Quotient Complexity of Regular Languages [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2009
The past research on the state complexity of operations on regular languages is examined, and a new approach based on an old method (derivatives of regular expressions) is presented.

The genus of regular languages [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Structures in Computer Science, 2016
The paper defines and studies the genus of finite state deterministic automata (FSA) and regular languages. Indeed, an FSA can be seen as a graph for which the notion of genus arises. At the same time, an FSA has a semantics via its underlying language. It is then natural to make a connection between the languages and the notion of genus.

Regular languages and associative language descriptions [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2007
The Associative Language Description model (ALD) is a combination of locally testable and constituent structure ideas. It is consistent with current views on brain organization and can rather conveniently describe typical technical languages such as Pascal or HTML.

A Cognitive Regularizer for Language Modeling [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 59th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics and the 11th International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing (Volume 1: Long Papers), 2021
The uniform information density (UID) hypothesis, which posits that speakers behaving optimally tend to distribute information uniformly across a linguistic signal, has gained traction in psycholinguistics as an explanation for certain syntactic, morphological, and prosodic choices.

Maximally Atomic Languages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The atoms of a regular language are non-empty intersections of complemented and uncomplemented quotients of the language. Tight upper bounds on the number of atoms of a language and on the quotient complexities of atoms are known.

On the entropy of regular languages

open access: yesTheoretical Computer Science, 2003
AbstractLet L be an irreducible regular language. Let W be a non-empty set of words (or sub-words) of L and denote by LW={v∈L:w⊏̸v,∀w∈W} the language obtained from L by forbidding all the words w in W. Then the entropy decreases strictly: ent(LW)

An Automata Theoretic Approach to the Zero-One Law for Regular Languages: Algorithmic and Logical Aspects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A zero-one language L is a regular language whose asymptotic probability converges to either zero or one. In this case, we say that L obeys the zero-one law.

Parameterized regular expressions and their languages [PDF]

open access: yesTheoretical Computer Science, 2013
We study regular expressions that use variables, or parameters, which are interpreted as alphabet letters. We consider two classes of languages denoted by such expressions: under the possibility semantics, a word belongs to the language if it is denoted by some regular expression obtained by replacing variables with letters; under the certainly ...

On the Structure and Complexity of Rational Sets of Regular Languages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In a recent thread of papers, we have introduced FQL, a precise specification language for test coverage, and developed the test case generation engine FShell for ANSI C.

On the Commutative Equivalence of Context-Free Languages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The problem of the commutative equivalence of context-free and regular languages is studied. In particular conditions ensuring that a context-free language of exponential growth is commutatively equivalent with a regular language are ...
