Residual Finite Tree Automata
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tree automata based algorithms are essential in many fields in computer science such as verification, specification, program analysis. They become also essential for databases with the development of standards such as XML. In this paper, we define new classes of non deterministic tree automata, namely residual finite tree automata (RFTA). In the bottom-up case, we obtain a new characterization of regular tree languages. In the top-down case, we obtain a subclass of regular tree languages which contains the class of languages recognized by deterministic top-down tree automata. RFTA also come with the property of existence of canonical non deterministic tree automata.

Multidimensional fuzzy finite tree automata
This paper introduces the notion of multidimensional fuzzy finite tree automata (MFFTA) and investigates its closure properties from the area of automata and language theory. MFFTA are a superclass of fuzzy tree automata whose behavior is generalized to adapt to multidimensional fuzzy sets. An MFFTA recognizes a multidimensional fuzzy tree language which is a regular tree language so that for e...
متن کاملNEW DIRECTION IN FUZZY TREE AUTOMATA
In this paper, our focus of attention is the proper propagationof fuzzy degrees in determinization of $Nondeterministic$ $Fuzzy$$Finite$ $Tree$ $Automata$ (NFFTA). Initially, two determinizationmethods are introduced which have some limitations (one inbehavior preserving and other in type of fuzzy operations). Inorder to eliminate these limitations and increasing theefficiency of FFTA, we defin...
متن کاملOne-shot learning and the polynomial characterizability barrier
We survey two existing algorithms for the inference of finite-state tree automata from membership queries and a finite positive sample or equivalence queries, and we suggest a correction for one of them which we deem necessary in order to ensure its termination. We present two algorithms for the same two settings when the underlying description is not a deterministic but a residual canonical fi...
متن کاملThe correctness of a generalized disambiguation algorithm for finite automata
We present a generalized disambiguation algorithm of finite state automata, and show a proof of its correctness. This algorithm can remove ambiguities of finite state and tree automata. Our proposed algorithm can make finite state and tree automata more efficient to use in many applications.
متن کاملSimulations and Antichains for Efficient Handling of Finite Automata
This thesis is focused on techniques for finite automata and their use in practice, with the main emphasis on nondeterministic tree automata. This concerns namely techniques for size reduction and language inclusion testing, which are two problems that are crucial for many applications of tree automata. For size reduction of tree automata, we adapt the simulation quotient technique that is well...
