We study the existence of automatic presentations for various algebraic structures. An automatic presentation of a structure is a description of the universe of the structure by a...
We define regular expressions for unranked trees (actually, ordered sequences of unranked trees, called forests). These are compared to existing regular expressions for trees. On ...
We propose a new, logical, approach to the decidability problem for the Straubing and Brzozowski hierarchies based on the preservation theorems from model theory, on a theorem of ...
PA is the process algebra allowing non-determinism, sequential and parallel compositions, and recursion. We suggest viewing PA-processes as trees, and using treeautomata technique...
We show the decidability of model checking PA-processes against several first-order logics based upon the reachability predicate. The main tool for this result is the recognizabil...
