Dyck-based characterizations of Indexed Languages

Formal Languages and Automata Theory 2015-11-11 v4

Abstract

Indexed languages are a generalization of context-free languages and form a proper subset of context-sensitive languages. We propose to generalize to indexed languages several well known characterizations of context-free languages: namely, the characterization by rational transductions defined by Nivat, the Chomsky-Sch\"utzenberger theorem, and the logical characterization proved by Lautemann et al.

The general approach can be improved and some statements are inaccurate
