Abstract

We show that emptiness is decidable for three-way two-dimensional nondeterministic finite automata as well as the universe problem for the corresponding class of deterministic automata. Emptiness is undecidable for three-way (and even two-way) two-dimensional alternating finite automata over a single-letter alphabet. Consequently inclusion, equivalence, and disjointness for these automata are undecidable properties.
