    Rational omega-tree languages are defined by extending the notion of rational (or regular) expressions for languages, and their properties are investigated. They are characterized by means of greatest fixed-points of certain functions, and are shown to be precisely the omega-tree languages recognized by Rabin's ''special automata''. A simple normal form for rational omega-tree languages is also presented.
