TLDR
A systematic treatment of the relationships between parallel rewriting systems (top-down tree transducer, ETOL system) and two-way machines (2-way gsm, tree-walking automaton, checking stack automaton) is given.
Abstract
This extended abstract is a condensed version of the results presented in two technical reports ([16] and [13]). In [16] a systematic treatment of the relationships between parallel rewriting systems (top-down tree transducer, ETOL system) and two-way machines (2-way gsm, tree-walking automaton, checking stack automaton) is given. Particular attention is paid to the effect of restricting the copying power of these devices. In [13] the results of [16] are employed to show that the iteration of nondeterministic top-down tree transducers, of nondeterministic 2-way gsm's and of control on ETOL systems each gives rise to a proper hierarchy.

Deciding Equivalence of Linear Tree-to-Word Transducers in Polynomial Time

TL;DR: In this paper, the equivalence of linear top-down tree-to-word transducers is shown to be decidable in polynomial time, based on a partial normal form that provides a basic characterization of the languages produced by linear tree to word transducers.

Extended linear macro grammars, iteration grammars, and register programs

TL;DR: It is shown that extended macro Grammars have the same language generating power as (parallel) iteration grammars and can be formulated using iterated substitution using IO and OI versions.

Sur les générateurs algébriques et linéaires

TL;DR: The authors showed that the algebraic language E generated by the grammar: S? aSbSc + d dominates all algebraic languages by faithful sequential mappings and showed that no algebraic generator belongs to the family EDTOL.

Bottom-up and top-down tree transformations - a comparison

TL;DR: A new tree transformation model is introduced which generalizes both the top-down and the bottom-up tree transducer, and is used to give simple proofs of composition results concerning bottom- up tree transformations.

Grammars with macro-like productions

TL;DR: Two new classes of grammars based on programming macros are studied, one of which is IO but not OI and the other OI but not IO, showing that neither class contains the other.
