Abstract

The concept of finite index within the framework of context-free CD grammar systems is investigated with regard to descriptional complexity. It is proven that between the language classes generated by CD grammar systems of index m+1 and of index m there are savings concerning the size of the description not bounded by any recursive function. This is called a non-recursive trade-off. In addition, it is shown that there are non-recursive trade-offs between the classes of languages generated by CD grammar systems of index m and metalinear CD grammar systems of width m.
