Popis: In this paper, we propose a reduction of the minimization problem for a bottom-up deterministic tree automaton (DFTA), making the latter a minimization of a string deterministic finite automaton (DFA). To achieve this purpose, we proceed first by the transformation of the tree automaton into a particular string automaton, followed by minimizing this string automaton. In addition, we show that for our transformation, the minimization of the resulting string automaton coincides with the minimization of the original tree automaton. Finally, we discuss the complexity of our proposal for different types of tree automata, namely: standard, acyclic, incremental, and incrementally constructed tree automata.
