Abstract

Let SS be a complete star-omega semiring and Σ\Sigma be an alphabet. For a weighted ω\omega-restricted one-counter automaton C\mathcal{C} with set of states {1,,n}\{1, \dots, n\}, n1n \geq 1, we show that there exists a mixed algebraic system over a complete semiring-semimodule pair ((SΣ)n×n,(SΣω)n){((S \ll \Sigma^* \gg)^{n\times n}, (S \ll \Sigma^{\omega}\gg)^n)} such that the behavior C\Vert\mathcal{C} \Vert of C\mathcal{C} is a component of a solution of this system. In case the basic semiring is B\mathbb{B} or N\mathbb{N}^{\infty} we show that there exists a mixed context-free grammar that generates C\Vert\mathcal{C} \Vert. The construction of the mixed context-free grammar from C\mathcal{C} is a generalization of the well-known triple construction in case of restricted one-counter automata and is called now triple-pair construction for ω\omega-restricted one-counter automata.
