Tree Automata Make Ordinal Theory Easy

pdf-format:
Document 1.pdf (135 KB)

Abstract

We give a new simple proof of the decidability of the First Order Theory of $(w^{w^i},+)$ and the Monadic Second Order Theory of $(w^i,<)$, improving the complexity in both cases. Our algorithm is based on tree automata and a new representation of (sets of) ordinals by (infinite) trees.
