Probabilistic automata are an extension of nondeterministic finite automata in which transitions are annotated with probabilities. Despite its simplicity, this model is very expressive and many of the associated algorithmic questions are…
It is well known that for a regular tree language it is decidable whether or not it can be recognized by a deterministic top-down tree automaton (DTA). However, the computational complexity of this problem has not been studied. We show that…
We consider an extension of logic programs, called \omega-programs, that can be used to define predicates over infinite lists. \omega-programs allow us to specify properties of the infinite behavior of reactive systems and, in general,…
We in this paper show that omega regular languages are not closed under infinite union and intersection. As an attempt, we propose to add step variables and quantifiers to temporal logics to enhance the expressiveness of the underlying…
We show that a special case of the Feferman-Vaught composition theorem gives rise to a natural notion of automata for finite words over an infinite alphabet, with good closure and decidability properties, as well as several logical…
Automata over infinite alphabets have recently come to be studied extensively as potentially useful tools for solving problems in verification and database theory. One popular model of automata studied is the Class Memory Automata (CMA),…
Automata for unordered unranked trees are relevant for defining schemas and queries for data trees in Json or Xml format. While the existing notions are well-investigated concerning expressiveness, they all lack a proper notion of…
In this work, we exploit the power of \emph{finite ambiguity} for the complementation problem of B\"uchi automata by using reduced run directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) over infinite words, in which each vertex has at most one predecessor;…
Register automata extend classical finite automata with a finite set of registers that can store data from an infinite data domain for later equality comparisons with data from an input data word. While the registers in the original model…
We consider extensions of monadic second order logic over $\omega$-words, which are obtained by adding one language that is not $\omega$-regular. We show that if the added language $L$ has a neutral letter, then the resulting logic is…
We develop a theory of vector spaces spanned by orbit-finite sets. Using this theory, we give a decision procedure for equivalence of weighted register automata, which are the common generalization of weighted automata and register automata…
We consider an extension of linear-time temporal logic (LTL) with both local and remote data constraints interpreted over a concrete domain. This extension is a natural extension of constraint LTL and the Temporal Logic of Repeating Values,…
We study alternating automata with qualitative semantics over infinite binary trees: alternation means that two opposing players construct a decoration of the input tree called a run, and the qualitative semantics says that a run of the…
In this paper we study a subclass of pebble automata (PA) for data languages for which the emptiness problem is decidable. Namely, we introduce the so-called top view weak PA. Roughly speaking, top view weak PA are weak PA where the…
For two given $\omega$-terms $\alpha$ and $\beta$, the word problem for $\omega$-terms over a variety $\boldsymbol{\mathrm{V}}$ asks whether $\alpha=\beta$ in all monoids in $\boldsymbol{\mathrm{V}}$. We show that the word problem for…
The satisfiability problem for branching-time temporal logics like CTL*, CTL and CTL+ has important applications in program specification and verification. Their computational complexities are known: CTL* and CTL+ are complete for doubly…
The first-order theory of finite and infinite trees has been studied since the eighties, especially by the logic programming community. Following Djelloul, Dao and Fr\"uhwirth, we consider an extension of this theory with an additional…
We define the class of explorable automata on finite or infinite words. This is a generalization of History-Deterministic (HD) automata, where this time non-deterministic choices can be resolved by building finitely many simultaneous runs…
A data tree is an unranked ordered tree where each node carries a label from a finite alphabet and a datum from some infinite domain. We consider the two variable first order logic FO2(<,+1,~) over data trees. Here +1 refers to the child…
Linear temporal logic was introduced in order to reason about reactive systems. It is often considered with respect to infinite words, to specify the behaviour of long-running systems. One can consider more general models for linear time,…
