Abstract

It has been proved by Niwiński and Walukiewicz that a deterministic tree language is either Π$_{\rm 1}^{\rm 1}$-complete or it is on the level Π$_{\rm 3}^{\rm 0}$ of the Borel hierarchy, and that it can be decided effectively which of the two takes place. In this paper we show how to decide if the language recognized by a given deterministic tree automaton is on the Π$_{\rm 2}^{\rm 0}$, the Σ$^{\rm 0}_{\rm 2}$, or the Σ$^{\rm 0}_{\rm 3}$ level. Together with the previous results it gives a procedure calculating the exact position of a deterministic tree language in the topological hierarchy.
