Context-free languages can be characterized in several ways. This article studies projective linearisations of languages of simple dependency trees, i.e., dependency trees in which a node can govern at most one node with a given syntactic…

This paper presents a decidable characterization of tree languages that can be defined by a boolean combination of Sigma_1 sentences. This is a tree extension of the Simon theorem, which says that a string language can be defined by a…

Building on \'Esik and Kuich's completeness result for finitely weighted Kleene algebra, we establish relational and language completeness results for finitely weighted Kleene algebra with tests. Similarly as \'Esik and Kuich, we assume…

We present a novel parsing algorithm for all context-free languages, based on computing the relation between configurations and reaching transitions in a recursive transition network. Parsing complexity w.r.t. input length matches the state…

We study zero-one laws for random graphs. We focus on the following question that was asked by many: Given a graph property P, is there a language of graphs able to express P while obeying the zero-one law? Our results show that on the one…

We study a class of rational Dyck paths with slope (2m+1)/2 corresponding to factor-free Dyck words, as introduced by P. Duchon. We show that, for the slopes considered in this paper, the language of factor-free Dyck words is generated by…

We investigate the properties of formal languages expressible in terms of formulas over quantifier-free theories of word equations, arithmetic over length constraints, and language membership predicates for the classes of regular, visibly…

We give Gr\"obner-Shirshov bases for Drinfeld-Kohno Lie algebra $\textbf{L}_{n}$ in \cite{[Et]} and Kukin Lie algebra $A_P$ in \cite{Kukin}, where $P$ is a semigroup. As applications, we show that as $\mathbb{Z}$-module $\textbf{L}_{n}$ is…

In the paper it is shown that the Kochen-Specker theorem follows from Burnside's theorem on noncommutative algebras. Accordingly, contextuality (as an impossibility of assigning binary values to projection operators independently of their…

We propose here a transcendantal proof of the coherence of the higher direct images of a coherent sheaf by a proper morphism of algebraic varieties, which does not use Chow's lemma nor any projective method. The main tool here are…

Proof assistants are software-based tools that are used in the mechanization of proof construction and validation in mathematics and computer science, and also in certified program development. Different tools are being increasingly used in…

This paper presents a new approach to partial parsing of context-free structures. The approach is based on Markov Models. Each layer of the resulting structure is represented by its own Markov Model, and output of a lower layer is passed as…

We reduce phrase-representation parsing to dependency parsing. Our reduction is grounded on a new intermediate representation, "head-ordered dependency trees", shown to be isomorphic to constituent trees. By encoding order information in…
