Maximization of {\it non-submodular} functions appears in various scenarios, and many previous works studied it based on some measures that quantify the closeness to being submodular. On the other hand, many practical non-submodular…

We study the bisimilarity problem for probabilistic pushdown automata (pPDA) and subclasses thereof. Our definition of pPDA allows both probabilistic and non-deterministic branching, generalising the classical notion of pushdown automata…

Branching bisimilarity on normed Basic Process Algebra (BPA) was claimed to be EXPTIME-hard in previous papers without any explicit proof. Recently it is reminded by Jan\v{c}ar that the claim is not so dependable. In this paper, we develop…

In the context of spatial logics and spatial model checking for polyhedral models -- mathematical basis for visualisations in continuous space -- we propose a weakening of simplicial bisimilarity. We additionally propose a corresponding…

The method of self-similar factor approximants is completed by defining the approximants of odd orders, constructed from the power series with the largest term of an odd power. It is shown that the method provides good approximations for…

In many modern applications, difficulty in evaluating the posterior density makes performing even a single MCMC step slow. This difficulty can be caused by intractable likelihood functions, but also appears for routine problems with large…

Using a coupling argument, we establish a general weak law of large numbers for functionals of binomial point processes in d-dimensional space, with a limit that depends explicitly on the (possibly non-uniform) density of the point process.…

Conformance checking techniques allow us to quantify the correspondence of a process's execution, captured in event data, w.r.t., a reference process model. In this context, alignments have proven to be useful for calculating conformance…
