Abstract

A scattered context grammar erases nonterminals in a generalized k-limited way in a successful derivation, where k is a positive integer, if in every sentential form of a derivation, each of its substrings consisting of nonterminals from which the grammar derives empty strings is of length k or less. This paper demonstrates that if a scattered context grammar generates its sentences in this way, it can be converted to a scattered context grammar without erasing productions; in general, however, this is not possible.
