Title
Two topics concerning two-dimensional automata operating in parallel
Abstract
This paper deals with two topics concerning two-dimensional automata operating in parallel. We first investigate a relationship between the accepting powers of two-dimension al alternating finite automata (2-AFAs) and nondeterministic bottom-up pyramid cellular accep­ tors (NUPCAs), and show that II (diameter x log diameter) time is necessary for NUPCAs to simulate 2-AFAs. We then investigate space complexity of two-dimension al alternating Turing machines (2-ATMs) operating in small space, and show tlat if L(n) is a two-dimensionally space-comstructible function such that lim"__>coL(«)/loglogii > 1 and L(n) =s logn, and L'{ri) is a function satisfying L'(n) = o(L(/i)), then there exists a set accepted by some strongly L(n) space-bounded two-dimensional deterministic Turing machine, but not accepted by any weakly L'(n) space-bounded 2-ATM, and thus there exists a rich space hierarchy for weakly S(n) space-bounded 2-ATMs with loglogw ^ S(n) ^ logn.
