Problem Solving in Automata, Languages, and Complexity

Download or read book Problem Solving in Automata, Languages, and Complexity written by Ding-Zhu Du and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-03-22 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automata and natural language theory are topics lying at the heart of computer science. Both are linked to computational complexity and together, these disciplines help define the parameters of what constitutes a computer, the structure of programs, which problems are solvable by computers, and a range of other crucial aspects of the practice of computer science. In this important volume, two respected authors/editors in the field offer accessible, practice-oriented coverage of these issues with an emphasis on refining core problem solving skills.
