Original Abstract

Besides a derivation step and a communication step, a two-way PC grammar sytem can make a reduction step during which it reduces the right-hand side of a context-free production to its left hand-side. This paper proves that every non-unary recursively enumerable language is defined by a centralized two-way grammar system, \Gamma, with two metalinear componets in a very economical way. Indeed, \Gamma's master has only three nonterminals and one communication production; furthermore, it produces all sentential forms with no more than two occurances of nonterminals. In addition, during every computation, \Gamma makes a single communication step. Some variants of two-way PC grammar systems are discussed in the conclusion of the paper.
