An Efficient Algorithm for the Equation Tree Automaton via the $k$-C-Continuations

Champarnaud and Ziadi, and Khorsi et al. show how to compute the equation automaton of word regular expression $E$ via the $k$-C-Continuations. Kuske and Meinecke extend the computation of the equation automaton to a regular tree expression $E$ over a ranked alphabet $Σ$ and produce a $O(R\cdot|E|^2)$ time and space complexity algorithm, where $R$ is the maximal rank of a symbol occurring in $Σ$ and $|E|$ is the size of $E$. In this paper, we give a full description of the algorithm based on the acyclic minimization of Revuz. Our algorithm, which is performed in an $O(|Q|\cdot|E|)$ time and space complexity, where $|Q|$ is the number of states of the produced automaton, is more efficient than the one obtained by Kuske and Meinecke.
