We investigate n-ary node selection queries in trees by successful runs of tree automata. We show that run-based n-ary queries capture MSO, contribute algorithms for enumerating answers of n-ary queries, and study the complexity of the problem. We investigate the subclass of run-based n-ary queries by unambiguous tree automata.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
