27   ///
28   /// The input automaton must have a generalized co-Büchi or Büchi acceptance
29   /// condition.
30   /// The automaton will be converted into a weak Büchi automaton. If the input
31   /// automaton is already weak, it will simply be copied.
32   ///
33   /// For details about the algorithm used, see the following papers:
34   /// \cite kupferman.01.tocl ,
35   /// \cite kupferman.05.tcs .
36   ///
37   /// Although at the end of the above paper there is a hint at an optimization
38   /// that greatly reduces the number of transition in the resulting automaton,
39   /// but in return makes the run of remove_alternation algorithm way slower.
40   /// Hence, the optimization is disabled by default.
41   ///
42   /// \param aut the automaton to convert to weak
43   /// \param less whether to activate the optimization on the number of
44   /// transitions or not, disabled by default
