Polynomial automata: zeroness and applications

Abstract:

We introduce a generalisation of weighted automata over a field, called polynomial automata, and we analyse the complexity of the Zeroness Problem in this model, that is, whether a given automaton outputs zero on all words. While this problem is non-primitive recursive in general, we highlight a subclass of polynomial automata for which the Zeroness Problem is primitive recursive. Refining further, we identify a subclass of affine VAS for which coverability is in 2EXPSPACE. We also use polyno...
