چکیده

Simpler proofs that DAuxPDA-TIME(polynomial) equals LOGDCFL and that SAC 1 equals LOGCFL are given which avoid Sudborough's multi-head au-tomata Sud78]. The rst characterization of LOGDCFL in terms of polynomial proof-tree-size is obtained, using circuits built from the multiplex select gates of FLR96]. The classes L and NC 1 are also characterized by polynomial size such circuits: \self-similar" logarithmic depth captures L, and bounded width captures NC 1 .

Upper Bounds on Recognition of a Hierarchy of Non-Context-Free Languages

Control grammars, a generalization of context-free grammars recently introduced for use in natural language recognition, are investigated. In particular, it is shown that a hierarchy of non-context-free languages, called the Control Language Hierarchy (CLH), generated by control grammars can be recognized in polynomial time. Previously, the best known upper bound was exponential time. It is als...

Output-Conductance Transition-Free Method for Improving Radio-Frequency Linearity of SOI MOSFET Circuits

In this article, a novel concept is introduced to improve the radio frequency (RF) linearity of partially-depleted (PD) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MOSFET circuits. The transition due to the non-zero body resistance (RBody) in output conductance of PD SOI devices leads to linearity degradation. A relation for RBody is defined to eliminate the transition and a method to obtain transition-free c...

On the Circuit Complexity of Random Generation Problems for Regular and Context-Free Languages

We study the circuit complexity of generating at random a word of length n from a given language under uniform distribution. We prove that, for every language accepted in polynomial time by 1-NAuxPDA of polynomially bounded ambiguity, the problem is solvable by a logspace-uniform family of probabilistic boolean circuits of polynomial size and O(log2 n) depth. Using a suitable notion of reducibi...

Facial Circuits of Planar Graphs and Context-Free Languages

Abstrac t . It is known that a language is context-free iff it is the set of borders of the trees of recognizable set, where the border of a (labelled) tree is the word consisting of its leaf labels read from left to right. We give a generalization of this result in terms of planar graphs of bounded tree-width. Here the border of a planar graph is the word of edge labels of a path which borders...

Uniform Characterizations of Non-Uniform Complexity Measures

Non-uniform complexity measures originated in automata and formal languages theory are characterized in terms of well-known uniform complexity classes. The initial index of languages is introduced by means of several computational models. It is shown to be closely related to context-free cost, boolean circuits, straight line programs, and Turing machines with sparse oracles and time or space bo...
