Transductions are binary relations of finite words. For rational transductions, i.e., transductions defined by finite transducers, the inclusion, equivalence and sequential uniformisation problems are known to be undecidable. In this paper,…

The plan existence problem asks, given a goal in the form of a formula in modal logic, an initial epistemic state (a pointed Kripke model), and a set of epistemic actions, whether there exists a sequence of actions that can be applied to…

Separability for groups refers to the question which subsets of a group can be detected in its finite quotients. Classically, separability is studied in terms of which classes have a certain separability property, and this question is…

We investigate the satisfiability and finite satisfiability problem for probabilistic computation-tree logic (PCTL) where operators are not restricted by any step bounds. We establish decidability for several fragments containing…

One main goal of argumentation theory is to evaluate arguments and to determine whether they should be accepted or rejected. When there is no clear answer, a third option, being undecided, has to be taken into account. Indecision is often…

This paper is about the computability of the modal definability problem in classes of frames determined by Euclidean modal logics. We characterize those Euclidean modal logics such that the classes of frames they determine give rise to an…

We consider probabilistic automata on infinite words with acceptance defined by safety, reachability, B\"uchi, coB\"uchi, and limit-average conditions. We consider quantitative and qualitative decision problems. We present extensions and…

We present CLTLB(D), an extension of PLTLB (PLTL with both past and future operators) augmented with atomic formulae built over a constraint system D. Even for decidable constraint systems, satisfiability and Model Checking problem of such…

We study the computational complexity of a robust version of the problem of testing two univariate C-finite functions for eventual inequality at large times. Specifically, working in the bit-model of real computation, we consider the…

We study elementary modal logics, i.e. modal logic considered over first-order definable classes of frames. The classical semantics of modal logic allows infinite structures, but often practical applications require to restrict our…

The Lueders postulate is reviewed and implications for the distinguishability of observables are discussed. As an example the distinguishability of two similar observables for spin-1/2 particles is described. Implementation issues are…

We study relationship among versions of the Knapsack Problem where variables take values in Z and the number of them is fixed. In particular, we construct a finitely presented group where the problem of solvability of exponential equations…

We investigate the problem of deciding whether a system of linear equations, together with divisibility conditions on the variables, has a solution over holomorphy subrings of global fields. We obtain decidability results when we allow…

Within the frame of a novel treatment we make a complete mathematical analysis of exactly solvable one-dimensional quantum systems with non-constant mass, involving their ordering ambiguities. This work extends the results recently reported…

The classical decision problem, as it is understood today, is the quest for a delineation between the decidable and the undecidable parts of first-order logic based on elegant syntactic criteria. In this paper, we treat the concept of…

The prescriptions of our two most prominent strands of decision theory, evidential and causal, differ in a general class of problems known as Newcomb problems. In these, evidential decision theory prescribes choosing a dominated act.…

In the BCSS model of real number computations we prove a concrete and explicit semi-decidable language to be undecidable yet not reducible from (and thus strictly easier than) the real Halting Language. This solution to Post's Problem over…
