: We define a weighted monadic second order logic for unranked trees and the concept of weighted unranked tree automata, and we investigate the expressive power of these two conce...
The problem of selecting nodes in unranked trees is the most basic querying problem for XML. We propose stepwise tree automata for querying unranked trees. Stepwise tree automata c...
Labeled unranked trees are used as a model of XML documents, and logical languages for them have been studied actively over the past several years. Such logics have different purpo...
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 ...
Several classical schemes exist to represent trees as strings over a fixed alphabet; these are useful in many algorithmic and conceptual studies. Our previous work has proposed a...
