Abstract

Classes of Y-trees are defined so that closure properties hold for families of languages accepted by deterministic [or nondeterministic] systolic automata over a Y-tree T, called , if and, in some cases, only if the underlying Y-tree T is in the class. Results of the same type are proved also for decision problems. Moreover a new nonacceptability criterion for is given and used to prove some non closure properties.
