Internally Expandable Pushdown Automata and Their Computational Completeness
Meduna Alexandr, prof. RNDr., CSc., DIFS (FIT)
The present paper defines the notion of an internally expandable pushdown automaton (IEPDA). In essence, this automaton expands the topmost expandable non-input symbol in its pushdown list. This expanded symbol, however, may not occur on the very top of the pushdown; instead, it may appear deeper in the pushdown. The paper demonstrates that this notion represents an automaton-based counter part to the notion of a state grammar. Indeed, both are equally powerful. Therefore, internally expandable pushdown automata are computationally complete--that is, they are as powerful as Turing machines. In fact there are computationally complete IEPDAs with no more than four states
