Abstract

As it has been recently shown, Parikh images of languages of nondeterministic one-register automata are rational (but not semilinear in general), but it is still open if the property extends to all register automata. We identify a subclass of nondeterministic register automata, called hierarchical register automata (HRA), with the following two properties: every rational language is recognised by a HRA; and Parikh image of the language of every HRA is rational. In consequence, these two properties make HRA an automata-theoretic characterisation of languages of nondeterministic register automata with rational Parikh images.
