A Completeness Property of Wilke's Tree Algebras
[chapter]
2003
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper a completeness property of these operations is studied. ...
Wilke's tree algebra formalism for characterizing families of tree languages is based on six operations involving letters, binary trees and binary contexts. ...
Acknowledgement I am much grateful to professor Magnus Steinby for reading drafts of this paper and for his fruitful ideas, comments and support. ...

Tree algebra of sofic tree languages

For this goal, we define a tree algebra which is finer than the classical syntactic tree algebra based on contexts. ...
Each class corresponds to a class of subshifts of trees which is invariant by conjugacy. ...
This congruence is a three-sorted algebra (labels, trees, contexts) called Wilke's tree algebra (see [21] ). ...

Journal of Symbolic Logic (JSL)
Third, we establish the MSO-definability of the set of yields induced by an MSO-definable set of trees, confirming a conjecture posed by Bruyère, Carton, and Sénizergues. ...

Eilenberg Theorems for Free
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
Eilenberg-type correspondences, relating varieties of languages (e.g. of finite words, infinite words, or trees) to pseudovarieties of finite algebras, form the backbone of algebraic language theory. ...
We demonstrate that they all arise from the same recipe: one models languages and the algebras recognizing them by monads on an algebraic category, and applies a Stone-type duality. ...
The algebraic theory corresponding to binary trees is given by Wilke's tree algebras [47] . ...

Synchronous Parallel Database Transformations
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
For the characterisation of XML database transformations the natural first step is therefore to define the appropriate tree-based backgrounds, which draw on hereditarily finite trees, tree algebra operations ...
This defines a computational model for XML database transformation using a variant of Abstract State Machines. ...
In terms of manipulating tree structures, our tree algebra is powerful enough to express operations provided by the forest algebra [Bojanczyk and Walukiewicz, 2007] and Wilke's tree algebra [Wilke ...

Factorization forests for infinite words and applications to countable scattered linear orderings
2010
Theoretical Computer Science
The theorem of factorization forests of Imre Simon shows the existence of nested factorizations -à la Ramsey -for finite words. ...
We use this last variant in a simplified proof of the translation of recognizable languages over countable scattered linear orderings to languages accepted by automata. ...
I am also grateful to the two anonymous referees for their numerous comments which greatly improved the quality of this work. ...

A SURVEY ON SMALL FRAGMENTS OF FIRST-ORDER LOGIC OVER FINITE WORDS
2008
International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science
We use the algebraic approach to show decidability of expressibility within these fragments. As a byproduct, we survey several characterizations of the respective fragments. ...
We give complete proofs for all characterizations and we provide all necessary background. Some of the proofs seem to be new and simpler than those which can be found elsewhere. ...
We thank the referee for his very detailed report which gave us many helpful suggestions and for pointing out some inaccuracies in a preliminary version of this paper. ...

How can one extend XPath to get a first-order complete language? Marx has shown that Conditional XPath -an extension of XPath with an "Until" operator -is first order complete. ...

Each of the properties that we consider is, in a similar way, associated with one of the following special kinds of subset of a tree model: singletons, finite sets, finitely branching subtrees, noetherian ...
More in particular, we discuss a number of semantic properties pertaining to formulas of the modal μ-calculus. ...

Our proof makes extensive use of structures that we call syntax graphs that combine the ease-of-use of syntax trees of formulas with the flexibility and succinctness of automata. ...
Furthermore, game logic constitutes a very general dynamic logic that makes very few assumptions on the algebraic properties of the modal operators. ...
