Abstract

We investigate the power of regular leaf languages with respect to three different tree shapes: the first one is the case of arbitrary (and thus potentially non-regular) computation trees; the second one is the case of balanced computation trees (these trees are initial segments of full binary trees); and the third one is the case of fall binary computation trees.
