Abstract. In the traditional Boolean setting of formal verification, alternating automata are the key to many algorithms and tools. In this setting, the correspondence between dis...
We describe a new technique for reducing the number of nodes and symbols in automata based on tries. The technique stems from some results on anti-dictionaries for data compression...

A word w is called synchronizing (recurrent, reset, directable) word of deterministic finite automaton (DFA) if w brings all states of the automaton to an unique state. ˇCerny co...
We explore the notion of alternating two-way tree automata modulo the theory of finitely many associative-commutative (AC) symbols. This was prompted by questions arising in cryp...
Quantitative generalizations of classical languages, which assign to each word a real number instead of a boolean value, have applications in modeling resource-constrained computat...
