摘要
In this paper, we study tree automata for directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). We define the movement of a tree automaton on a DAG so that a DAG is accepted by a tree automaton if and only if the DAG has a spanning tree accepted by the tree automaton. We call this automaton a spanning tree automaton. The NP-completeness of the membership problem of DAGs for spanning tree automata is shown. However, if inputs are restricted to series-parallel graphs or generalized series-parallel graphs, it is shown that the membership problem for spanning tree automata is solvable in linear time.
