Abstract

This paper contributes to the study of Freely Rewriting Re-starting Automata (FRR-automata) and Parallel Communicating Grammar Systems (PCGS) as formalizations of the linguistic method of analysis by reduction . For PCGS we study two complexity measures called generation complexity and distribution complexity , and we prove that a PCGS *** , for which both these complexity measures are bounded by constants, can be simulated by a freely rewriting restarting automaton of a very restricted form. From this characterization it follows that the language L (*** ) is semi-linear, that its characteristic analysis is of polynomial size, and that this analysis can be computed in polynomial time.
