Sparse structures are frequently sought when pursuing tractability in optimization problems. They are exploited from both theoretical and computational perspectives to handle complex problems that become manageable when sparsity is present.…

We study the emptiness and $\lambda$-reachability problems for unary and binary Probabilistic Finite Automata (PFA) and characterise the complexity of these problems in terms of the degree of ambiguity of the automaton and the size of its…

The problem of inclusion of the language accepted by timed automaton $A$ (e.g., the implementation) in the language accepted by $B$ (e.g., the specification) is, in general, undecidable in the class of non-deterministic timed automata. In…

Suppose a target is hidden in one of the vertices of an edge-weighted graph according to a known probability distribution. The expanding search problem asks for a search sequence of the vertices so as to minimize the expected time for…

We consider temporal logic verification of (possibly nonlinear) dynamical systems evolving over continuous state spaces. Our approach combines automata-based verification and the use of so-called barrier certificates. Automata-based…

We introduce the class of tree constraint automata with data values in Z (equipped with the less than relation and equality predicates to constants) and we show that the nonemptiness problem is ExpTime-complete. Using an automata-based…

We consider fundamental scheduling problems motivated by energy issues. In this framework, we are given a set of jobs, each with a release time, deadline and required processing length. The jobs need to be scheduled on a machine so that at…

Recent neural network models for algorithmic tasks have led to significant improvements in extrapolation to sequences much longer than training, but it remains an outstanding problem that the performance still degrades for very long or…

Despite the possibility to quickly compute reachable sets of large-scale linear systems, current methods are not yet widely applied by practitioners. The main reason for this is probably that current approaches are not push-button-capable…

In this dissertation, we study two of the global properties of 1-dimensional cellular automata (CAs) under periodic boundary condition, namely, reversibility and randomness. To address reversibility of finite CAs, we develop a mathematical…

The determinisation problem for min-plus (tropical) weighted automata was recently shown to be decidable. However, the proof is purely existential, relying on several non-constructive arguments. Our contribution in this work is twofold:…

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,…
