From Nondeterministic Buchi and Streett Automata to Deterministic Parity Automata

Determinisation and complementation are foundational notions in computer science. When considering finite automata on finite words nondeterminisation and complementation are one and the same. Given a nondeterministic finite automaton there exists an expone ...
