Title
Reversible Shrinking Two-Pushdown Automata.
Abstract
The deterministic shrinking two-pushdown automata characterize the deterministic growing context-sensitive languages, known to be the Church-Rosser languages. Here, we initiate the investigation of reversible two-pushdown automata, RTPDAs, in particular the shrinking variant. We show that as with the deterministic version, shrinking and length-reducing RTPDAs are equivalent. We then give a separation of the deterministic and reversible shrinking two-pushdown automata, and prove that these are incomparable with the (deterministic) context-free languages. We further show that the properties of emptiness, (in) finiteness, universality, inclusion, equivalence, regularity, and context-freeness are not even semi-decidable for shrinking RTPDAs.
