On Guidable Index of Tree Automata

Abstract

We study guidable parity automata over infinite trees introduced by Colcombet and Löding, which form an expressively complete subclass of all non-deterministic tree automata. We show that, for any non-deterministic automaton, an equivalent guidable automaton with the smallest possible index can be effectively found. Moreover, if an input automaton is of a special kind, i.e. it is deterministic or game automaton then a guidable automaton with an optimal index can be deterministic (respectively game) automaton as well. Recall that the problem whether an equivalent non-deterministic automaton with the smallest possible index can be effectively found is open, and a positive answer is known only in the case when an input automaton is a deterministic, or more generally, a game automaton.
