Abstract

We introduce the notion of sofic tree-shifts which corresponds to symbolic dynamical systems of infinite ranked trees accepted by finite tree automata. We show that, contrary to shifts of infinite sequences, there is no unique reduced deterministic irreducible tree automaton accepting an irreducible sofic tree-shift, but that there is a unique synchronized one, called the Fischer automaton of the tree-shift. We define the notion of almost of finite type tree-shift which are sofic tree-shifts accepted by a tree automaton which is both deterministic and co-deterministic with a finite delay. It is a meaningful intermediate dynamical class in between irreducible finite type tree-shifts and irreducible sofic tree-shifts. We characterize the Fischer automaton of an almost of finite type tree-shift and we design an algorithm to check whether a sofic tree-shift is almost of finite type. We prove that the Fischer automaton is a topological conjugacy invariant of the underlying irreducible sofic tree-shift.

Fußnoten
1
Each prefix of L belongs to L.
 
2
i.e. no word is prefix of another one.
 
3
Also called a homing pattern or a magic pattern.
 
4
Also called the Shannon automaton of the tree-shift. It corresponds to the right Fischer automaton of a sofic shift of sequences.
