Abstract
Products of tree automata do not preserve the basic properties of homomorphically and metrically complete systems of finite state automata. To remedy it, we have introduced the concept of the quasi-product of tree automata which is only a slightly more general than the product. In this paper we present the main properties of the quasi-product concerning homomorphic and metric representation of tree automata, and compare the representing powers of special quasi-products.
