Abstract

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 toolf or proving that languages are not acceptable by OCAs with small time bounds. By such a language and a translation result the hierarchies are established.
