Complexity of Suffix-Free Regular Languages
(Elsevier, 2017-11-01)We study various complexity properties of suffix-free regular languages. A sequence (Lk,Lk+1,…) of regular languages in some class, where n is the quotient complexity of Ln, is most complex if its languages Ln meet the ... -
Syntactic complexity of prefix-, suffix-, bifix-, and factor-free regular languages
(Elsevier, 2012-08-31)The syntactic complexity of a regular language is the cardinality of its syntactic semigroup. The syntactic complexity of a subclass of the class of regular languages is the maximal syntactic complexity of languages in ... -
Syntactic Complexity of Regular Ideals
(Springer, 2017-08-04)The state complexity of a regular language is the number of states in a minimal deterministic finite automaton accepting the language. The syntactic complexity of a regular language is the cardinality of its syntactic ... -
Syntactic Complexity of Suffix-Free Languages
(Elsevier, 2017-09-05)We solve an open problem concerning syntactic complexity: We prove that the cardinality of the syntactic semigroup of a suffix-free language with n left quotients (that is, with state complexity n) is at most (n−1)n−2+n−2 ...
