Partially ordered two-way Büchi automata

We introduce partially ordered two-way Büchi automata over infinite words. As for finite words, the nondeterministic variant recognizes the fragment Sigma2 of first-order logic FO[<] and the deterministic version yields the Delta2-definable omega-languages. As a byproduct of our results, we show that deterministic partially ordered two-way Büchi automata are effectively closed under Boolean operations. In addition, we have coNP-completeness results for the emptiness problem and the inclusion problem over deterministic partially ordered two-way Büchi automata
