Comparative complexity of grammar forms
Seymour Ginsburg, Nancy Ann Lynch · 1975
The definition of “grammar form” introduced in [CG] makes it possible to state and prove results about various types of grammars in a uniform way. Among questions naturally formalizable in this framework are many about the complexity or efficiency of grammars of different kinds. Grammar forms provide a reasonable way of considering the totality of other forms we might use, and so answering the question with both upper and lower bound results.
