Büchi Automata Recognizing Sets of Reals Definable in First-Order Logic with Addition and Order
Résumé
This work considers encodings of non-negative reals in a fixed base, and their encoding by weak deterministic Büchi automata. A Real Number Automaton is an automaton which recognizes all encodings of elements of a set of reals. We explain in this paper how to decide in linear time whether a set of reals recognized by a given minimal weak determin-istic RNA is FO[IR; +, <, 1]-definable. Furthermore, it is explained how to compute in quasi-quadratic (respectively, quasi-linear) time an exis-tential (respectively, existential-universal) FO[IR; +, <, 1]-formula which defines the set of reals recognized by the automaton. As an additional contribution, the techniques used for obtaining our main result lead to a characterization of minimal deterministic Büchi automata accepting FO[IR; +, <, 1]-definable set.
