On Regular Expressions with Backreferences and Transducers

• Modern regular expression matching software features many extensions, some general, while some are very narrowly specified. Here we consider the generalization of adding a class of operators which can be described by, e.g. finite-state transducers. Combined with backreferences, they enable new classes of languages to be matched. The addition of finite-state transducers is shown to make membership testing undecidable. Following this result, we study the complexity of membership testing for various restricted cases of the model.
