Abstract

The theory of leaf language classes is a fruitful field of research which has been developed since the beginning of the nineties. The leaf language model, in which one language (or a pair of languages) defines a class of languages, allows a uniform definition and treatment of many complexity classes. The results of this area give new insights into the structure of complexity classes and their relation to other fields of Theoretical Computer Science.
