A New Look at LR (k)

Dr. William McKeeman

February 20, 2004
11 a.m. - 12 noon
Fuller Labs 320

Abstract

Knuth offered LR (k) as an algorithm for parsing computer languages (Information and Control, November 1965). Most work since then has concentrated on parser usability and space/time optimization. This talk presents LR (k) from first principles, teasing apart some complex formalisms applied by Knuth into simpler components.

Assumptions: The audience is comfortable with mathematical notation and computer programming.
