dc.description.abstract | Queues, stacks (pushdown stores), and tapes are storage models which have direct applications in compiler design and the general desig of algorithms. Whereas stacks (pushdown store or last-in-first-out storage) have been thoroughly investigated and are well understood, this is much less the case for queues (first-in-first-out storage). This paper contains a comprehensive study comparing queues to stacks and tapes. We address off-line machines with a one-way input, both deterministic and nondeterministic. The techniques relly on algorithmic information theory (Kolmogorov Complexity). | en_US |
