/// \ingroup twa_algorithms
/// \brief Determinize a TGBA
///
/// The main algorithm works only with automata using Büchi acceptance
/// (preferably transition-based). If generalized Büchi is input, it
/// will be automatically degeneralized first.
///
/// The output will be a deterministic automaton using parity acceptance.
///
/// This procedure is based on an algorithm by Roman Redziejowski
/// \cite redziejowski.12.fi . Redziejowski's algorithm is similar
/// to Piterman's improvement of Safra's algorithm, except it is
/// presented on transition-based acceptance and use simpler
/// notations. We implement three additional optimizations (they
/// can be individually disabled) based on
///
/// - knowledge about SCCs of the input automaton
/// - knowledge about simulation relations in the input automaton
/// - knowledge about stutter-invariance of the input automaton
///
/// The last optimization is an idea implemented in
/// [`ltl2dstar`](https://www.ltl2dstar.fr) \cite klein.07.ciaa . In
/// fact, `ltl2dstar` even has a finer version (letter-based
/// stuttering) that is not implemented here.
///
/// \param aut the automaton to determinize
///
/// \param pretty_print whether to decorate states with names
/// showing the paths they track (this only
/// makes sense if the input has Büchi
/// acceptance already, otherwise the input
/// automaton will be degeneralized and the
/// names will refer to the states in the
/// degeneralized automaton).
///
/// \param use_scc whether to simplify the construction based on
/// the SCCs in the input automaton.
///
/// \param use_simulation whether to simplify the construction based
/// on simulation relations between states in
/// the original automaton.
///
/// \param use_stutter whether to simplify the construction when the
/// input automaton is known to be
/// stutter-invariant. (The stutter-invariant
/// flag of the input automaton is used, so it
/// might be worth to call
/// spot::check_stutter_invariance() first if
/// possible.)
///
/// \param aborter abort the construction if the constructed
/// automaton would be too large. Return nullptr
/// in this case.
