Abstract
We consider the representational state complexity of unranked tree automata. The bottom-up computation of an unranked tree automaton may be either deterministic or nondeterministic, and further variants arise depending on whether the horizontal string languages defining the transitions are represented by a DFA or an NFA. Also, we consider for unranked tree automata the alternative syntactic definition of determinism introduced by Cristau et al. (FCT'05, LNCS 3623, pp. 68-79). We establish upper and lower bounds for the state complexity of conversions between different types of unranked tree automata.
我们考虑了未排序树自动机的表征状态复杂性。未排序树自动机的自底向上计算可能是确定的,也可能是不确定的,根据定义转换的水平字符串语言是由DFA还是NFA表示,还会出现更多的变体。此外,我们还考虑了由Cristau等人(FCT'05, LNCS 3623, pp. 68-79)引入的非排序树自动机的另一种决定论语法定义。建立了不同类型的无秩树自动机之间转换的状态复杂度的上界和下界。
