Alternating Nonzero Automata

چکیده
We introduce a new class of automata on infinite trees called alternating nonzero automata, which extends the class of non-deterministic nonzero automata. We reduce the emptiness problem for alternating nonzero automata to the same problem for non-deterministic ones, which implies decidability. We obtain as a corollary algorithms for the satisfiability of a probabilistic temporal logic extending both CTL* and the qualitative fragment of pCTL*.

Alternating Regular Tree Grammars in the Framework of Lattice-Valued Logic
In this paper, two different ways of introducing alternation for lattice-valued (referred to as {L}valued) regular tree grammars and {L}valued top-down tree automata are compared. One is the way which defines the alternating regular tree grammar, i.e., alternation is governed by the non-terminals of the grammar and the other is the way which combines state with alternation. The first way is ta...
متن کاملAlternation Removal in Büchi Automata
Alternating automata play a key role in the automata-theoretic approach to specification, verification, and synthesis of reactive systems. Many algorithms on alternating automata, and in particular, their nonemptiness test, involve removal of alternation: a translation of the alternating automaton to an equivalent nondeterministic one. For alternating Büchi automata, the best known translation ...
متن کاملRelationship between Alternating omega-Automata and Symbolically Represented Nondeterministic omega-Automata
There is a well known relationship between alternating automata on finite words and symbolically represented nondeterministic automata on finite words. This relationship is of practical relevance because it allows to combine the advantages of alternating and symbolically represented nondeterministic automata on finite words. However, for infinite words the situation is unclear. Therefore, this ...
متن کاملDeeper Connections Between LTL and Alternating Automata
It is known that Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) has the same expressive power as alternating 1-weak automata (A1W automata, also called alternating linear automata or very weak alternating automata). A translation of LTL formulae into a language equivalent A1W automata has been introduced in [MSS88]. The inverse translation has been developed independently in [Roh97] and [LT00]. We improve the lat...
متن کاملEmptiness of Zero Automata Is Decidable
Zero automata are a probabilistic extension of parity automata on infinite trees. The satisfiability of a certain probabilistic variant of mso, called tmso + zero, reduces to the emptiness problem for zero automata. We introduce a variant of zero automata called nonzero automata. We prove that for every zero automaton there is an equivalent nonzero automaton of quadratic size and the emptiness ...
