It is not im- mediately obvious that the alternating automata which we define are equivalent to ordinary nondeterministic automata on infinite trees. ...
How unprovable is Rabin's decidability theorem?
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
We study the strength of set-theoretic axioms needed to prove Rabin's theorem on the decidability of the MSO theory of the infinite binary tree. ...
the infinite binary tree, positional determinacy of parity games and determinacy of Bool(Σ^0_2) Gale-Stewart games are all equivalent. ...
We first focus our attention on the complementation theorem for automata on infinite trees, which is the key ingredient in typical proofs of Rabin's theorem and is often simply considered an alternative ...

Facets of Synthesis: Revisiting Church's Problem
[chapter]
2009
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We outline the methodology developed in more recent years for solving such games and address related automata theoretic problems that are still unresolved. ...
We recall the fundamental questions raised more than 50 years ago in "Church's Synthesis Problem" that led to the foundation of the algorithmic theory of infinite games. ...
Tree Automata A very strong decidability result of logic is Rabin's Tree Theorem, saying that the MSO-theory of the infinite binary tree is decidable [21] . ...

Progress measures, immediate determinacy, and a subset construction for tree automata
1994
Annals of Pure and Applied Logic
To do this we show that for certain infinite games based on tree automata, an immediate determinacy property holds for the player who is trying to win according to a Rabin acceptance condition. ...
Together, these ingredients and the determinacy of Bore1 games yield a straightforward recipe for complementing tree automata. ...

An Optimal Value Iteration Algorithm for Parity Games
[article]

In this paper, we further analyse the second algorithm due to Jurdzi\'nski and Lazi\'c and called the succinct progress measure algorithm. ...
This suggests that the succinct progress measure algorithm of Jurdzi\'nski and Lazi\'c is in this framework optimal, and that the polynomial time algorithm for parity games is hiding someplace else. ...

Trading Bounds for Memory in Games with Counters
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The games we consider are played by two players, Eve and Adam, over potentially infinite graphs called arenas 4 . ...
We investigate the existence of a trade-off between the size of the memory and the bound achieved on the counters, which has been conjectured by Colcombet and Löding. ...
The unbounded number of fruitful discussions we had with Thomas Colcombet and Miko laj Bojańczyk made this paper possible. ...

Theoretical Computer Science
In this paper we show that the function associated with any closed or nonclosed term of the /I-calculus on trees can be represented by a recognizable set of trees whose nodes arc labeled by letters and ...
Rabin's complementation lemma is an immediate consequence of this result. ...
