Three different modes of shifting are considered, namely revolving to the left, revolving to the right, and circular-interchanging. We investigate the computational capacities of these three types of automata and their deterministic variants, comparing any of the six classes of automata with each other and with further classes of well-known automata. In particular, it is shown that nondeterminism is better than determinism, that is, for all three modes of shifting there is a language accepted by the nondeterministic model but not accepted by any deterministic automaton of the same type. Concerning the closure properties most of the deterministic language families studied are not closed under standard operations. For example, we show that the family of languages accepted by deterministic right-revolving finite automata is an anti-AFL which is not closed under reversal and intersection.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Bensch2008, author = {Bensch, Suna}, title = {Parallel systems as mildly context-sensitive grammar formalisms}, pages = {I, 103 S.}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @book{BenschBoldtBordihnetal.2004, author = {Bensch, Suna and Boldt, Oliver and Bordihn, Henning and J{\"u}rgensen, Helmut}, title = {Workshop "Formale Methoden der Linguistik" und "14.
