Abstract

We show that the deterministic ordered restarting automaton is polynomially related in size to the weight-reducing Hennie machine. Accordingly, it allows very compact representations of (some) regular languages. In addition, we investigate the descriptional complexity of the operations of reversal, complementation, intersection, and union for regular languages that are given through stateless deterministic ordered restarting automata.
