TLDR
More efficient constructions for the Kleene star and for the reversal, which yield 2 ( n log n ) states, as well as an m 2 -state construction for the concatenation, are presented.

Additive Number Theory via Automata Theory

TL;DR: It is shown how some problems in additive number theory can be attacked in a novel way, using techniques from the theory of finite automata, and it is argued that heavily case-based proofs are a good signal that a decision procedure may help to automate the proof.

Descriptional complexity of unambiguous nested word automata

TL;DR: It is shown that the same worst case 2Θ(n2) size blowup occurs when converting a nondeterministic nested word automaton to an unambiguous one, and an unambiguously nested word Automaton to a deterministic one.

Input-Driven stack automata

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce input-driven stack automata, which are a generalization of visibly pushdown automata and show that the membership problem is NP-complete.

Edit Distance Neighbourhoods of Input-Driven Pushdown Automata

TL;DR: This paper establishes the closure of the family of input-driven pushdown Automata (IDPDA), also known as visibly pushdown automata, under the edit distance neighbourhood operation.

Descriptional Complexity and Operations – Two Non-classical Cases

TL;DR: This paper study these sets for the operation union, catenation, star, complement, set-subtraction, and intersection and the measure number of accepting states (defined for regular languages) as well as for reversal, union, doggone, and star and the measures number of nonterminals, productions, and symbols.

Visibly pushdown languages

TL;DR: This framework explains, unifies, and generalizes many of the decision procedures in the program analysis literature, and allows algorithmic verification of recursive programs with respect to many context-free properties including access control properties via stack inspection and correctness of procedures withrespect to pre and post conditions.

Adding nesting structure to words

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define nested word automata, which generalize both words and ordered trees, and allow both word and tree operations, and show that the resulting class of regular languages of nested words has all the appealing theoretical properties that the classical regular word languages enjoys: deterministic nestedword automata are as expressive as their non-deterministic counterparts; the class is closed under union, intersection, complementation, concatenation, Kleene-a, prefixes, and language homomorphisms; membership, emptiness, language equivalence are all decidable;

Nondeterministic descriptional complexity of regular languages

TL;DR: Bounds are shown for Boolean operations, catenation operations – concatenation, iteration, λ-free iteration – and the reversal on finite and infinite regular languages over unary and arbitrary alphabets.

Succinct representation of regular languages by boolean automata II

TL;DR: A precisely attainable lower bound on the succinctness of representing regular languages by boolean automata is shown; namely, it is shown that, for every n ⩾ 1, there exists a reduced automaton D n with n states such that the smallest boolean automaton accepting the same language has also n states.
