A COMPARISON OF THE DESCRIPTIONAL COMPLEXITY OF CLASSES OF LIMITED LINDENMAYER SYSTEMS: PART I
We investigate the descriptional complexity of limited Lindenmayer systems and their deterministic and tabled variants with respect to the number of rules and the number of symbols. In this part, we confine ourselves to propagating limited Lindenmayer systems. We determine the decrease of complexity when the generative capacity is increased. For incomparable families, we give languages that can be described more efficiently in either of these families than in the other.
