    1.44 -Automata are good.
    1.45 +\begin{def:buechi automata}
    1.46 +A non-deterministic B\"uchi automaton is a tuple $A = (\Sigma, S, S_0, \Delta, F)$, where $\Sigma$ is a finite non-empty \emph{alphabet}, $S$ is a finite non-empty set of \emph{states}, $S_0 \subseteq S$ is the set of \emph{initial states}, $F \subseteq S$ is the set of \emph{accepting states} and $\Delta: S \times \Sigma \times S$ is a \emph{transition relation}. When suitable we will use the arrow notation for the transitions, where $s \xrightarrow{a} s' \iff (s, a, s') \in \Delta$.
    1.47 +
    1.48 +A deterministic B\"uchi automaton is a specialisation where the \emph{transition relation} $\Delta$ is a \emph{transition function} $\delta: S \times \Sigma \to S$ and the set $S_0$ of \emph{initial states} contains only a single state $s_0$.
    1.49 +
    1.50 +Within this text \emph{automata/automaton} will refer to non-deterministic B\"uchi automata/automaton, unless otherwise noted.

    1.53 +\begin{def:automata runs}
    1.54 +Let $A = (\Sigma, S, S_0, \Delta, F)$ be an automaton, a run $\rho$ of $A$ on an infinite word $w = a_0,a_1,...$ over alphabet $\Sigma$ is a sequence $\rho = s_0,s_1,...$, where $s_0 \in S_0$ and $(s_i, a_i, s_{i+1}) \in \Delta$, for all $i \geq 0$. Again we may view the run sequence as a function $\rho : \mathbb{N}_0 \to S$, where $\rho(i) = s_i$ denotes the state at the $i^{th}$ sequence position.
    1.55 +\end{def:automata runs}
    1.56 +
    1.57 +\begin{def:automata acceptance}
    1.58 +Let $A = (\Sigma, S, S_0, \Delta, F)$ be an automaton and let $\rho$ be a run of $A$, we define $inf(\rho) = \{s \in S \mid \exists^\omega{n \in \mathbb{N}_0}: \rho(n) = s\}$, where $\exists^\omega$ denotes the existential quantifier for infinitely many occurances, i.e., $s$ occurs infinitely often in $\rho$.
    1.59 +
    1.60 +The run $\rho$ is \emph{accepting}, iff $inf(\rho) \cap F \neq \emptyset$, i.e., there exists an \emph{accepting state} which occurs infinitely often in the run $\rho$. The automaton $A$ \emph{accepts} an input word $w$, iff there exists a run $\rho$ of $A$ on $w$, such that $\rho$ is \emph{accepting}.
