TwoWayDeterminization

Definition

by wurtle · Oct 7, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

relStar(R) is the reflexive transitive closure of a relation R on a set, so every element is related to itself by the empty path. A TwoNFA over an alphabet Sigma with state type Q is a read-only two-way nondeterministic automaton given by an initial state, a set of accepting states, and a transition function sending each state and scanned symbol to a set of pairs (next state, move code). Scanned symbols are either one of two distinct endmarkers, Sum.inl 0 and Sum.inl 1, or a letter of Sigma, and move codes 0, 1, 2 mean left, stay, right. For an input word w, tapeSymbol places the left endmarker at position 0, the letters of w at positions 1 through |w|, and the right endmarker at position |w|+1, even when w is empty. A configuration is a pair of a state and a head position in {0,...,|w|+1}. The step relation holds from c to d when some move m has (next state of d, m) in the transition set of c's state and scanned symbol, and the new position equals the old position plus m minus 1, which keeps the head within the marked input. The language of the automaton is the set of words w for which some configuration with an accepting state is reachable, by a run of length zero or more, from the initial state at position 0 on the left endmarker. Deterministic means that every state and scanned symbol has at most one transition pair (a subsingleton set). For a set H, relationProduct of a list of relations on H is their composition via a right fold, with the empty list giving the identity relation, and sourceLanguage(H) is the set of lists of relations on H whose relationProduct is nonempty. These are definitions only, with no theorem about determinization asserted.
