Abstract

The complementation problem for nondeterministic automata on infinite words has numerous applications in formal verification. In particular, the language-containment problem, to which many verification problems are reduced, involves complementation. Traditional optimal complementation constructions are quite complicated and have not been implemented. Recently, we have developed an analysis techniques for runs of co-Büchi and generalized co-Büchi automata and used the analysis to describe simpler optimal complementation constructions for Büchi and generalized Büchi automata. In this work, we extend the analysis technique to Rabin and Streett automata, and use the analysis to describe novel and simple complementation constructions for them.
