In automata theory, a nested stack automaton is a finite automaton that can make use of a stack containing data which can be additional stacks.[1] A nested stack automaton may read its stack, in addition to pushing or popping it. A nested stack automaton is capable of recognizing an indexed language[2], and in fact the class of indexed languages is exactly the class of languages accepted by one-way nondeterministic nested stack automata.[1]
