On the Descriptional Complexity of Limited Propagating Lindenmayer Systems

We investigate the descriptional complexity of limited propagating Lindenmayer systems and their deterministic and tabled variants with respect to the number of rules and the number of symbols. 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.Comment: In Proceedings DCFS 2010, arXiv:1008.127
