Abstract
We study the (-)regular separability problem for B\"uchi VASS languages: Given two B\"uchi VASS with languages and , check whether there is a regular language that fully contains while remaining disjoint from . We show that the problem is decidable in general and PSPACE-complete in the 1-dimensional case, assuming succinct counter updates. The results rely on several arguments. We characterize the set of all regular languages disjoint from . Based on this, we derive a (sound and complete) notion of inseparability witnesses, non-regular subsets of . Finally, we show how to symbolically represent inseparability witnesses and how to check their existence.
