Abstract

We consider alternation depth bounds for tree automata, that is, we limit the number of alternations of existential and universal computation steps. We show that a constant bound guarantees that the forest recognized is regular, whereas already a logarithmic bound enables the automata to recognize a strictly larger class of forests. As a corollary we obtain results on other types of alternation bounds for tree automata. We consider also commutation properties of independent computation steps of an alternating tree automaton.
