Deterministic Context-Free Languages are Closed Under Complementation (Hopcroft
and Ullman)
Kaan Taskin and Tobias Nipkow
A deterministic context-free language (DCFL) is a language accepted by a
deterministic pushdown automaton (DPDA). This entry proves that the
deterministic context-free languages are closed under complementation. The proof
follows the one in the book by Hopcroft and Ullman (1979).
