automata_two_way (725B)
1 # Automata two way 2 3 [Automata] that can read the input [word] in both directions 4 5 It is an [open_problem] if two-way automata can be [automata_determinized] in [PTIME]. This is related to open problems in [complexity_theory], cf [kapoutsis2013two]: [sakoda_sipser_conjecture] 6 7 Can be converted back to [automata_one_way]. 8 - Elementary construction to get an [automata_nondeterministic] for the complement language in [vardi1989note] with exp(n) blowup 9 - Elementary construction to get an [automata_deterministic] for the language in [shepherdson1959reduction] with exp(n^2) blowup 10 11 Generalization: [Two_way_nondeterministic_pushdown_automaton] 12 13 Up: [automata] 14 15 See also: [2rpq] 16 17 Aliases: two-way automaton, two-way automata
