Automata Theory: An Algorithmic Approach
by Javier Esparza
2017
Number of pages: 321
Description:
These notes introduce the theory of finite- and omega-automata from an algorithmic point of view. Courses on data structures teach how to represent sets in a computer so that operations like insertion, deletion, or lookup, can be efficiently implemented. These notes present automata as a data structure for sets that allows for efficient implementations of the basic set-theoretical operations, decision procedures for basic properties, and basic operations on relations.

This textbook presents the basics of tree automata, focusing on the operational aspects. It should appeal the reader who wants a simple presentation of the basics, and to see how some variations of tree automata provide a tool for difficult problems.
