivalent to a given one. Next, balanced languages are characterized through a property of their syntactic congruence. ...
Corollary 4. 2 . 2 If a context-free grammar is balanced (pure balanced, in Greibach normal form, in two-sided Greibach normal form, is finite), there exists an equivalent codeterministic grammar that ...
