Abstract
A Hierarchy of Deterministic Top-down Tree Transformations

The classes DTA, DTT, DTT{DR}, and DTT{R} stand for the family of tree
transductions induced by all deterministic top-down tree automata,
deterministic top-down tree transducers, deterministic top-down tree
transducers with deterministic top-down look-ahead, and deterministic
top-down tree transducers with regular look-ahead, respectively. In this paper
we study two hierarchies obtained by compositions of tree transformation
classes and show that they are proper and that they ``shuffle perfectly''.
Using these results we show that the problem of determining the correct
inclusion relationship between two arbitrary compositions of tree
transformation classes from the set M={ DTA, DTT, DTT{DR}, DTT{R} } can be
decided in linear time.
