β¦ Synopsis
Let A be a finite, totally ordered alphabet, and let P be the lexicographic ordering on A*. Let X be a subset of A*. The language of minimal words of X is the subset of X composed of the lexicographically minimal word of X for each length:
The aim of this paper is to prove that if L is a context-free language, then the language Min(L) context-free. ] 1997 Academic Press
1. NOTATIONS
A context-free grammar G=(V, S, P) over an alphabet A is composed of finite alphabet V of variables or nonterminals disjoint from A, a disinguished nonterminal S called the axiom and a finite set P/V_(V _ A)* of productions or derivation rules. Letters in A are called terminal letters.

## Abstract Interference is a critical problem for memory systems and a primary cause of retrieval failure. One strategy for minimizing interference is to associate the items to be remembered with the context in which they were learned. For example, human subjects who learn two lists of words in se
Besides this introduction the paper contains four sections. I n section 1 we describe three equivalent axiomatizations of NLP. the third one playing important role in what follows. I n section 2 we deal with a system AC: (the Ajdukiewicz calculus with product) and prove the equivalence of AC-grammar
