Talk:Unrestricted grammar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I believe the following is incorrect. Can someone confirm?

P is a set of production rules of the form \alpha \to \beta where α and β are in N \cup \Sigma

I say this because in this snippet:

If β appears at some position on the second tape, replace β by γ at that point, possibly shifting the symbols on the tape left or right depending on the relative lengths of β and γ (e.g. if β is longer than γ, shift the tape symbols left).

... it looks like α and β are sequences, so not in N \cup \Sigma, but in the set of all finite sequences using letters from the alphabet N \cup \Sigma (I'm not sure the best way to notate this, maybe something from Sequence_space)

Yes, you're right; someone must have written without really thinking. Ruakh 13:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
