t-analogue of the q-characters of finite dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras

Frenkel-Reshetikhin introduced $q$-characters of finite dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras. We give a combinatorial algorithm to compute them for all simple modules. Our tool is $t$-analogue of the $q$-characters, which is similar to Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, and our algorithm has a resemblance with their definition.
