Abstract:We consider the notion of cover complexity of finite languages on three different levels of abstraction. For arbitrary cover complexity measures, we give a characterisation of the situations in which they collapse to a bounded complexity measure. Moreover, we show for a restricted class of context-free grammars that its grammatical cover complexity measure w.r.t. a finite language L is unbounded and that the cover complexity of L can be computed from the exact complexities of a finite number of covers L ⊇ L.
