Hiding Pebbles When the Output Alphabet Is Unary

Abstract
Pebble transducers are nested two-way transducers which can drop marks (named "pebbles") on their input word. Blind transducers have been introduced by Nguyên et al. as a subclass of pebble transducers, which can nest two-way transducers but cannot drop pebbles on their input.In this paper, we study the classes of functions computed by pebble and blind transducers, when the output alphabet is unary. Our main result shows how to decide if a function computed by a pebble transducer can be computed by a blind transducer. We also provide characterizations of these classes in terms of Cauchy and Hadamard products, in the spirit of rational series. Furthermore, pumping-like characterizations of the functions computed by blind transducers are given.
