Kuroda Normal Form
In formal language theory, a noncontracting grammar is in Kuroda normal form if all production rules are of the form: :''AB'' → ''CD'' or :''A'' → ''BC'' or :''A'' → ''B'' or :''A'' → ''a'' where A, B, C and D are nonterminal symbols and ''a'' is a terminal symbol. Some sources omit the ''A'' → ''B'' pattern. It is named after Sige-Yuki Kuroda, who originally called it a linear bounded grammar, a terminology that was also used by a few other authors thereafter. Every grammar in Kuroda normal form is noncontracting, and therefore, generates a context-sensitive language. Conversely, every noncontracting grammar that does not generate the empty string can be converted to Kuroda normal form. A straightforward technique attributed to György Révész transforms a grammar in Kuroda normal form to a context-sensitive grammar: ''AB'' → ''CD'' is replaced by four context-sensitive rules ''AB'' → ''AZ'', ''AZ'' → ''WZ'', ''WZ'' → ''WD'' and ''WD'' → ''CD''.
