Abstract

Multi-matching nested relation consists of a sequence of linearly ordered positions, call, internal, and return, augmented with one-to-one, one-to-n or n-to-one matching nested edges from call to return. After word encoding by introducing tagged letters, Multi-matching Nested Words (MNW) are obtained over a tagged alphabet. Then Multi-matching Nested Expressions (MNE) and Multi-matching Nested Traceable Automata (MNTA) are defined over MNWs. Further, a transformation method from MNTA to MNE is proposed. An extra state is introduced as the unique initial state. Three kinds of labelled arcs are created for different kinds of transitions. They are merged according to specific strategies and meanwhile the expressions are calculated. As a result, the corresponding MNE can be obtained.
