Abstract
Conjunctive grammars are context-free grammars with an explicit conjunction operation in the formalism of rules; Boolean grammars are further equipped with an explicit negation. The paper briefly reviews these grammars and proposes 9 most interesting and important research problems for them. An award of $240 Canadian is offered for the first correct solution of each of these problems.Download full text
