The first part of the paper centers in the study of embeddability between partially commutative groups. In [KK], for a finite simplicial graph $\Gamma$, the authors introduce an infinite, locally infinite graph $\Gamma^e$, called the…
Time-Basic Petri nets, is a powerful formalism for model- ing real-time systems where time constraints are expressed through time functions of marking's time description associated with transition, representing possible firing times. We…
We study alternating automata with qualitative semantics over infinite binary trees: alternation means that two opposing players construct a decoration of the input tree called a run, and the qualitative semantics says that a run of the…
Input-driven pushdown automata with translucent input letters are investigated. Here, the use of translucent input letters means that the input is processed in several sweeps and that, depending on the current state of the automaton, some…
The coverability problem for Petri nets plays a central role in the verification of concurrent shared-memory programs. However, its high EXPSPACE-complete complexity poses a challenge when encountered in real-world instances. In this paper,…
The gathering over meeting nodes problem asks the robots to gather at one of the pre-defined meeting nodes. The robots are deployed on the nodes of an anonymous two-dimensional infinite grid which has a subset of nodes marked as meeting…
A saturation algorithm for collapsible pushdown systems was published in ICALP 2012. This work introduced a class of stack automata used to recognised regular sets of collapsible pushdown configurations. It was shown that these automata…
Over the last 25 years, a lot of work has been done on seeking for decidable non-regular extensions of Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL). Only recently, an expressive extension of PDL, allowing visibly pushdown automata (VPAs) as a…
We consider the master/slave parameterised reachability problem for networks of pushdown systems, where communication is via a global store using only non-atomic reads and writes. We show that the control-state reachability problem is…
Recently there has been a significant effort to handle quantitative properties in formal verification and synthesis. While weighted automata over finite and infinite words provide a natural and flexible framework to express quantitative…
Automata for unordered unranked trees are relevant for defining schemas and queries for data trees in Json or Xml format. While the existing notions are well-investigated concerning expressiveness, they all lack a proper notion of…
We study explorability, a measure of nondeterminism in pushdown automata, which generalises history-determinism. An automaton is k-explorable if, while reading the input, it suffices to follow k concurrent runs, built step-by-step based…
Recently data trees and data words have received considerable amount of attention in connection with XML reasoning and system verification. These are trees or words that, in addition to labels from a finite alphabet, carry data values from…
The aim of this work is to thoroughly investigate Buchi automata augmented with spatial constraints. The input trees of such an automaton are infinite k-ary Sigma-trees, with the nodes standing for time points, and Sigma including,…
We study the reachability problem for one-counter automata in which transitions can carry disequality tests. A disequality test is a guard that prohibits a specified counter value. This reachability problem has been known to be NP-hard and…
Numerous tasks in program analysis and synthesis reduce to deciding reachability in possibly infinite graphs such as those induced by Petri nets. However, the Petri net reachability problem has recently been shown to require non-elementary…
Once the set of finite graphs is equipped with an algebra structure (arising from the definition of operations that generalize the concatenation of words), one can define the notion of a recognizable set of graphs in terms of finite…
We establish a classification of decision problems that are to be solved by mobile agents operating in unlabeled graphs, using a deterministic protocol. The classification is with respect to the ability of a team of agents to solve the…
The problem if a given configuration of a pushdown automaton (PDA) is bisimilar with some (unspecified) finite-state process is shown to be decidable. The decidability is proven in the framework of first-order grammars, which are given by…
Register automata extend classical finite automata with a finite set of registers that can store data from an infinite data domain for later equality comparisons with data from an input data word. While the registers in the original model…
