Definable Operations On Weakly Recognizable Sets of Trees

Authors: Jacques Duparc, Alessandro Facchini, and Filip Murlak

Abstract

Alternating automata on infinite trees induce operations on languages which do not preserve natural equivalence relations, like having the same Mostowski--Rabin index, the same Borel rank, or being continuously reducible to each other (Wadge equivalence). In order to prevent this, alternation needs to be restricted to the choice of direction in the tree. For weak alternating automata with restricted alternation a small set of computable operations generates all definable operations, which implies that the Wadge degree of a given automaton is computable. The weak index and the Borel rank coincide, and are computable. An equivalent automaton of minimal index can be computed in polynomial time (if the productive states of the automaton are given).

The Wadge Hierarchy of Max-Regular Languages

Authors: Jérémie Cabessa, Jacques Duparc, Alessandro Facchini, and Filip Murlak

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 4, IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (2009)

Abstract

Recently, Miko{\l}aj Boja{\'n}czyk introduced a class of max-regular languages, an extension of regular languages of infinite words preserving manyof its usual properties. This new class can be seen as a different way of generalising the notion of regularity from finite to infinite words. This paper compares regular and max-regular languages in terms of topological complexity.It is proved that up to Wadge equivalence the classes coincide. Moreover, when restricted to $\mathbf{\Delta}^0_2$-languages, the classes contain virtually the same languages. On the other hand, separating examples of arbitrary complexity exceeding $\mathbf{\Delta}^0_2$ are constructed.
