Summary
A proof is given that the tuple language
has the following properties: (i) non-tuple grammar withn<[(3m−1)/2] 2 can generateL m (ii)L m is an inherently ambiguousn-tuple language forn=[(3m−1)/2] (iii)L m is an unambiguousn-tuple language forn>[(3m−1)/2].
Zusammenfassung
Es wird bewiesen, daß die Tupelsprache
die folgende Eigenschaften besitzt: (i) es gibt keinen-Tupelgrammatik mitn<[(3m−1)/2], dieL m erzeugt; (ii)L m ist eine eigentlich mehrdeutigen-Tupelsprache fürn=[(3m−1)/2]; (iii)L m ist eine eindeutigen-Tupelsprache fürn>[(3m−1)/2].
