Abstract

The class of reducing transition languages introduced by Eickel, Paul, Bauer, and Samelson was shown by Morris to be a proper superclass of the simple precedence languages. In this paper this result is extended, showing that, in fact, the first class is equivalent to the class of deterministic context free languages.
