We observe that pushdown tree automata (PTAs) known in the literature cannot express combinations of branching and pushdown properties. This is because a PTA processes the children...
We study languages of nested trees--structures obtained by augmenting trees with sets of nested jump-edges. These graphs can naturally model branching behaviors of pushdown program...
Streaming validation and querying of XML documents are often based on automata for tree-like structures. We propose a new notion of streaming tree automata in order to unify the t...
Automata theory presents roughly three types of automata: finite automata, pushdown automata and Turing machines. The automata are treated as language acceptors, and the expressiv...

A well-known theorem in automata theory states that every context-free language is accepted by a pushdown automaton. We investigate this theorem in the setting of processes, using ...
