摘要
We introduce partially ordered two-way Buchi automata and characterize their expressive power in terms of fragments of first-order logic FO[<]. Partially ordered two-way Buchi automata are Buchi automata which can change the direction in which the input is processed with the constraint that whenever a state is left, it is never re-entered again. Nondeterministic partially ordered two-way Buchi automata coincide with the first-order fragment Sigma(2). Our main contribution is that deterministic partially ordered two-way Buchi automata are expressively complete for the first-order fragment Delta(2). As an intermediate step, we show that deterministic partially ordered two-way Buchi automata are effectively closed under Boolean operations. A small model property yields coNP-completeness of the emptiness problem and the inclusion problem for deterministic partially ordered two-way Buchi automata.
