Generalization of the Ginsburg-Rice Schützenberger fixed-point theorem for context-sensitive and recursive-enumerable languages

open access: yesTheoretical Computer Science, 1982
AbstractThe paper generalizes the Ginsburg-Rice Schützenberger ALGOL-like fixed-point theorem showing that every λ-free context-sensitive (recursive-enumerable) language is a component of the least fixed-point of a system of equations in the form X = F(X), where X = (X1,…,Xt), F = (F1,…,Ft),t⩾1 and for all i, 1⩽i⩽t, Fi are regular expre ssions over the

What is social science if not critical?

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
