There are many decision problems in automata theory (including membership, emptiness, emptiness of intersection, inclusion and universality problems) that for some classes of tree automata are NP-hard. The study of their parameterized complexity allows us to find new bounds of their non-polynomial time algorithmic behaviors. We present results of such a study for classical tree automata (TA), rigid tree automata (RTA), tree automata with global equality and disequality (TAGED) and t-DAG automata.
