Book excerpt: Jumping Computation: Updating Automata and Grammars for Discontinuous Information Processing is primarily a theoretically oriented treatment of jumping automata and grammars, covering all essential theoretical topics concerning them, including their power, properties, and transformations. From a practical viewpoint, it describes various concepts, methods, algorithms, techniques, case studies and applications based upon these automata and grammars. In today’s computerized world, the scientific development and study of computation, referred to as the theory of computation, plays a crucial role. One important branch, language theory, investigates how to define and study languages and their models, which formalize algorithms according to which their computation is executed. These language-defining models are classified into two basic categories: automata, which define languages by recognizing their words, and grammars, which generate them. Introduced many decades ago, these rules reflect classical sequential computation. However, today’s computational methods frequently process information in a fundamentally different way, frequently “jumping” over large portions of the information as a whole. This book adapts classical models to formalize and study this kind of computation properly. Simply put, during their language-defining process, these adapted versions, called jumping automata and grammars, jump across the words they work on. The book selects important models and summarizes key results about them in a compact and uniform way. It relates each model to a particular form of modern computation, such as sequential, semi-parallel and totally parallel computation, and explains how the model in question properly reflects and formalizes the corresponding form of computation, thus allowing us to obtain a systematized body of mathematically precise knowledge concerning the jumping computation. The book pays a special attention to power, closure properties, and transformations, and also describes many algorithms that modify jumping grammars and automata so they satisfy some prescribed properties without changing the defined language. The book will be of great interest to anyone researching the theory of computation across the fields of computer science, mathematics, engineering, logic and linguistics.
Download or read book New Results on Semilinear Sets and Variants of Jumping Finite Automata written by Simon Beier and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In formal language theory, the Parikh-image describes the absolute frequencies of symbols in words of a given language. The Parikh-images of regular languages are the same as the ones of context-free languages. These kinds of sets are called semilinear. Another algebraically defined class of sets has played an important role since the early days of formal language theory: recognizable subsets of monoids are a generalization of regular languages. A set is recognizable if and only if its syntactic monoid is finite. The first part of this monograph gives new results on semilinear sets. The descriptional complexity of operations is investigated. Semirecognizable subsets of monoids are introduced. Semirecognizability demands that the projection of the subset to its syntactic monoid is finite. The semirecognizable subsets of finitely generated free commutative monoids, which form a proper subset of the semilinear sets, are studied. Connections to rational cones enable the use of geometric methods. Jumping finite automata are a model for discontinuous information processing that has attracted interest for some years. Their operational state complexity and a variant called right one-way jumping finite automata are explored in the second part. We show that a permutation closed language is accepted by this variant if and only if it is semirecognizable. Results from the first part are used to get a better insight into these devices.

Download or read book Evolutionary Computation with Biogeography based Optimization written by Haiping Ma and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-01-19 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolutionary computation algorithms are employed to minimize functions with large number of variables. Biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is an optimization algorithm that is based on the science of biogeography, which researches the migration patterns of species. These migration paradigms provide the main logic behind BBO. Due to the cross-disciplinary nature of the optimization problems, there is a need to develop multiple approaches to tackle them and to study the theoretical reasoning behind their performance. This book explains the mathematical model of BBO algorithm and its variants created to cope with continuous domain problems (with and without constraints) and combinatorial problems.
