Scope-Bounded Pushdown Languages

We study the formal language theory of multistack pushdown automata (Mpa) restricted to computations where a symbol can be popped from a stack S only if it was pushed within a bounded number of contexts of S (scoped Mpa). We show that scoped Mpa are indeed a robust model of computation, by focusing on the corresponding theory of visibly Mpa (Mvpa). We prove the equivalence of the deterministic ...
