Abstract

The present paper explains how to reduce the size of scattered context grammars with respect to the number of both non-contextfree productions and nonterminals. It proves that every recursively enumerable language is generated by a six-nonterminal scattered context grammar with a single non-context-free production. Open problems are proposed.
