These winning conditions, while omega-regular, arise naturally when considering fair simulation between parity automata, secure equilibria for parity conditions, and determinization of Rabin automata. We show that these games retain the computational complexity of Rabin and Streett conditions; i.e., they are NP-complete and co-NP-complete, respectively. The (co-) NP-hardness is proved for the special case of a conjunction/disjunction of two parity conditions, which is the case that arises in fair simulation and secure equilibria. However, considering these games as Rabin or Streett games is not optimal. We give an exposition of Zielonka's algorithm when specialized to this kind of games. The complexity of solving these games for k parity objectives with d priorities, n states, and m edges is O(n(2kd) (.) m) (.) (k(.)d)!/ d!(k), as compared to O(n(2kd .) m) - (k (.) d)! when these games are solved as Rabin/Streett games. We also extend the subexponential algorithm for solving parity games recently introduced by Jurdzinski, Paterson, and Zwick to generalized parity games. The resulting complexity of solving generalized parity games is n(O(root n)) (.) (k(.)d)!/d!(k). As a corollary we obtain an improved ald!k gorithm for Rabin and Streett games with d pairs, with time complexity n(O(root n)) (.) d!.","lang":"eng"}],"_id":"3883","author":[{"full_name":"Krishnendu Chatterjee","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Krishnendu","last_name":"Chatterjee","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X"},{"first_name":"Thomas A","last_name":"Henzinger","id":"40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Thomas Henzinger","orcid":"0000−0002−2985−7724"},{"full_name":"Piterman, Nir","last_name":"Piterman","first_name":"Nir"}],"day":"09","page":"153 - 167","doi":"10.1007/978-3-540-71389-0_12","type":"conference","date_updated":"2021-01-12T07:52:56Z","month":"03","status":"public","acknowledgement":"This research was supported in part by the Swiss National Science Foundation, and by the NSF grants CCR-0225610 and CCR-0234690.","quality_controlled":0,"title":"Generalized parity games","alternative_title":["LNCS"],"volume":4423,"date_created":"2018-12-11T12:05:41Z","publist_id":"2287","intvolume":"      4423","year":"2007","publisher":"Springer"}
