Automata on Infinite Trees with Equality and Disequality Constraints Between Siblings

Résumé

This article is inspired by two works from the early 90s. The first one is by Bogaert and Tison who considered a model of automata on finite ranked trees where one can check equality and disequality constraints between direct subtrees: they proved that this class of automata is closed under Boolean operations and that both the emptiness and the finiteness problem of the accepted language are decidable. The second one is by Niwinski who showed that one can compute the cardinality of any ω-regular language of infinite trees. Here, we generalise the model of automata of Tison and Bogaert to the setting of infinite binary trees. Roughly speaking we consider parity tree automata where some transitions are guarded and can be used only when the two direct sub-trees of the current node are equal/disequal. We show that the resulting class of languages encompasses the one of ω-regular languages of infinite trees while sharing most of its closure properties, in particular it is a Boolean algebra. Our main technical contribution is then to prove that it also enjoys a decidable cardinality problem. In particular, this implies the decidability of the emptiness problem.
