We thus give a proper generalization of McNaughton's Theorem from infinite words to infinite traces, thus solving one of the main open problems in this field. As a special case we obtain that every closed (w.r.t.~the independence relation) word language is accepted by some $I$-diamond deterministic Muller automaton.", doi = "10.1007/3-540-56503-5_61" }
