Context-free Languages

1988
In this chapter we shall define a class of rewriting systems called context-free grammars. The left-hand side of a rule in a context-free grammar consists of a single symbol, so that symbols are rewritten “context-freely”. Context-free grammars are of central importance to us because they define the class of context-free languages, the parsing of which

Context-Free Languages

2004
Context-free grammars and languages play an important role in Linguistics and Computer Science. Introduced by Noam Chomsky in 1958 as tools for the description of natural language, it was soon realized that they also could be used for the design of programming languages.

Kernels of Context-Free Languages

International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science
While the closure of a language family [Formula: see text] under certain language operations is the least family of languages which contains all members of [Formula: see text] and is closed under all of the operations, a kernel of [Formula: see text] is a maximal family of languages which is a sub-family of [Formula: see text] and is closed under all ...

The Hardest Context-Free Language

SIAM Journal on Computing, 1973
There is a context-free language $L_0 $ such that every context-free language is an inverse homomorphic image of $L_0 $ or $L_0 - \{ e\} $. Hence the time complexity of recognition of $L_0 $ is the least upper bound for time complexity of recognition of context-free languages. A similar result holds for quasirealtime Turing machine languages.

On Universally Polynomial Context-Free Languages

International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science, 2001
A language is universally polynomial if its intersection with every NP-complete language is in P. Such a language would provide an automatic method for generating easy instances of intractable problems. In this note, we give a complete characterization of universally polynomial languages that are context-free, answering an open question in [4].

Context-Free Languages

2011
Among what are called languages, there are artificial languages such as programming languages and natural languages such as English, German, French, and Japanese, etc. The languages that we study in this book belong to the former group, and in this chapter we study context-free languages in the former group.

Context-Free Grammars and XML Languages

2006
We study the decision properties of XML languages. It was known that given a context-free language included in the Dyck language with sufficiently many pairs of parentheses, it is undecidable whether or not it is an XML language. We improve on this result by showing that the problem remains undecidable when the language is written on a unique pair of ...

Linear Context Free Languages

2007
In this paper, I present the class of linear context free languages (LCFLs) with a class of non-deterministic one-way two-head (read only) automata, called non-deterministic linear automata (NLA). At the begining of the work of an NLA, the reading heads are installed under the opposite ends of the given input string.
