B\"uchi Automata on infinite words present many interesting problems and are used frequently in program verification and model checking. A lot of these problems on B\"uchi automata are computationally hard, raising the question if a…

The Recognizability Theorem states that if a set of finite graphs is definable by a monadic second-order (MSO) sentence, then it is recognizable with respect to the graph algebra upon which the definition of clique-width is based.…

We extend the two-variable logic on data words with guarded regular binary predicates of the form $\widetilde{L}(x,y)$ that is true if positions $x$ and $y$ are in the same class and the factor strictly between $x$ and $y$ is in the regular…

We introduce layered automata, a subclass of alternating parity automata that generalises deterministic automata. Assuming a consistency property, these automata are history deterministic and 0-1 probabilistic. We show that every…

This work studies which storage mechanisms in automata permit decidability of the emptiness problem. The question is formalized using valence automata, an abstract model of automata in which the storage mechanism is given by a monoid. For…

This paper proves the decidability of the emptiness problem for two models which recognize graphs: graph-walking automata, and tilings of graphs by star subgraphs (star automata). Furthermore, it is proved that the non-emptiness problem for…

We present several new results and connections between various extensions of finite automata through the study of vector automata and homing vector automata. We show that homing vector automata outperform extended finite automata when both…
