Macro forest transducers (mfts) extend macro tree transducers (mtts) from ranked to unranked trees. Mfts are more powerful than mtts (operating on binary tree encodings) because t...
The use of automata techniques to prove the termination of string rewrite systems and left-linear term rewrite systems is advocated by Geser et al. in a recent sequence of papers. ...
We prove that, if the initial knowledge of the intruder is given by a deterministic bottom-up tree automaton, then the insecurity problem for cryptographic protocols with atomic ke...
We introduce the notion of sofic tree-shifts which corresponds to symbolic dynamical systems of infinite trees accepted by finite tree automata. We show that, contrary to shifts of...
We consider the problem of synchronizing the activity of all the membranes of a P system. After pointing at the connection with a similar problem dealt with in the field of cellul...
