Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Register automaton (RA) is a computational model that can handle data values by adding registers to finite automaton. Recently, weighted register automaton (WRA) was proposed by extending RA so that weights can be specified for transitions. In this paper, we first define some decision problems for WRA and analyze their computational complexity. We also define an optimal run problem for WRA and propose an algorithm for the problem by reducing it to the minimum weight path problem for directed graphs. For the reduction, we abstract data values stored in registers by a register type, determined from binary relations (such as $=$, $<$, etc.) handled by WRA. For a subclass where the applicability of transition rules and weights are determined only by register type, we present a method of constructing a directed graph from a given WRA in the subclasssuch that the optimal run of WRA and the minimum weight path of the graph correspond to each other.
