Parikh's theorem states that the Parikh image of a context-free language is semilinear or, equivalently, that every context-free language has the same Parikh image as some regular language. We present a very simple construction that, given…
Parikh's theorem is a fundamental result of the formal language's theory. There had been published many proofs and many papers claimed to provide a simplified proof, but most of them are long and still complicated. We provide the proof that…
We prove that the Parikh map of a bounded context-free language is a box spline. Moreover we prove that in this case, such a function is rational.
Parikh's Theorem is a fundamental result in automata theory with numerous applications in computer science: software verification (e.g. infinite-state verification, string constraints, and theory of arrays), verification of cryptographic…
The commutative ambiguity of a context-free grammar G assigns to each Parikh vector v the number of distinct leftmost derivations yielding a word with Parikh vector v. Based on the results on the generalization of Newton's method to…
We investigate commutative images of languages recognised by register automata and grammars. Semi-linear and rational sets can be naturally extended to this setting by allowing for orbit-finite unions instead of only finite ones. We prove…
Parikh's Theorem states that every context-free grammar (CFG) is equivalent to some regular CFG when the ordering of symbols in the words is ignored. The same is not true for the so-called weighted CFGs, which additionally assign a weight…
Parikh theorem was originally stated and proved by Rohkit Parikh in MIT research report in 1961. Many different proofs of this classical theorems were produced then; our goal is to give another proof using Chomsky-Schutzenberger…
We show a new and constructive proof of the following language-theoretic result: for every context-free language L, there is a bounded context-free language L' included in L which has the same Parikh (commutative) image as L. Bounded…
We show that the Parikh image of the language of an NFA with n states over an alphabet of size k can be described as a finite union of linear sets with at most k generators and total size 2^{O(k^2 log n)}, i.e., polynomial for all fixed k…
We consider commutative regular and context-free grammars, or, in other words, Parikh images of regular and context-free languages. By using linear algebra and a branching analog of the classic Euler theorem, we show that, under an…
It is well-known that: (i) every context-free language over a singleton terminal alphabet is regular, and (ii) the class of languages that satisfy the Pumping Lemma is a proper super-class of the context-free languages. We show that any…
It has been conjectured that the Parikh (commutative) image of every language over an infinite alphabet recognized by an automaton with registers is defined by a rational expression. This conjecture is known to hold for all languages…
Parikh's theorem states that every Context Free Language (CFL) has the same Parikh image as that of a regular language. A finite state automaton accepting such a regular language is called a Parikh-equivalent automaton. In the worst case,…
Indexed languages are a classical notion in formal language theory. As the language equivalent of second-order pushdown automata, they have received considerable attention in higher-order model checking. Unfortunately, counting properties…
We consider Parikh images of languages accepted by non-deterministic finite automata and context-free grammars; in other words, we treat the languages in a commutative way --- we do not care about the order of letters in the accepted word,…
Weighted automata model quantitative aspects of systems like the consumption of resources during executions. Traditionally, the weights are assumed to form the algebraic structure of a semiring, but recently also other weight computations…
We introduce a normal form for context-free grammars, called Dyck normal form. This is a syntactical restriction of the Chomsky normal form, in which the two nonterminals occurring on the right-hand side of a rule are paired nonterminals.…
The family, L(INDLIN), of languages generated by linear indexed grammars has been studied in the literature. It is known that the Parikh image of every language in L(INDLIN) is semi-linear. However, there are bounded semi linear languages…
Back in the 80s, the class of mildly context-sensitive formalisms was introduced so as to capture the syntax of natural languages. While the languages generated by such formalisms are constrained by the constant-growth property, the most…
