The undecidability of form equivalence for context-free and E0L forms
1984
Theoretical Computer Science
We prove that the form equivalence problem is undecidable for (a) context-free grammar forms, and (b) EOL forms. The proofs of these results are based on our investigations concerning language forms. ...
This paper studies the decidability status of various equivalence problems in form theory. Most of our discussions concern the notion of a language form. We compare the form equivalence problem be! ...

Decidability of EDT0L structural equivalence
2002
Theoretical Computer Science
In this way we reduce the structural equivalence problem for EDT0L grammars to deciding emptiness of the tree language recognized by a tree pushdown automaton, i.e., to the emptiness problem for context-free ...
Thus we establish that structural equivalence for EDT0L grammars can be decided e ectively. The result contrasts the known undecidability result for ET0L structural equivalence. ...
Both syntax and structural equivalence are decidable for context-free and E0L grammars [8, 13, 15, 16, 19, 26] . ...

On fixed, terminal fixed and nonterminal fixed interpretations of E0L forms
1981
Information and Control
It is also proved that for each of the new defined interpretation mechanisms the form equivalence problem is undecidable. ...
This paper presents a systematic investigation of the basic axioms of the theory of E0L forms, in particular it continues the research from Rozenberg and Verraedt. ...
It is easily seen that all the E0L forms used in proofs of our undecidability results of this section were essentially linear context free forms under strict interpretations (see Maurer et al., 1980) ...

Decidability of structural equivalence of E0L grammars
1991
Theoretical Computer Science
Unfortunately, the equivalence problems for both context-free and EOL grammars are undecidable (cf. [8,9,1 a]). ...
We say that EOL grammars G, and G2 are equivalent if L( G,) -L( G,). It is well known that equivalence is undecidable even for context-free grammars. ...

The equivalence problem is undecidable for P0L languages and so are the context-freeness, regularity and 0L-ness problems for E0L languages. 2 Because even simple subfamilies of IL contain nonrecursive ...
For instance, equivalence is undecidable for context-free grammars, whereas structural equivalence, where also the derivation structures of the two grammars have to be the same, is decidable. ...

Interactive L systems with almost interactionless behaviour

Some interesting properties of e-GD2L systems are established, the main result being the decidability of the sequence equivalence problem for them. I. ...
For this reason the most important systems for a biologist are I)0L and DIL sy'stems, the deterministic vcrsions of the basic interactionlcss and interactive systems. ...
So the abbreviation a ~ c~ for the context-free production (x, a, y) --+ a can be used. The production of G, which arc not context-free, arc called context-sensitive. ...

Decidability of operation problems for T0L languages and subclasses

Information and Computation
We show that for all of the above mentioned language operations, except for the Kleene closure, the corresponding operation problems of 0L and T0L languages and their propagating variants are not even ...
We investigate the decidability of the operation problem for T0L languages and subclasses. Fix an operation on formal languages. ...
Introduction Elementary undecidable questions for formal language families appeared first in [1] , where it was shown that the family of languages defined by context-free grammars is too wide to admit ...

Complexity of E0L structural equivalence

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications
Contrasting the results for context-free (CF) and EOL grammars it was shown recently [17] that the structural équivalence problem for ETOL (tabled EOL) grammars is undecidable. ...
While it is well known that language équivalence of context-free grammars is undecidable, it was shown by McNaughton [10] , and, Paull and Unger [14] that structural équivalence can be decided effectively ...

Height equivalence is solved completely, weight equivalence remains open, and structural equivalence is solved for two special cases. ...
We characterize EOL grammars with two nonterminals that generate exactly the sets of l-2 and 2-3 trees. ...
The importance of this concept for context-free grammars is that structural equivalence is decidable [5] , while language equivalence is undecidable. ...
