Nivat-Theorem and Logic for Weighted Pushdown Automata on Infinite Words

Authors: Manfred Droste, Sven Dziadek, and Werner Kuich

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 182, 40th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2020)

Abstract
Recently, weighted ω-pushdown automata have been introduced by Droste, Ésik, Kuich. This new type of automaton has access to a stack and models quantitative aspects of infinite words. Here, we consider a simple version of those automata. The simple ω-pushdown automata do not use ε-transitions and have a very restricted stack access. In previous work, we could show this automaton model to be expressively equivalent to context-free ω-languages in the unweighted case. Furthermore, semiring-weighted simple ω-pushdown automata recognize all ω-algebraic series. Here, we consider ω-valuation monoids as weight structures. As a first result, we prove that for this weight structure and for simple ω-pushdown automata, Büchi-acceptance and Muller-acceptance are expressively equivalent. In our second result, we derive a Nivat theorem for these automata stating that the behaviors of weighted ω-pushdown automata are precisely the projections of very simple ω-series restricted to ω-context-free languages. The third result is a weighted logic with the same expressive power as the new automaton model. To prove the equivalence, we use a similar result for weighted nested ω-word automata and apply our present result of expressive equivalence of Muller and Büchi acceptance.

Greibach Normal Form for omega-Algebraic Systems and Weighted Simple omega-Pushdown Automata

Authors: Manfred Droste, Sven Dziadek, and Werner Kuich

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 150, 39th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2019)

Abstract
In weighted automata theory, many classical results on formal languages have been extended into a quantitative setting. Here, we investigate weighted context-free languages of infinite words, a generalization of omega-context-free languages (Cohen, Gold 1977) and an extension of weighted context-free languages of finite words (Chomsky, Schützenberger 1963). As in the theory of formal grammars, these weighted languages, or omega-algebraic series, can be represented as solutions of mixed omega-algebraic systems of equations and by weighted omega-pushdown automata. In our first main result, we show that mixed omega-algebraic systems can be transformed into Greibach normal form. Our second main result proves that simple omega-reset pushdown automata recognize all omega-algebraic series that are a solution of an omega-algebraic system in Greibach normal form. Simple reset automata do not use epsilon-transitions and can change the stack only by at most one symbol. These results generalize fundamental properties of context-free languages to weighted languages.
