TLDR
The new class of locally chain parsable languages (LCPLs), included in the deterministic context-free language family, is defined by means of the chain-driven automaton and characterized by decidable properties of grammar derivations.

Beyond operator-precedence grammars and languages

TL;DR: This work extends three relations between two terminal symbols, to assign syntax structure to words, to k-tuples of consecutive symbols, in agreement with strictly locally testable regular languages.

Higher-Order Operator Precedence Languages

TL;DR: It is shown that such languages are defined by a simple cancellation rule and it is proved that max-languages make an infinite hierarchy ordered by parameter k, and Boolean closure for each subfamily of structurally compatible HOP languages is proved.

Regular Methods for Operator Precedence Languages

TL;DR: The antichain algorithm for OPLs was proposed in this article , which is a generalization of the celebrated Myhill-Nerode theorem for the regular languages to OPL.

Introduction to formal language theory

TL;DR: This volume intended to serve as a text for upper undergraduate and graduate level students and special emphasis is given to the role of algebraic techniques in formal language theory through a chapter devoted to the fixed point approach to the analysis of context-free languages.

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;

Syntactic Analysis and Operator Precedence

TL;DR: Three increasingly restricted types of formal grammar are phrase structure Grammars, operator grammars and precedence grammar, which form models of mathematical and algorithmic languages which may be analyzed mechanically by a simple procedure based on a matrix representation of a relation between character pairs.

Parenthesis Grammars

TL;DR: A decision procedure is given which determines whether the languages defined by two parenthesis grammars are equal.

Church-Rosser Thue systems and formal languages

TL;DR: Three ways in which formal languages can be defined by Thue systems with the Church-Rosser property are studied, and some general results about the three families of languages so determined are studied.
