We put forward an exponential-time algorithm for deciding branching bisimilarity on normed BPA (Bacis Process Algebra) systems. The decidability of branching (or weak) bisimilarity on normed BPA was once a long standing open problem which…
Branching bisimilarity on normed BPA processes was recently shown to be decidable by Yuxi Fu (ICALP 2013) but his proof has not provided any upper complexity bound. We present a simpler approach based on relative prime decompositions that…
Deciding in an efficient way weak probabilistic bisimulation in the context of Probabilistic Automata is an open problem for about a decade. In this work we close this problem by proposing a procedure that checks in polynomial time the…
Branching bisimilarity on normed Basic Process Algebra (BPA) was claimed to be EXPTIME-hard in previous papers without any explicit proof. Recently it is reminded by Jan\v{c}ar that the claim is not so dependable. In this paper, we develop…
Recent studies reveal that branching bisimilarity is decidable for both nBPP (normed Basic Parallel Process) and nBPA (normed Basic Process Algebra). These results lead to the question if there are any other models in the hierarchy of PRS…
Given a basic process algebra (BPA) and two stack symbols, the BPA bisimilarity problem asks whether the two stack symbols are bisimilar. We show that this problem is EXPTIME-hard.
We address the problem of determining if a discrete time switched consensus system converges for any switching sequence and that of determining if it converges for at least one switching sequence. For these two problems, we provide…
We address the problem of testing weak optimality of a given solution of a given interval linear program. The problem was recently wrongly stated to be polynomially solvable. We disprove it. We show that the problem is NP-hard in general.…
The problem of verifying multi-threaded execution against the memory consistency model of a processor is known to be an NP hard problem. However polynomial time algorithms exist that detect almost all failures in such execution. These are…
In a previous paper, we have shown that any Boolean formula can be encoded as a linear programming problem in the framework of Bayesian probability theory. When applied to NP-complete algorithms, this leads to the fundamental conclusion…
We present a polynomial-time algorithm that determines, given some choice rule, whether there exists an obviously strategy-proof mechanism for that choice rule.
We provide time lower bounds for sequential and parallel algorithms deciding bisimulation on labeled transition systems that use partition refinement. For sequential algorithms this is $\Omega((m \mkern1mu {+} \mkern1mu n ) \mkern-1mu \log…
This article finds the answer to the question: for any problem from which a non-deterministic algorithm can be derived which verifies whether an answer is correct or not in polynomial time (complexity class NP), is it possible to create an…
Opacity is a property of privacy and security applications asking whether, given a system model, a passive intruder that makes online observations of system's behaviour can ascertain some "secret" information of the system. Deciding opacity…
We study the computational complexity of approximating general constrained Markov decision processes. Our primary contribution is the design of a polynomial time $(0,\epsilon)$-additive bicriteria approximation algorithm for finding optimal…
We give a strongly polynomial time algorithm which determines whether or not a bivariate polynomial is real stable. As a corollary, this implies an algorithm for testing whether a given linear transformation on univariate polynomials…
Checking two probabilistic automata for equivalence has been shown to be a key problem for efficiently establishing various behavioural and anonymity properties of probabilistic systems. In recent experiments a randomised equivalence test…
Higher-order processes with parameterization are capable of abstraction and application (migrated from the lambda-calculus), and thus are computationally more expressive. For the minimal higher-order concurrency, it is well-known that the…
