Extended Regular Grammars

An extended right regular grammar is one in which all rules obey one of

  1. Ba - where B is a non-terminal in N and a is a terminal in Σ
  2. AwB - where A and B are in N and w is in Σ*
  3. A → ε - where A is in N and ε is the empty string.

Some authors call this type of grammar a right regular grammar (or right linear grammar) and the type above a strictly right regular grammar (or strictly right linear grammar).

An extended left regular grammar is one in which all rules obey one of

  1. Aa - where A is a non-terminal in N and a is a terminal in Σ
  2. ABw - where A and B are in N and w is in Σ*
  3. A → ε - where A is in N and ε is the empty string.

Some authors call this type of grammar a left regular grammar and the type above a strictly left regular grammar.

Famous quotes containing the words extended, regular and/or grammars:

    I have been accustomed to make excursions to the ponds within ten miles of Concord, but latterly I have extended my excursions to the seashore.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The solid and well-defined fir-tops, like sharp and regular spearheads, black against the sky, gave a peculiar, dark, and sombre look to the forest.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The violent illiteracies of the graffiti, the clenched silence of the adolescent, the nonsense cries from the stage-happening, are resolutely strategic. The insurgent and the freak-out have broken off discourse with a cultural system which they despise as a cruel, antiquated fraud. They will not bandy words with it. Accept, even momentarily, the conventions of literate linguistic exchange, and you are caught in the net of the old values, of the grammars that can condescend or enslave.
    George Steiner (b. 1929)
