automaton_upwards_closed (908B)
1 # Upwards closed automaton 2 3 Deciding if the language of an [NFA] is [language_upwards_closed] is [PSPACE_complete] even on an alphabet of size 2, cf [karandikar2016deciding] Proposition 7.1. But it is [NL_complete] on [DFAs] 4 5 Testing the [automaton_equivalence] of two [NFAs] recognizing upwards closed languages is [coNP_complete], cf [bachmeier2014finite] 6 7 [automaton_inclusion_upwards_closed] 8 9 Ditto for [automaton_inclusion], cf [karandikar2016state] Proposition 7.3 10 11 All of this holds even if only the right-hand-side [NFA] is upwards-closed, cf also [inclusion_DFA_trick] 12 13 [universality_automaton_upwards_closed] 14 15 Up: [language_upwards_closed] 16 17 Aliases: upwards closed automaton, Upwards closed automata, supersequence closed automaton, supersequence closed automata, automata supersequence closed, automaton supersequence closed 18 19 See also: [downwards_closed_automaton], [automaton_subsequence_closed]
