Minimisation and Language Inclusion for Separating B\"uchi and Parity Automata

View through CrossRef
We provide simple proofs of the NC results for the universality, language inclusion, and equivalence problems of unambiguous finite automata, based on recent advances in model checking.We extend all complexity results to separating parity automata and to a restricted class of separating generalised B\"uchi automata, and introduce natural distance metrics for regular and $\omega$-regular languages that can be computed in NC for these classes of automata.As a side result, we show that we can also check universality of run-unambiguous automata---automata that have at most one run for every infinite word---in NC. Lastly, we also show that the minimisation problem is NP-complete for separating automata and NP-hard for unambiguous automata and run-unambiguous automata.
Title: Minimisation and Language Inclusion for Separating B\"uchi and Parity Automata
Description:
We provide simple proofs of the NC results for the universality, language inclusion, and equivalence problems of unambiguous finite automata, based on recent advances in model checking.
We extend all complexity results to separating parity automata and to a restricted class of separating generalised B\"uchi automata, and introduce natural distance metrics for regular and $\omega$-regular languages that can be computed in NC for these classes of automata.
As a side result, we show that we can also check universality of run-unambiguous automata---automata that have at most one run for every infinite word---in NC.
Lastly, we also show that the minimisation problem is NP-complete for separating automata and NP-hard for unambiguous automata and run-unambiguous automata.
