Abstract

We introduce two versions of Presburger Automata with the Büchi acceptance condition, working over infinite, finite-branching trees. These automata, in addition to the classical ones, allow nodes for checking linear inequalities over labels of their children. We establish tight NP and EXPTIME bounds on the complexity of the non-emptiness problem for the presented machines. We demonstrate the usefulness of our automata models by polynomially encoding the two-variable guarded fragment extended with Presburger constraints, improving the existing triply-exponential upper bound to a single exponential.
