The paper presents two novel theorems addressing open problems in stochastic Lindenmayer-system inference. It focuses on constructing an optimal stochastic L-system generating a given sequence of strings. The first theorem describes a method to create a stochastic L-system with the maximum probability of producing a single derivation for a given sequence. The second theorem determines the stochastic L-systems with the highest probability of producing multiple possible derivations for a given sequence. An algorithm is introduced to infer an optimal stochastic L-system from a given sequence, incorporating advanced optimization techniques like interior point methods. This enables using stochastic L-systems as models for machine learning with positive data training.

The paper solves two big problems in computer science. It makes it possible to create the best possible way to generate a set of strings using an “L-system”. The first part shows how to make an L-system that is very likely to produce one specific string. The second part finds the best L-systems that can produce many different strings for a given sequence. A new algorithm is developed to find the best L-system from a given sequence. This makes it possible to use L-systems in machine learning with only positive data.
