Germany, 2009.
It is shown that Hack's Conjecture on Petri nets implies that for every language generated by a matrix grammar (without appearance checking), there is a non-erasing matrix grammar generating a language of the same Parikh image. Is is also shown that in this case, the classes of multiset languages generated by arbitrary and monotone multiset grammars coincide.
