Some basic questions are: How succinctly can a descriptional system represent objects (for example, encoded as formal languages) in comparison with other descriptional systems? What is the maximal size trade-off when changing from one system to another, and can it be achieved? %G English %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03325981/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-03325981/file/515831_1_En_1_Chapter.pdf %L hal-03325981 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-03325981 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-AICT-600
