Abstract

The parallel complexity of computingcontext-freegrammargeneratingseries is investigated. It is known that this problem is in DIV, but in terms of nσ rather than n, where n is the index of the desired coefficient and σ is the grammar size. A new method is presented which is in DIV in terms of 22O(σ)·n. Evidence is provided that any direct application of elimination theory to this problem leads to a space and time resource factor that is nearly exponential in grammar size.
