Two dimensional fuzzy regular languages.

A two dimensional string is called a picture and is defined as a rectangular array of symbols taken from a finite alphabet. A two dimensional language or a picture language is a set of pictures. In this paper, a theoretical study is reported for two dimensional fuzzy regular languages generated by two dimensional fuzzy regular grammars and the two dimensional fuzzy finite state automata for the two dimensional fuzzy regular languages. We can construct the two dimensional fuzzy finite state automaton from the given two dimensional fuzzy regular grammar and vice versa. Further, we discuss some of the closure properties of two dimensional fuzzy regular languages with examples. We discuss the applications of two dimensional fuzzy regular language with respect to kolam patterns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
