On the Minimisation of Deterministic and History-Deterministic Generalised (co)Büchi Automata (2407.18090v2)

Abstract: We present a polynomial-time algorithm minimising the number of states of history-deterministic generalised coB\"uchi automata, building on the work of Abu Radi and Kupferman on coB\"uchi automata. On the other hand, we establish that the minimisation problem for both deterministic and history-deterministic generalised B\"uchi automata is NP-complete, as well as the problem of minimising at the same time the number of states and colours of history-deterministic generalised coB\"uchi automata.
