A note on the class of languages generated by F-systems over regular languages

Formal Languages and Automata Theory 2022-05-23 v2

Abstract

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 it shows that the class of languages generated by such F-systems is a proper subset of the class of linear context-free languages.
