This paper shows how the use of Structural Operational Semantics (SOS) in the style popularized by the process-algebra community can lead to a more succinct and useful construction for building finite automata from regular expressions. Such…

The precise complexity of complementing B\"uchi automata is an intriguing and long standing problem. While optimal complementation techniques for finite automata are simple - it suffices to determinize them using a simple subset…

We consider probabilistic automata on infinite words with acceptance defined by safety, reachability, B\"uchi, coB\"uchi, and limit-average conditions. We consider quantitative and qualitative decision problems. We present extensions and…

Notions of simulation, among other uses, provide a computationally tractable and sound (but not necessarily complete) proof method for language inclusion. They have been comprehensively studied by Lynch and Vaandrager for nondeterministic…

In the present article, we extend the fragment of inductive formulas for the hybrid language L(@) in [8] including a McKinsey-like formula, and show that every formula in the extended class has a first-order correspondent, by modifying the…

This work considers weak deterministic B\"uchi automata reading encodings of non-negative reals in a fixed base. A Real Number Automaton is an automaton which recognizes all encoding of elements of a set of reals. It is explained how to…

We investigate B\"uchi Arithmetic $\mathsf{BA}_k$ -- the elementary theory of the natural numbers equipped with addition and the function mapping a number $x$ to the greatest power of $k$ dividing $x$. $\mathsf{BA}_k$ is known to be…

On the ground of a general theorem concerning the admissibility of the structural rules in sequent calculi with additional atomic rules, we develop a proof theoretic analysis for several extensions of the ${\bf G3[mic]}$ sequent calculi…

Controlled commands -- computations whose execution depends on a separate input -- play a central role in reversible Boolean circuits and quantum circuits. However, existing formalisms typically treat control only implicitly, entangled with…

Infinite words over infinite alphabets serve as models of the temporal development of the allocation and (re-)use of resources over linear time. We approach omega-languages over infinite alphabets in the setting of nominal sets, and study…

We exploit (co)inductive specifications and proofs to approach the evaluation of low-level programs for the Unlimited Register Machine (URM) within the Coq system, a proof assistant based on the Calculus of (Co)Inductive Constructions type…

The infinite pigeonhole principle for $k$ colors ($\mathsf{RT}_k$) states, for every $k$-partition $A_0 \sqcup \dots \sqcup A_{k-1} = \mathbb{N}$, the existence of an infinite subset~$H \subseteq A_i$ for some~$i < k$. This seemingly…
