SynopsisThis carefully written introductory treatment covers all areas of mainstream formal language theory, including operations on languages, context-sensitive languages, automata, decidability, and syntax analysis, as well as the first complete discussion of derivation languages. It features numerous worked examples, problem exercises, and elegant mathematical proofs for almost all theorems. 1983 edition., This highly technical introduction to formal languages in computer science covers all areas of mainstream formal language theory, including such topics as operations on languages, context-sensitive languages, automata, decidability, syntax analysis, derivation languages, and more. Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, the treatment examines mathematical topics related to mathematical logic, set theory, and linguistics. All subjects are integral to the theory of computation.Numerous worked examples appear throughout the book, and end-of-chapter exercises enable readers to apply theory and methods to real-life problems. Elegant mathematical proofs are provided for almost all theorems.Reprint of the McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York, 1983 edition., Covers all areas, including operations on languages, context-sensitive languages, automata, decidability, syntax analysis, derivation languages, and more. Numerous worked examples, problem exercises, and elegant mathematical proofs. 1983 edition., Accessible introduction to mainstream formal language theory: operations on languages, context-sensitive languages, automata, syntax analysis, derivation languages, much more.
