Developments in Language Theory

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Developments in Language Theory, DLT 2015, held in Liverpool, UK. The 31 papers presented together with 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 54 submissions. Its scope is very general and includes, among others, the following topics and areas: combinatorial and algebraic properties of words and languages, grammars, acceptors and transducers for strings, trees, graphs, arrays, algebraic theories for automata and languages, codes, efficient text algorithms, symbolic dynamics, decision problems, relationships to complexity theory and logic, picture description and analysis, polyominoes and bidimensional patterns, cryptography, concurrency, cellular automata, bio-inspired computing, and quantum computing.
