A Time Hierarchy for Bounded One-Way Cellular Automata
نویسندگان
چکیده
Space-bounded one-way cellular language acceptors (OCA) are investigated. The only inclusion known to be strict in their time hierarchy from real-time to exponential-time is between real-time and linear-time! We show the surprising result that there exists an infinite hierarchy of properly included OCA-language families in that range. A generalization of a method in [10] is shown that provides a tool for proving that languages are not acceptable by OCAs with small time bounds. By such a language and a translation result the hierarchies are established.

متن کاملFast Cellular Automata with Restricted Inter-Cell Communication: Computational Capacity
A d-dimensional cellular automaton with sequential input mode is a d-dimensional grid of interconnected interacting finite automata. The distinguished automaton at the origin, the communication cell, is connected to the outside world and fetches the input sequentially. Often in the literature this model is referred to as iterative array. We investigate d-dimensional iterative arrays and one-dim...
متن کاملAlternating and Empty Alternating Auxiliary Stack Automata
We consider variants of alternating auxiliary stack automata and characterize their computational power when the number of alternations is bounded by a constant or unlimited. In this way we get new characterizations of NP, the polynomial hierarchy, PSpace, and bounded query classes like co-DP=NL〈NP[1]〉 and 2P=P , in a uniform framework. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کاملBounded Languages Meet Cellular Automata with Sparse Communication
Cellular automata are one-dimensional arrays of interconnected interacting finite automata. We investigate one of the weakest classes, the real-time one-way cellular automata, and impose an additional restriction on their inter-cell communication by bounding the number of allowed uses of the links between cells. Moreover, we consider the devices as acceptors for bounded languages in order to ex...
متن کاملCellular Automata with Sparse Communication
We investigate cellular automata whose internal inter-cell communication is bounded. The communication is quantitatively measured by the number of uses of the links between cells. Bounds on the sum of all communications of a computation as well as bounds on the maximal number of communications that may appear between each two cells are considered. It is shown that even the weakest non-trivial d...
