Inspired by a concrete industry problem we consider the input synthesis problem for hybrid systems: given a hybrid system that is subject to input from outside (also called disturbance or noise), find an input sequence that steers the…

Separation Logic (SL) is a well-known assertion language used in Hoare-style modular proof systems for programs with dynamically allocated data structures. In this paper we investigate the fragment of first-order SL restricted to the…

We introduce the concept of structured synthesis for Markov decision processes where the structure is induced from finitely many pre-specified options for a system configuration. The resulting synthesis problem is in general a nonlinear…

We provide a logical characterization of non-deterministic polynomial time defined by BSS machines over semirings via existential second-order logic interpreted in the semiring semantics developed by Gr\"adel and Tannen. Furthermore, we…

We study first-order logic (FO) over the structure consisting of finite words over some alphabet $A$, together with the (non-contiguous) subword ordering. In terms of decidability of quantifier alternation fragments, this logic is…

This paper introduces a novel $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$-optimal interval observer synthesis for bounded-error/uncertain locally Lipschitz nonlinear continuous-time (CT) and discrete-time (DT) systems with noisy nonlinear observations.…

We introduce a family of synthetic languages with hierarchical structure -- generated by a broadcast process on trees -- for which the role of context length and reasoning in autoregressive generation can be analyzed precisely. At the heart…

Reasoning under uncertainty is a fundamental challenge in Artificial Intelligence. As with most of these challenges, there is a harsh dilemma between the expressive power of the language used, and the tractability of the computational…

Over the past two decades several fragments of first-order logic have been identified and shown to have good computational and algorithmic properties, to a great extent as a result of appropriately describing the image of the standard…

We investigate array separation logic (ASL), a variant of symbolic-heap separation logic in which the data structures are either pointers or arrays, i.e., contiguous blocks of allocated memory. This logic provides a language for…

We study local consequence relations in modal extensions of product logic over Kripke models with either valued (fuzzy) or crisp accessibility relations. In both settings, we consider semantics over the full class of product algebras as…

We address the problem of combining sequence models of symbolic music with user defined constraints. For typical models this is non-trivial as only the conditional distribution of each symbol given the earlier symbols is available, while…

We study finite first-order satisfiability (FSAT) in the constructive setting of dependent type theory. Employing synthetic accounts of enumerability and decidability, we give a full classification of FSAT depending on the first-order…

We present a first-order theory of sequences with integer elements, Presburger arithmetic, and regular constraints, which can model significant properties of data structures such as arrays and lists. We give a decision procedure for the…

We introduce the class of synchronous subsequential relations, a subclass of the synchronous relations which embodies some properties of subsequential relations. If we take relations of this class as forming the possible transitions of an…

Synthesis of program parts is very useful for concurrent systems. However, most synthesis approaches do not support common design tasks, like modifying a single process without having to re-synthesize or verify the whole system.…

Quantified modal logic provides a natural logical language for reasoning about modal attitudes even while retaining the richness of quantification for referring to predicates over domains. But then most fragments of the logic are…

We study the fluted fragment of first-order logic which is often viewed as a multi-variable non-guarded extension to various systems of description logics lacking role-inverses. In this paper we show that satisfiable fluted sentences (even…
