Automata Theory and Logic
Description

This book introduces the reader into the field of automata theory and logic. It studies fundamental properties like complementation and determinisation of automata on infinite words and trees, and presents their applications for logics used in program verification. The presentation of such concepts - some of which are 50 years old or more - is given in a modern style and is accompanied by many exercises. The book can be used for self-study or as a basis for a graduate course on automata and logic, presupposing knowledge on finite automata and regular languages of finite words only.
Reviews / Votes
Ich schätze das Buch wegen seines Ansatzes, Automaten und Logik so direkt didaktisch verbunden darzustellen. Es stellt daher eine wichtige Bereicherung für die 'Handbibliothek' der formalen Informatik dar.
Prof. Dr. Michael Köhler-Bußmeier, Universität Hamburg

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
