    It is shown that the emptiness problem is decidable on stack automata on infinite trees. The authors give first an elementary proof for the corresponding problem on pushdown automata, and then they reduce the emptiness problem for stack automata to this special case. A computation of a stack automaton accepts an infinite tree if there are infinitely many accepting states on every path.
