Emptiness Of Alternating Parity Tree Automata Using Games With Imperfect Information

چکیده
We focus on the emptiness problem for alternating parity tree automata. The usual technique to tackle this problem first removes alternation, going to non-determinism, and then checks emptiness by reduction to a two-player perfect-information parity game. In this note, we give an alternative roadmap to this problem by providing a direct reduction to the emptiness problem to solving an imperfect-information two-player parity game. Key-words: Alternating Tree Automata; Emptiness; Imperfect Information Games; Positional Determinacy Le problème du vide pour les automates d’arbres alternant à parité via des jeux à information imparfaite Résumé : Nous considérons le problème du test du vide pour les automates d’arbres alternants à parité. La méthode usuelle pour résoudre ce problème, commence par supprimer l’alternance ce qui conduit à un automate non-déterministe dont le vide est ensuite testé par réduction à un jeux de parité à information parfaite. Dans cette note, nous proposons une approche alternative pour ce problème, en proposant une réduction directe du problème du vide à un jeu de parité à information imparfaite.

Emptiness Of Alternating Tree Automata Using Games With Imperfect Information
We consider the emptiness problem for alternating tree automata, with two acceptance semantics: classical (all branches are accepted) and qualitative (almost all branches are accepted). For the classical semantics, the usual technique to tackle this problem relies on a Simulation Theorem which constructs an equivalent non-deterministic automaton from the original alternating one, and then check...
متن کاملFrom $μ$-Calculus to Alternating Tree Automata using Parity Games
μ-Calculus and automata on infinite trees are complementary ways of describing infinite tree languages. The correspondence between μ-Calculus and alternating tree automaton is used to solve the satisfiability and model checking problems by compiling the modal μ-Calculus formula into an alternating tree automata. Thus advocating an automaton model specially tailored for working with modal μ-Calc...

متن کاملThe Expressive Power of Epistemic $μ$-Calculus
While the μ-calculus notoriously subsumes Alternating-time Temporal Logic (ATL), we show that the epistemic μ-calculus does not subsume ATL with imperfect information (ATLi), for the synchronous perfect-recall semantics. To prove this we first establish that jumping parity tree automata (JTA), a recently introduced extension of alternating parity tree automata, are expressively equivalent to th...
