Complementation and Inclusion of Weighted Automata on Infinite Trees: Revised Version

چکیده
Weighted automata can be seen as a natural generalization of finite state automata to more complex algebraic structures. The standard reasoning tasks for unweighted automata can also be generalized to the weighted setting. In this report we study the problems of intersection, complementation, and inclusion for weighted automata on infinite trees and show that they are not harder complexity-wise than reasoning with unweighted automata. We also present explicit methods for solving these problems optimally.

متن کاملRabin Measures
Rabin conditions are a general class of properties of infinite seAbstract-1 quences that encompass most known automata-theoretic acceptance conditions and notions of fairness. In this paper, we introduce a concept, called a Rabin measure, which in a precise sense expresses progress for each transition toward satisfaction of the Rabin condition. We show that these measures of progress are linked...
متن کاملQuantitative Fair Simulation Gamest
Simulation is an attractive alternative for language inclusion for automata as it is an under-approximation of language inclusion, but usually has much lower complexity. For non-deterministic automata, while language inclusion is PSPACE-complete, simulation can be computed in polynomial time. Simulation has also been extended in two orthogonal directions, namely, (1) fair simulation, for simula...
متن کاملThe complexity of computing the behaviour of lattice automata on infinite trees
Several logic-based decision problems have been shown to be reducible to the emptiness problem of automata. In a similar way, non-standard reasoning problems can be reduced to the computation of the behaviour of weighted automata. In this paper, we consider a variant of weighted Büchi automata working on (unlabeled) infinite trees, where the weights belong to a lattice. We analyse the complexit...
