Brzozowski derivatives of a regular expression are developed for constructing deterministic automata from the given regular expression in the algebraic way. In this paper,some lemmas of the regular expressions are discussed and the regular…

We present here a construction for the derived term automaton (aka partial derivative, or Antimirov, automaton) of a rational (or regular) expression based on a sole induction on the depth of the expression and without making reference to…

In this paper, we extend the notion of tree language quotients to bottom-up quotients. Instead of computing the residual of a tree language from top to bottom and producing a list of tree languages, we show how to compute a set of k-ary…

We provide new insights on the determinization and minimization of tree automata using congruences on trees. From this perspective, we study a Brzozowski's style minimization algorithm for tree automata. First, we prove correct this method…

We propose another interpretation of well-known derivatives computations from regular expressions, due to Brzozowski, Antimirov or Lombardy and Sakarovitch, in order to abstract the underlying data structures (e.g. sets or linear…

The conversion of a given regular tree expression into a tree automaton has been widely studied. However, classical interpretations are based upon a Top-Down interpretation of tree automata. In this paper, we propose new constructions based…

Regular expressions are often ambiguous. We present a novel method based on Brzozowski's derivatives to aid the user in diagnosing ambiguous regular expressions. We introduce a derivative-based finite state transducer to generate parse…

We extend Antimirov's partial derivatives from regular expressions to $\mu$-regular expressions that describe context-free languages. We prove the correctness of partial derivatives as well as the finiteness of the set of iterated partial…

The aim of this paper is to design a theoretical framework that allows us to perform the computation of regular expression derivatives through a space of generic structures. Thanks to this formalism, the main properties of regular…

Our aim is to construct a finite automaton recognizing the set of words that are at a bounded distance from some word of a given regular language. We define new regular operators, the similarity operators, based on a generalization of the…

We provide syntactic derivative-like operations, defined by recursion on regular expressions, in the styles of both Brzozowski and Antimirov, for trace closures of regular languages. Just as the Brzozowski and Antimirov derivative…

This paper proposes an extension to classical regular expressions by the addition of two operators allowing the inclusion of boolean formulae from the zeroth order logic. These expressions are called constrained expressions. The associated…

A data tree is a finite tree whose every node carries a label from a finite alphabet and a datum from some infinite domain. We introduce a new model of automata over unranked data trees with a decidable emptiness problem. It is essentially…

Regular languages are closed under a wealth of formal language operators. Incorporating such operators in regular expressions leads to concise language specifications, but the transformation of such enhanced regular expressions to finite…

The aim of this paper is to design the polynomial construction of a finite recognizer for hairpin completions of regular languages. This is achieved by considering completions as new expression operators and by applying derivation…

We introduce a new technique for constructing a finite state deterministic automaton from a regular expression, based on the idea of marking a suitable set of positions inside the expression, intuitively representing the possible points…

This report is mostly written for educational purposes. It is meant as a self contained introduction to regular languages, regular expressions, and regular expression matching by using Brzozowski derivatives. As such it is mostly based on…

This paper presents a new solution to the containment problem for extended regular expressions that extends basic regular expressions with intersection and complement operators and consider regular expressions on infinite alphabets based on…

There exist several methods of computing an automaton recognizing the language denoted by a given regular expression: In the case of words, the position automaton P due to Glushkov, the c-continuation automaton C due to Champarnaud and…
