Let $\Phi = (V, \mathcal{C})$ be a constraint satisfaction problem on variables $v_1,\dots, v_n$ such that each constraint depends on at most $k$ variables and such that each variable assumes values in an alphabet of size at most $[q]$.…

We contribute to the refined understanding of the language-logic-algebra interplay in the context of first-order properties of countable words. We establish decidable algebraic characterizations of one variable fragment of FO as well as…

We consider the decidability of the verification problem of programs \emph{modulo axioms} --- that is, verifying whether programs satisfy their assertions, when the functions and relations it uses are assumed to interpreted by arbitrary…

The original proof of Dacorogna-Moser theorem on the prescribed Jacobian PDE, $\text{det}\,\nabla\varphi=f$, can be modified in order to obtain control of support of the solutions from that of the initial data, while keeping optimal…

This work is devoted to the study of the existence of at least one (non-zero) solution to a problem involving the discrete $p$-Laplacian. As a special case, we derive an existence theorem for a second-order discrete problem, depending on a…

We study the parameterized complexity of the problem to decide whether a given natural number $n$ satisfies a given $\Delta_0$-formula $\varphi(x)$; the parameter is the size of $\varphi$. This parameterization focusses attention on…

We extend in a natural way the operation of Turing machines to infinite ordinal time, and investigate the resulting supertask theory of computability and decidability on the reals. The resulting computability theory leads to a notion of…

Let $\Sigma$ be a (reduced) root system. Let $\mathsf{k}$ be an algebraically closed field of zero characteristic, and consider the corresponding semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_{\mathsf{k}, \Sigma}$. Then there is a first-order…

We show that for a fixed positive integer k one can efficiently decide if a finite algebra A admits a k-ary weak near unanimity operation by looking at the local behavior of the terms of A. We also observe that the problem of deciding if a…

The Feferman-Vaught theorem provides a way of evaluating a first order sentence $\varphi$ on a disjoint union of structures by producing a decomposition of $\varphi$ into sentences which can be evaluated on the individual structures and the…

The article surveys some decidability results for DPDAs on infinite words (omega-DPDA). We summarize some recent results on the decidability of the regularity and the equivalence problem for the class of weak omega-DPDAs. Furthermore, we…

We mainly investigate model of set theory with restricted choice, e.g., ZF + DC + "the family of countable subsets of lambda is well ordered for every lambda" (really local version for a given lambda). In this frame much of pcf theory can…

In order to verify programs or hybrid systems, one often needs to prove that certain formulas are unsatisfiable. In this paper, we consider conjunctions of polynomial inequalities over the reals. Classical algorithms for deciding these not…

Let $\Delta_k$ be the Dunkl Laplacian on $\mathbb R^d$ associated with a reflection group $W$ and a multiplicity function $k$. The purpose of this paper is to establish necessary and sufficient condition under which there exists a positive…

A linear code $C$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called $\Delta$-divisible if the Hamming weights $\operatorname{wt}(c)$ of all codewords $c \in C$ are divisible by $\Delta$. The possible effective lengths of $q^r$-divisible codes have been…

Farkas' Lemma is a foundational result in linear programming, with implications in duality, optimality conditions, and stochastic and bilevel programming. Its generalizations are known as theorems of the alternative. There exist theorems of…

If $f$ is a symmetric complex-valued function on the $m$-fold Cartesian product of the set of non-negative reals and $A$ is a positive semi-definite $m\times m$ matrix with eigenvalues $\lambda_j$, we set…

Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) is a prominent specification formalism for real-time systems. In this paper, we show that the satisfiability problem for MTL over finite timed words is decidable, with non-primitive recursive complexity. We also…

For each $n\in\mathbb{N}$, let $[n]\phi$ mean "the sentence $\phi$ is true in all $\Sigma_{n+1}$-correct transitive sets." Assuming G\"odel's axiom $V = L$, we prove the following graded variant of Solovay's completeness theorem: the set of…

We show that completeness at higher levels of the theory of the reals is a robust notion (under changing the signature and bounding the domain of the quantifiers). This mends recognized gaps in the hierarchy, and leads to stronger…
