In the theory of formal languages of computer science, mathematics, and linguistics, a Dyck word is a balanced string of brackets. The set of Dyck words forms a Dyck language. The simplest, Dyck-1, uses just two matching brackets, e.g. ( and ). Dyck words and language are named after the mathematician Walther von Dyck.
The proof that the language of balanced (i.e., properly nested) parentheses is not regular follows the same idea. Given p {\displaystyle p} , there is a string of balanced parentheses that begins with more than p {\displaystyle p} left parentheses, so that y {\displaystyle y} will consist entirely of left parentheses.
In contrast to well-formed nested parentheses and square brackets in the previous section, there is no context-free grammar for generating all sequences of two different types of parentheses, each separately balanced disregarding the other, where the two types need not nest inside one another, for example: [ ( ] ) or
The bicyclic monoid is the syntactic monoid of the Dyck language (the language of balanced sets of parentheses). The free monoid on A {\displaystyle A} (where | A | > 1 {\displaystyle \left|A\right|>1} ) is the syntactic monoid of the language { w w R ∣ w ∈ A ∗ } {\displaystyle \{ww^{R}\mid w\in A^{*}\}} , where w R {\displaystyle w^{R ...
To avoid parentheses, it is assumed that the Kleene star has the highest priority followed by concatenation, then alternation. If there is no ambiguity, then parentheses may be omitted. For example, (ab)c can be written as abc, and a|(b(c*)) can be written as a|bc*. Many textbooks use the symbols ∪, +, or ∨ for alternation instead of the ...
The Village People’s lyricist and lead singer has hit out at the “false assumption” that the band’s biggest hit, “YMCA,” is a “gay anthem.”
In theoretical computer science and formal language theory, a regular language (also called a rational language) [1] [2] is a formal language that can be defined by a regular expression, in the strict sense in theoretical computer science (as opposed to many modern regular expression engines, which are augmented with features that allow the recognition of non-regular languages).
After restoring an old pipe organ in Nora, South Dakota, Mike Pedersen invited everyone in to sing carols. Now, it's the place to be at Christmas.
