In this paper we investigate the computational complexity of knot theoretic problems and show upper and lower bounds for planarity problem of signed and unsigned knot diagrams repr...
Tree-walking automata are a natural sequential model for recognizing languages of finite trees. Such automata walk around the tree and may decide in the end to accept it. It is s...

In the automata-theoretic approach to verification, we translate specifications to automata. Complexity considerations motivate the distinction between different types of automata...
Nested-word automata (NWAs) are a language formalism that helps bridge the gap between finite-state automata and pushdown automata. NWAs can express some context-free properties, ...
