We consider the satisfiability problem for the two-variable fragment of first-order logic over finite unranked trees. We work with signatures consisting of some unary predicates and the binary navigational predicates child, right sibling,…

We consider the problem of Data Flow Analysis over monotone data flow frameworks with a finite lattice. The problem of computing the Maximum Fixed Point (MFP) solution is shown to be P-complete even when the lattice has just four elements.…

It was shown in Alur et al. [1] that the problem of verifying finite concurrent systems through Linearizability is in EXPSPACE. However, there was still a complexity gap between the easy to obtain PSPACE lower bound and the EXPSPACE upper…

Motivated by applications in declarative data analysis, we study $\mathit{Datalog}_{\mathbb{Z}}$---an extension of positive Datalog with arithmetic functions over integers. This language is known to be undecidable, so we propose two…

This paper presents the first study of the complexity of the optimization problem for integer linear-exponential programs which extend classical integer linear programs with the exponential function $x \mapsto 2^x$ and the remainder…

We initiate the study of the complexity-theoretic properties of convex logics in team semantics. We focus on the extension of classical propositional logic with the nonemptiness atom NE, a logic known to be both convex and union closed. We…

For a given set of intervals on the real line, we consider the problem of ordering the intervals with the goal of minimizing an objective function that depends on the exposed interval pieces (that is, the pieces that are not covered by…

In this paper we study the complexity of the problems: given a loop, described by linear constraints over a finite set of variables, is there a linear or lexicographical-linear ranking function for this loop? While existence of such…

We propose a novel framework for ontology-based access to temporal log data using a datalog extension datalogMTL of a Horn fragment of the metric temporal logic MTL. We show that datalogMTL is ExpSpace-complete even with punctual intervals,…

Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a prominent problem-modeling and solving framework, whose solutions are called answer sets. Epistemic logic programs (ELP) extend ASP to reason about all or some answer sets. Solutions to an ELP can be seen…
