Definability Results for Top-Down Tree Transducers

Formal Languages and Automata Theory 2021-06-01 v1

Abstract

We prove that for a given deterministic top-down transducer with look-ahead it is decidable whether or not its translation is definable (1)~by a linear top-down tree transducer or (2)~by a tree homomorphism. We present algorithms that construct equivalent such transducers if they exist.
