Abstract

We introduce new tools allowing to deal with the equality-problem for prefix-free languages. We illustrate our ideas by showing that, for every fixed integer t ≥ 1, the equivalence problem for t-turn deterministic pushdown automata is co-NP. This complexity result refines those of [Val74, Bee76].
