Computing the Rabin index of a parity automaton
Computing the Rabin Index of a Parity Automaton
The Rabin index of a rational language of infinite words given by a parity automaton with states is computable in time ( ) where is the cardinality of the alphabet. The number of values used by a parity acceptance condition is always greater than the Rabin index and conversely, the acceptance condition of a parity automaton can always be replaced by an equivalent acceptance condition whose number of used values is exactly the Rabin index. This new acceptance...
