Register automata extend classical finite automata with a finite set of registers that can store data from an infinite data domain for later equality comparisons with data from an input data word. While the registers in the original model…

Although regular expressions do not correspond univocally to regular languages, it is still worthwhile to study their properties and algorithms. For the average case analysis one often relies on the uniform random generation using a…

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…
