Some Aspects of Random Context Grammars

Abstract

Two generalizations of the notion of a random context grammar are considered. The first one equips a random context grammar with a possibility of a (limited) counting of a number of occurrences of the symbol to be rewritten. The second one applies productions in parallel (as in L systems). It is proved that these two generalizations do not increase the language generating power of the class of random context grammars. Also some normal form theorems are proved.
