In a recent paper, Altenbernd, Thomas and W\"ohrle have considered acceptance of languages of infinite two-dimensional words (infinite pictures) by finite tiling systems, with the usual acceptance conditions, such as the B\"uchi and Muller…
We show that one-way quantum one-counter automaton with zero-error is more powerful than its probabilistic counterpart on promise problems. Then, we obtain a similar separation result between Las Vegas one-way probabilistic one-counter…
In this paper the notion of quantum finite one-counter automata (QF1CA) is introduced. Introduction of the notion is similar to that of the 2-way quantum finite state automata by A.Kondacs and J.Watrous. The well-formedness conditions for…
We introduce higher-dimensional automata for infinite interval ipomsets ($\omega$-HDAs). We define key concepts from different points of view, inspired from their finite counterparts. Then we explore languages recognized by $\omega$-HDAs…
Some of the most interesting and important results concerning quantum finite automata are those showing that they can recognize certain languages with (much) less resources than corresponding classical finite automata…
We prove that $\omega$-regular languages accepted by B\"uchi or Muller automata satisfy an effective automata-theoretic version of the Baire property. Then we use this result to obtain a new effective property of rational functions over…
Let $S$ be a complete star-omega semiring and $\Sigma$ be an alphabet. For a weighted $\omega$-restricted one-counter automaton $\mathcal{C}$ with set of states $\{1, \dots, n\}$, $n \geq 1$, we show that there exists a mixed algebraic…
We describe a history-deterministic B\"uchi automaton that has strictly less states than every language-equivalent deterministic B\"uchi automaton. This solves a problem that had been open since the introduction of history-determinism and…
Altenbernd, Thomas and W\"ohrle have considered acceptance of languages of infinite two-dimensional words (infinite pictures) by finite tiling systems, with usual acceptance conditions, such as the B\"uchi and Muller ones [1]. It was proved…
Br\"uggemann-Klein and Wood define a one-unambiguous regular language as a language that can be recognized by a deterministic Glushkov automaton. They give a procedure performed on the minimal DFA, the BW-test, to decide whether a language…
We consider the problems of language inclusion and language equivalence for Vector Addition Systems with States (VASS) with the acceptance condition defined by the set of accepting states (and more generally by some upward-closed…
We develop a new type and effect system based on B\"uchi automata to capture finite and infinite traces produced by programs in a small language which allows non-deterministic choices and infinite recursions. There are two key technical…
We prove that some fairly basic questions on automata reading infinite words depend on the models of the axiomatic system ZFC. It is known that there are only three possibilities for the cardinality of the complement of an omega-language…
We study languages of unambiguous VASS, that is, Vector Addition Systems with States, whose transitions read letters from a finite alphabet, and whose acceptance condition is defined by a set of final states (i.e., the coverability…
In this paper, we establish a strong link between the ambiguity for finite words of a B\"uchi automaton and the ambiguity for infinite words of the same automaton. This link is based on measure theory. More precisely, we show that such an…
Unambiguous non-deterministic finite automata have intermediate expressive power and succinctness between deterministic and non-deterministic automata. It has been conjectured that every unambiguous non-deterministic one-way finite…
We revisit here congruence relations for B\"uchi automata, which play a central role in the automata-based verification. The size of the classical congruence relation is in $3^{\mathcal{O}(n^2)}$, where $n$ is the number of states of a…
Probabilistic B\"uchi Automata (PBA) are randomized, finite state automata that process input strings of infinite length. Based on the threshold chosen for the acceptance probability, different classes of languages can be defined. In this…
We study (bi)simulation-like preorder/equivalence checking on the class of visibly pushdown automata and its natural subclasses visibly BPA (Basic Process Algebra) and visibly one-counter automata. We describe generic methods for proving…
