Abstract

Determinization and complementation are two fundamental problems in automata theory. Very recently, Piterman improved Safra's determinization and, presented a new construction which produces parity automata with a smaller size. We give a tighter analysis on that determinization construction and show that the number of states of the resulting deterministic automaton is bounded by 2n2(n!) instead of 2n!nn.
