Abstract

We introduce a new variant of PC grammar systems, called PC grammar systems with terminal transmission, PCGSTT for short. We show that right-linear centralized PCGSTT have nice formal language theoretic properties: they are closed under gsm mappings (in particular, under intersection with regular sets and under homomorphisms) and union; a slight variant is, in addition, closed under concatenation and star; their power lies between that of n-parallel grammars introduced by Wood and that of matrix languages of index n, and their relation to equal matrix grammars of degree n is discussed. We show that membership for these language classes is complete for NL. In a second part of the paper, we discuss questions concerning grammatical inference of these systems. More precisely, we show that PCGSTT whose component grammars are terminal distinguishable right-linear, a notion introduced by Radhakrishnan and Nagaraja in [33,34], are identifiable in the limit if certain data communication information is supplied in addition.
