Abstract

The growing context-sensitive languages have been defined by Dahlhaus and Warmuth using strictly monotone grammars, and they have been characterized by Buntrock and Lor媒s by weight-increasing grammars. The acyclic context-sensitive languages are defined by context-sensitive grammars the contextfree kernels of which contain no cycles of chain rules, which is equivalent to being context-sensitive and weight-increasing at the same time. In this paper we show that these two language classes coincide, that is, for each weight-increasing grammar there exists an equivalent one that is weight-increasing and context-sensitive at the same time.
