Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to show connections between iterated length-preserving rational transductions and linear space computations. Hence, we study the smallest family of transductions containing length-preserving rational transductions and closed under union, composition and iteration. We give several characterizations of this class using restricted classes of length-preserving rational transductions, by showing the connections with "context-sensitive transductions" and transductions associated with recognizable picture languages.
