The pushdown automaton either accepts by final state, which means after reading its input the automaton reaches an accepting state (in ), or it accepts by empty stack ( ), which means after reading its input the automaton empties its stack.
A linear bounded automaton is a device which is more powerful than a pushdown automaton but less so than a Turing machine.
Computations a step of the pushdown automaton In order to formalize the semantics of the pushdown automaton a description of the current situation is introduced.
Conversely, it has been shown that every reversible cellular automaton can be emulated by a block cellular automaton. citation citation Totalistic A special class of cellular automata are totalistic cellular automata.
Intuitively, it cannot be recognized with a finite automaton, since a finite automaton has finite memory and it cannot remember the exact number of a's.
Note: LR parser stack usually stores just the LR(0) automaton states, as the grammar symbols may be derived from them (in the automaton, all input transitions to some state are marked with the same symbol, which is the symbol associated with this state).
Properties and uses seeAlso Equivalence to linear bounded automaton A formal language can be described by a context-sensitive grammar if and only if it is accepted by some linear bounded automaton (LBA).
