Title
Production complexity of some operations on context-free languages
Abstract
We investigate context-free languages with respect to the measure Prod of descriptional complexity, which gives the minimal number of productions necessary to generate the language. In particular, we consider the behaviour of this measure with respect to operations. For given natural numbers c1,c2,…,cn and an n-ary operation τ on languages, we discuss the set gτ(c1,c2,…,cn) which is the range of Prod(τ(L1,L2,…, Ln)) where, for 1≤i≤n, Li is a context-free language with Prod(Li)=ci. The operations under discussion are union, concatenation, reversal, and Kleene closure.
