We investigate the (non)-existence of universal automata for some classes of automata, such as finite automata and pushdown automata, and in particular the influence of the representation and encoding function. An alternative approach,…
We present the first study of non-deterministic weighted automata under probabilistic semantics. In this semantics words are random events, generated by a Markov chain, and functions computed by weighted automata are random variables. We…
In this paper, we present a systematic way of deriving (1) languages of (generalised) regular expressions, and (2) sound and complete axiomatizations thereof, for a wide variety of systems. This generalizes both the results of Kleene (on…
We study trees where each successor set is equipped with some additional structure. We introduce a family of automaton models for such trees and prove their equivalence to certain fixed-point logics. As a consequence we obtain…
Finite state transducers, multitape automata and weighted automata have a lot in common. By studying their universal foundations, one can discover some new insights into all of them. The main result presented here is the introduction of…
We consider weighted tree automata over strong bimonoids (for short: wta). A wta $\mathcal{A}$ has the finite-image property if its recognized weighted tree language $[\![\mathcal{A}]\!]$ has finite image; moreover, $\mathcal{A}$ has the…
Nonuniform families of polynomial-size finite automata, which are series of indexed finite automata having polynomially many inner states, are used in the past literature to solve nonuniform families of promise decision problems. Among such…
When used as verifiers in Arthur-Merlin systems, two-way quantum finite automata can verify membership in all languages with bounded error with double-exponential expected running time, which cannot be achieved by their classical…
The notion of comparison between system runs is fundamental in formal verification. This concept is implicitly present in the verification of qualitative systems, and is more pronounced in the verification of quantitative systems. In this…
Inspired by distributed algorithms, we introduce a new class of finite graph automata that recognize precisely the graph languages definable in monadic second-order logic. For the cases of words and trees, it has been long known that the…
We consider previous models of Timed, Probabilistic and Stochastic Timed Automata, we introduce our model of Timed Automata with Polynomial Delay and we characterize the expressiveness of these models relative to each other.
We show that descriptive complexity's result extends in High Order Logic to capture the expressivity of Turing Machine which have a finite number of alternation and whose time or space is bounded by a finite tower of exponential. Hence we…
Weighted monadic second-order logic is a weighted extension of monadic second-order logic that captures exactly the behaviour of weighted automata. Its semantics is parameterized with respect to a semiring on which the values that weighted…
We use a non-deterministic variant of storage types to develop a framework for the approximation of automata with storage. This framework is used to provide automata-theoretic views on the approximation of multiple context-free languages…
Weighted automata are nondeterministic automata with numerical weights on transitions. They can define quantitative languages~$L$ that assign to each word~$w$ a real number~$L(w)$. In the case of infinite words, the value of a run is…
We prove a sum formula with 4 parameters among finite alternating multiple zeta values which can be regarded as an alternating version of the result of Kamano on finite multiple zeta values.
In our previous articles, we have presented a class of endomorphisms of the Cuntz algebras which are defined by polynomials of canonical generators and their conjugates. We showed the classification of some case under unitary equivalence by…
We obtain a complete classification of complex-valued sequences which are both multiplicative and automatic.
This paper illustrates a technique for specifying the timing, logical operation, and compositional circuit design of digital circuits in terms of ordinary state machines with output (Moore machines). The method is illustrated here with…
Methods for specifying Moore type state machines (transducers) abstractly via primitive recursive functions and for defining parallel composition via simultaneous primitive recursion are discussed. The method is mostly of interest as a…
