A context-sensitive grammar with intersection is a type of formal grammar that combines the properties of both context-sensitive grammars and intersection grammars.
In a context-sensitive grammar, the production rules are of the form α → β, where α and β are strings of symbols, and the length of α is less than or equal to the length of β. This means that the production rules can rewrite a substring of the input string based on the context in which it appears.
In an intersection grammar, the production rules are of the form α → β, where α and β are strings of symbols, and the length of α is less than or equal to the length of β. Additionally, the intersection grammar has a set of intersection symbols that can be used to specify the context in which the production rules can be applied.
Therefore, a context-sensitive grammar with intersection combines these two concepts by allowing the production rules to rewrite a substring of the input string based on the context in which it appears, while also using intersection symbols to specify the context in which the production rules can be applied. This allows for a more flexible and powerful grammar formalism that can describe a wider range of languages and grammatical structures.
