Abstract:

Regulated rewriting is one of the classical topics in formal language theory, see [2, 3]. This paper starts the research of regulated rewriting in the framework of formal power series, cf. [6, 7, 9]. More specically, we model what is known as \free derivations" and \leftmost derivations of type 1 " within context-free grammars controlled by regular sets in the language case. We show that the class which is the formal power series analogue of controlled free derivations forms a semiring containing the semiring of algebraic series, which in turn is characterized by the formal power series analogue of controlled leftmost derivations of type 1. 1
