We show how alternating automata provide decision procedures for the equivalence of inductively defined Boolean functions that are useful for reasoning about parameterized families of circuits. We use alternating word automata to formalize families of linearly structured circuits and alternating tree automata to formalize families of tree structured circuits. We provide complexity bounds and show how our decision procedures can be implemented using BDDs. In comparison to previous work, our approach is simpler, yields better complexity bounds, and, in the case of tree structured families, is more general.
