An F-system is a computational model that performs a folding operation on words of a given language, following directions coded on words of another given language. This paper considers the case in which both given languages are regular, and…

Pumping lemmas are created to prove that given languages are not belong to certain language classes. There are several known pumping lemmas for the whole class and some special classes of the context-free languages. In this paper we prove…

We study a pumping lemma for the word/tree languages generated by higher-order grammars. Pumping lemmas are known up to order-2 word languages (i.e., for regular/context-free/indexed languages), and have been used to show that a given…

Pumping lemmata are the main tool to prove that a certain language does not belong to a class of languages like the recognizable languages or the context-free languages. Essentially two pumping lemmata exist for the recognizable weighted…

In formal language theory, one of the most fundamental tools, known as pumping lemmas, is extremely useful for regular and context-free languages. However, there are natural properties for which the pumping lemmas are of little use. One of…

Following a seminar the present author gave to an Automata Theory course to computer science students, it will be presented, in a very synthetic and mostly selfcontained way, the principal properties of context free languages (CFL), with…

We prove a kind of a pumping lemma for languages accepted by one-register alternating finite-memory automata. As a corollary, we obtain that the set of lengths of words in such languages is semi-linear.

The pumping lemma and Ogden lemma offer a powerful method to prove that a particular language is not context-free. In 2008 Kanazawa proved an analogue of pumping lemma for well-nested multiple-context free languages. However, the statement…

Context-free languages (CFLs) are highly important in computer language processing technology as well as in formal language theory. The Pumping Lemma is a property that is valid for all context-free languages, and is used to show the…

The study of the operational complexity of minimal pumping constants started in [J. DASSOW and I. JECKER. Operational complexity and pumping lemmas. Acta Inform., 59:337-355, 2022], where an almost complete picture of the operational…

We motivate and prove a strong pumping lemma for regular tree languages. The new lemma can be seen as the natural correspondent of Ogden's lemma for context-free string languages.

P systems with active membranes were used to generate languages, in the sense of languages associated with the structure of membrane systems. Here, we analyze the power of P systems with membrane creation and dissolution restricted to…

The pumping lemma for context-free languages is a result about pushdown automata which is strikingly similar to the well-known pumping lemma for regular languages. However, though the lemma for regular languages is simply proved by using…

Language models have become the backbone of today's AI systems. However, their predominant left-to-right generation limits the use of bidirectional context, which is essential for tasks that involve filling text in the middle. We propose…

We present pumping lemmas for five classes of functions definable by fragments of weighted automata over the min-plus semiring, the max-plus semiring and the semiring of natural numbers. As a corollary we show that the hierarchy of…

We present a necessary condition for an infinite language to be multiple context-free, which we call a Substitution Lemma. We apply it to show a sample selection of languages are not multiple context-free, including the word problem of the…

Circular splicing systems are a formal model of a generative mechanism of circular words, inspired by a recombinant behaviour of circular DNA. Some unanswered questions are related to the computational power of such systems, and finding a…

Splicing as a binary word/language operation is inspired by the DNA recombination under the action of restriction enzymes and ligases, and was first introduced by Tom Head in 1987. Shortly thereafter, it was proven that the languages…
