We use weighted automata (finite automata with transition weights) to define several natural classes of quantitative languages over finite and infinite words; in particular, the real value of an infinite run is computed as the maximum, limsup, liminf, limit average, or discounted sum of the transition weights. We define the classical decision problems of automata theory (emptiness, universality, language inclusion, and language equivalence) in the quantitative setting and study their computational complexity. As the decidability of the language-inclusion problem remains open for some classes of weighted automata, we introduce a notion of quantitative simulation that is decidable and implies language inclusion. We also give a complete characterization of the expressive power of the various classes of weighted automata. In particular, we show that most classes of weighted automata cannot be determinized."}],"ec_funded":1,"oa":1,"oa_version":"Submitted Version","date_published":"2010-07-01T00:00:00Z","publist_id":"2318","type":"journal_article","article_number":"23","file":[{"access_level":"open_access","file_id":"5230","content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"IST-2012-57-v1+1_Quantitative_languages.pdf","relation":"main_file","checksum":"f2e50bbd6871fba0aec30bd9625a1ee7","creator":"system","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:18Z","date_created":"2018-12-12T10:16:41Z","file_size":169136}],"publisher":"ACM","_id":"3862","year":"2010","doi":"10.1145/1805950.1805953","quality_controlled":"1","author":[{"first_name":"Krishnendu","last_name":"Chatterjee","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu"},{"full_name":"Doyen, Laurent","last_name":"Doyen","first_name":"Laurent"},{"full_name":"Henzinger, Thomas A","first_name":"Thomas A","orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724","last_name":"Henzinger","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"date_updated":"2022-03-21T08:20:03Z","has_accepted_license":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","status":"public","publication_status":"published","scopus_import":"1","ddc":["004"],"volume":11,"extern":"1","citation":{"short":"K.
