We study visibly pushdown automata (VPA) models for expressing and evaluating queries, expressed using MSO formulas, on words with a nesting structure (like XML documents). We deļ...
Abstract. We prove an n-exptime lower bound for the problem of deciding the winner in a reachability game on Higher Order Pushdown Automata (HPDA) of level n. This bound matches th...
We consider the model checking problem for probabilistic pushdown automata (pPDA) and properties expressible in various probabilistic logics. We start with properties that can be ...
Abstract. We propose a construction that augments the precomputation step of a regular tree pattern matching algorithm to include cost analysis. The matching device generated is a ...
