Nested Sibling Tree Automata

Françoise Gire, Jean-Marc Talbot (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

In the XML standard, data are represented as unranked labeled ordered trees. Regular unranked tree automata provide a useful formalism for the validation of schemas enforcing regular structural constraints on XML documents. However some concrete application contexts need the expression of more general constraints than the regular ones. In this paper we propose a new framework in which context-free style structural constraints can be expressed and validated. This framework is characterized...

Choice functions and well-orderings over the infinite binary tree

Arnaud Carayol, Christof Löding, Damian Niwinski, Igor Walukiewicz (2010)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We give a new proof showing that it is not possible to define in monadic second-order logic (MSO) a choice function on the infinite binary tree. This result was first obtained by Gurevich and Shelah using set theoretical arguments. Our proof is much simpler and only uses basic tools from automata theory. We show how the result can be used to prove the inherent ambiguity of languages of infinite trees. In a second part we strengthen the result of the non-existence of an MSO-definable...

Learning tree languages from text

Henning Fernau (2007)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

We study the problem of learning regular tree languages from text. We show that the framework of function distinguishability, as introduced by the author in [ (2003) 1679–1711], can be generalized from the case of string languages towards tree languages. This provides a large source of identifiable classes of regular tree languages. Each of these classes can be characterized in various ways. Moreover, we present a generic inference algorithm with polynomial update...

Deciding inclusion of set constants over infinite non-strict data structures

Manfred Schmidt-Schauss, David Sabel, Marko Schütz (2007)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Various static analyses of functional programming languages that permit infinite data structures make use of set constants like , , and , denoting all terms, all lists not eventually ending in Nil, and all non-terminating programs, respectively. We use a set language that permits union, constructors and recursive definition of set constants with a greatest fixpoint semantics in the set of all, also infinite, computable trees, where all term constructors are non-strict. ...
