We investigate finite deterministic automata in sets with non-homogeneous atoms: integers with successor. As there are uncount- ably many deterministic finite automata in this setting, we restrict our attention to automata with semilinear…

We characterize the class of nondeterministic ${\omega}$-automata that can be used for the analysis of finite Markov decision processes (MDPs). We call these automata `good-for-MDPs' (GFM). We show that GFM automata are closed under classic…
