Abstract

We compare, in terms of expressive power, two notions of automata recognizing finite N-free pomsets: branching automata by Lodaya and Weil [Lodaya and Weil, 1998; Lodaya and Weil, 1998; Lodaya and Weil, 2000; Lodaya and Weil, 2001] and pomset automata by Kappé, Brunet, Luttik, Silva and Zanasi [Kappé et al., 2018]. In the general case, they are equivalent. We also consider sub-classes of both kind of automata that we prove equivalent.
