Formal Language Theory

Research Description:

At the core of our research questions (e.g., on data management or internet standarization) we often find fundamental questions about formal language theory. We encounter questions about regular languages, finite automata, or tree automata. 


Selected topics:

  • Tree Languages and Tree Automata
  • Regular Expressions
  • Determinism versus Nondeterminism
  • Separability and Language Decomposition Problems
  • Enumeration Problems
