LOGCFL的描述复杂性方法

The descriptive complexity approach to LOGCFL

Clemens Lautemann, Pierre McKenzie, Thomas Schwentick, Heribert Vollmer

摘要:

基于已知的广义量词为基础的一阶表征LOGCFL的基础上,我们奠定了基础,更深入的调查。具体来说,我们研究LOGCFL的子类所产生的不同arity和嵌套的groupoidal量词。我们的工作扩展到NC 1及其子类的monoidal量词的详细理论。在没有BIT谓词的情况下,我们解决了主要问题:我们特别表明,没有一个最外面的一元群形量词与FO可以捕获所有的上下文无关的语言,我们得到了令人惊讶的结果,一个变种格雷巴赫的“最硬的上下文无关的语言”是LOGCFL-完全下量词免费的BIT免费的投影。然后,我们证明了FO与一元群体量词是严格更有表现力的BIT谓词比没有。考虑一个特殊的群体量词,我们证明了一阶逻辑与大多数对严格更有表现力比一阶与大多数个人。作为一个独立的兴趣的技术工具,我们定义了一个非周期性非确定性有限自动机的概念,并证明了FO翻译正是由单值非周期性非确定性有限换能器计算的映射。

英文摘要:

Building upon the known generalized-quantifier-based first-order characterization of LOGCFL, we lay the groundwork for a deeper investigation. Specifically, we examine subclasses of LOGCFL arising from varying the arity and nesting of groupoidal quantifiers. Our work extends the elaborate theory relating monoidal quantifiers to NC1 and its subclasses. In the absence of the BIT predicate, we resolve the main issues: we show in particular that no single outermost unary groupoidal quantifier with FO can capture all the context-free languages, and we obtain the surprising result that a variant of Greibach's ``hardest context-free language'' is LOGCFL-complete under quantifier-free BIT-free projections. We then prove that FO with unary groupoidal quantifiers is strictly more expressive with the BIT predicate than without. Considering a particular groupoidal quantifier, we prove that first-order logic with majority of pairs is strictly more expressive than first-order with majority of individuals. As a technical tool of independent interest, we define the notion of an aperiodic nondeterministic finite automaton and prove that FO translations are precisely the mappings computed by single-valued aperiodic nondeterministic finite transducers.
