Abstract

A new variation of 0L systems, called quasi-deterministic 0L systems, is defined. A quasi-deterministic 0L system is a 0L system which generates a bounded set of words at every step, where “bounded” means that the cardinality of the set is always less than a given constant. The family of languages generated by quasi-deterministic 0L systems is properly included by the family of 0L languages and properly includes that of D0L languages. A 0L system is effectively determined whether it is quasi-deterministic or not.
