Abstract

We examine the behaviors of various models of k-limited automata, which naturally extend Hibbard’s [Inf. Control, vol. 11, pp. 196–238, 1967] scan limited automata, each of which is a linear-bounded automaton satisfying the k-limitedness requirement that the content of each tape cell should be modified only during the first k visits of a tape head. One central model is k-limited probabilistic automaton (k-lpa), which accepts an input exactly when its accepting states are reachable from its initial state with probability more than 1/2. We further study the behaviors of one-sided-error and bounded-error variants of such k-lpa’s as well as deterministic and nondeterministic models. We discuss fundamental properties of those machine models and obtain inclusions and separations among language families induced by these machine models. In due course, we study special features—the blank skipping property and the closure under reversal—which are keys to the robustness of k-lpa’s.

Fußnoten
1
Hibbard’s original formulation of “k-limited automaton” is equipped with a semi-infinite tape that stretches only to the right with no endmarker but is filled with the blank symbols outside of an input string. Our definition in this paper is different from Hibbard’s but it is rather similar to Pighizzini and Pisoni’s [10].
 
2
An output tape is write only if its cells are initially blank and its tape head moves to the right whenever it writes a non-blank symbol.
