[comp.theory] Query: cactus stacks

eerke@cs.kun.nl (Eerke Boiten) (11/22/90)

In a paper, I used the term "Cactus stack" in an informal sense.
The relation between a sequence and a stack is (IMO) that they are equal
except for the direction of access. Similarly, a cactus stack is equal to
a tree (with info in all nodes), except for the direction of access.

I was informed that several definitions of "cactus stacks" exist. Can
anyone provide me with references to such definitions?

Thanks in advance,
