Faster Game Solving by Fixpoint Acceleration

We propose a method for solving parity games with acyclic (DAG) sub-structures by computing nested fixpoints of a DAG attractor function that lives over the non-DAG parts of the game, thereby restricting the domain of the involved fixpoint operators. Intuitively, this corresponds to accelerating fixpoint computation by inlining cycle-free parts during the solution of parity games, leading to earlier convergence. We also present an economic later-appearance-record construction that takes Emerson-...
