Automata Theory and Formal Languages
Automata theory is concerned with the study of abstract machines, their computations and computational problems. In essence, automata can be understood as finite representations of (potentially) infinite formal languages, and they vary in their expressive power depending on their specific design.
Finite-state automata, recognizing the regular languages, are one of the most fundamental formalisms in theoretical computer science and have proven to be a useful tool in many areas, such as compiler construction, formal verification, or as a means of proving the decidability of expressive logics applied to knowledge representation.
Especially in the areas mentioned, it is desirable to model situations that go beyond regularity. In this research project, we are interested in (tree) automata models that are enriched by counting mechanisms.Professors and Research Group Leaders
