We consider the value 1 problem for probabilistic automata over finite words: it asks whether a given probabilistic automaton accepts words with probability arbitrarily close to 1. This problem is known to be undecidable. However, different…

We study the satisfiability problem for the two-variable first-order logic over structures with one transitive relation. % We show that the problem is decidable in 2-NExpTime for the fragment consisting of formulas where existential…

We show that the determinization problem for min-plus (tropical) weighted automata is decidable, thus resolving this long-standing open problem. In doing so, we develop a new toolbox for analyzing and reasoning about the run-structure of…

We study pushdown vector addition systems, which are synchronized products of pushdown automata with vector addition systems. The question of the boundedness of the reachability set for this model can be refined into two decision problems…

In this paper, we study the extension of 1-clock Alternating Timed Automata (1-ATA) with the ability to read in both forward and backward direction, the 2-Way 1-clock Alternating Timed Automata (2-Way 1-ATA). We show that subclass of 2-Way…

We consider the two-sided stable matching setting in which there may be uncertainty about the agents' preferences due to limited information or communication. We consider three models of uncertainty: (1) lottery model --- in which for each…

In 1978 Sakoda and Sipser raised the question of the cost, in terms of size of representations, of the transformation of two-way and one-way nondeterministic automata into equivalent two-way deterministic automata. Despite all the attempts,…

We study the problem of recognizing regular languages in a variant of the streaming model of computation, called the sliding window model. In this model, we are given a size of the sliding window $n$ and a stream of symbols. At each time…

In this work, we extend undecidability of language equivalence for two-dimensional Vector Addition System with States (VASS) accepting by coverability condition. We show that the problem is undecidable even when one of the two-dimensional…

The problem DFA-Intersection-Nonemptiness asks if a given number of deterministic automata accept a common word. In general, this problem is PSPACE-complete. Here, we investigate this problem for the subclasses of commutative automata and…

We consider the problem of learning a non-deterministic probabilistic system consistent with a given finite set of positive and negative tree samples. Consistency is defined with respect to strong simulation conformance. We propose learning…

We propose a new abstract formalism for probabilistic timed systems, Parametric Interval Probabilistic Timed Automata, based on an extension of Parametric Timed Automata and Interval Markov Chains. In this context, we consider the…

Two types of explanations have been receiving increased attention in the literature when analyzing the decisions made by classifiers. The first type explains why a decision was made and is known as a sufficient reason for the decision, also…

We prove that the inhabitation problem for rank two intersection types is decidable, but (contrary to common belief) EXPTIME-hard. The exponential time hardness is shown by reduction from the in-place acceptance problem for alternating…

We introduce a new class of automata on infinite trees called \emph{alternating nonzero automata}, which extends the class of non-deterministic nonzero automata. We reduce the emptiness problem for alternating nonzero automata to the same…
