# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- #+TITLE: Iterating over alternating automata #+DESCRIPTION: Code example for iterating of alternating ω-automata in Spot #+SETUPFILE: setup.org #+HTML_LINK_UP: tut.html Alternating automata can be explored in a very similar way as non-alternating automata. Most of the code from our [[file:tut21.org][custom automaton printer]] will still work; the only problem is with universal edges. We will use the following example automaton as input (it is just a slight variation over an [[file:tut23.org][alternating automaton created previously]] to demonstrate a universal initial state). #+NAME: tut24in #+BEGIN_SRC hoa HOA: v1 States: 3 Start: 0&1 AP: 1 "a" acc-name: co-Buchi Acceptance: 1 Fin(0) --BODY-- State: 0 [0] 0 [!0] 0&1 State: 1 [!0] 1 {0} [0] 2 State: 2 [t] 2 --END-- #+END_SRC #+NAME: tut24dot #+BEGIN_SRC sh :results verbatim :exports none :noweb strip-export cat >tut24.hoa <> EOF autfilt --dot=.a tut24.hoa #+END_SRC #+BEGIN_SRC dot :file tut24in.png :cmdline -Tpng :var txt=tut24dot :exports results $txt #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: [[file:tut24in.png]] Let us assume that this automaton has been loaded in variable =aut=, and that we run the following code, similar to what we did in the [[file:tut21.org][custom automaton printer]]. #+NAME: nonalt-body #+BEGIN_SRC C++ :exports code :noweb strip-export std::cout << "Initial state: " << aut->get_init_state_number() << '\n'; const spot::bdd_dict_ptr& dict = aut->get_dict(); unsigned n = aut->num_states(); for (unsigned s = 0; s < n; ++s) { std::cout << "State " << s << ":\n"; for (auto& t: aut->out(s)) { std::cout << " edge(" << t.src << " -> " << t.dst << ")\n label = "; spot::bdd_print_formula(std::cout, dict, t.cond); std::cout << "\n acc sets = " << t.acc << '\n'; } } #+END_SRC #+NAME: nonalt-main #+BEGIN_SRC C++ :exports none :noweb strip-export #include #include #include #include #include void custom_print(spot::twa_graph_ptr& aut); int main() { spot::parsed_aut_ptr pa = parse_aut("tut24.hoa", spot::make_bdd_dict()); if (pa->format_errors(std::cerr)) return 1; // This cannot occur when reading a never claim, but // it could while reading a HOA file. if (pa->aborted) { std::cerr << "--ABORT-- read\n"; return 1; } custom_print(pa->aut); } #+END_SRC #+NAME: nonalt-one #+BEGIN_SRC C++ :exports results :noweb strip-export :results verbatim <> void custom_print(spot::twa_graph_ptr& aut) { <> } #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: nonalt-one #+begin_example Initial state: 4294967295 State 0: edge(0 -> 0) label = a acc sets = {} edge(0 -> 4294967295) label = !a acc sets = {} State 1: edge(1 -> 1) label = !a acc sets = {0} edge(1 -> 2) label = a acc sets = {} State 2: edge(2 -> 2) label = 1 acc sets = {} #+end_example This output seems correct only for non-universal edges. The reason is that Spot always store all edges as a tuple (src,dst,label,acc sets), but universal edges are indicated by setting the most significant bit of the destination (or of the initial state). The "universality" of an edge can be tested using the =twa_graph::is_univ_dest()= method: it takes a destination state as input, as in =aut->is_univ_dest(t.dst)= or =aut->is_univ_dest(aut->get_init_state_number())=. For convenience this method can also be called on a edge, as in =aut->is_univ_dest(t)=. The set of destination states of a universal edge can be iterated over via the =twa_graph::univ_dests()= method. This takes either a destination state (=twa_graph::univ_dests(t.dst)=) or more simply an edge (=twa_graph::univ_dests(t)=). The =univ_dests()= method will also work on non-universal edges, but in this case it will simply iterate on the given state. Therefor in order to print the universal destinations of any universal edge in an alternating automaton, we can use =univ_dests()= unconditionally. In this example, we simply call =is_univ_dest()= to decide whether to enclose the destinations in braces. #+NAME: nonalt-body2 #+BEGIN_SRC C++ :exports code :noweb strip-export unsigned init = aut->get_init_state_number(); std::cout << "Initial state:"; if (aut->is_univ_dest(init)) std::cout << " {"; for (unsigned i: aut->univ_dests(init)) std::cout << ' ' << i; if (aut->is_univ_dest(init)) std::cout << " }"; std::cout << '\n'; const spot::bdd_dict_ptr& dict = aut->get_dict(); unsigned n = aut->num_states(); for (unsigned s = 0; s < n; ++s) { std::cout << "State " << s << ":\n"; for (auto& t: aut->out(s)) { std::cout << " edge(" << t.src << " ->"; if (aut->is_univ_dest(t)) std::cout << " {"; for (unsigned dst: aut->univ_dests(t)) std::cout << ' ' << dst; if (aut->is_univ_dest(t)) std::cout << " }"; std::cout << ")\n label = "; spot::bdd_print_formula(std::cout, dict, t.cond); std::cout << "\n acc sets = " << t.acc << '\n'; } } #+END_SRC #+NAME: nonalt-two #+BEGIN_SRC C++ :exports results :noweb strip-export :results verbatim <> void custom_print(spot::twa_graph_ptr& aut) { <> } #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: nonalt-two #+begin_example Initial state: { 0 1 } State 0: edge(0 -> 0) label = a acc sets = {} edge(0 -> { 0 1 }) label = !a acc sets = {} State 1: edge(1 -> 1) label = !a acc sets = {0} edge(1 -> 2) label = a acc sets = {} State 2: edge(2 -> 2) label = 1 acc sets = {} #+end_example * Python Here is the Python version of this code: #+BEGIN_SRC python :results output :exports both import spot aut = spot.automaton("tut24.hoa") bdict = aut.get_dict() init = aut.get_init_state_number() ui = aut.is_univ_dest(init) print("Initial states: {}{}{}".format("{ " if ui else "", " ".join(map(str, aut.univ_dests(init))), " }" if ui else "")) for s in range(0, aut.num_states()): print("State {}:".format(s)) for t in aut.out(s): ud = aut.is_univ_dest(t) print(" edge({} -> {}{}{})".format(t.src, "{ " if ud else "", " ".join(map(str, aut.univ_dests(t))), " }" if ud else "")) print(" label =", spot.bdd_format_formula(bdict, t.cond)) print(" acc sets =", t.acc) #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: #+begin_example Initial states: { 0 1 } State 0: edge(0 -> 0) label = a acc sets = {} edge(0 -> { 0 1 }) label = !a acc sets = {} State 1: edge(1 -> 1) label = !a acc sets = {0} edge(1 -> 2) label = a acc sets = {} State 2: edge(2 -> 2) label = 1 acc sets = {} #+end_example #+BEGIN_SRC sh :results silent :exports results rm -f tut24.hoa #+END_SRC
