We address the satisfiability problem for string constraints that combine relational constraints represented by transducers, word equations, and string length constraints. This problem is undecidable in general. Therefore, we propose a new…
Regular string-to-string functions enjoy a nice triple characterization through deterministic two-way transducers (2DFT), streaming string transducers (SST) and MSO definable functions. This result has recently been lifted to FO definable…
We investigate the problem of checking if a finite-state transducer is robust to uncertainty in its input. Our notion of robustness is based on the analytic notion of Lipschitz continuity --- a transducer is K-(Lipschitz) robust if the…
The decidability of determining equivalence of deterministic multitape automata (or transducers) was a longstanding open problem until it was resolved by Harju and Karhum\"{a}ki in the early 1990s. Their proof of decidability yields a co_NP…
Streaming string transducers (SSTs) implement string-to-string transformations by reading each input word in a single left-to-right pass while maintaining fragments of potential outputs in a finite set of string variables. These variables…
We consider finite state non-deterministic but unambiguous transducers with infinite inputs and infinite outputs, and we consider the property of Borel normality of sequences of symbols. When these transducers are strongly connected, and…
We provide general criteria for the existence of minimal models of streaming transducers, namely devices that read an input word and produce an output value by iteratively updating an internal memory. This abstract model subsumes classical…
Motivated by a fundamental paradigm in cryptography, we consider a recent variant of the classic problem of bounding the distinguishing advantage between a random function and a random permutation. Specifically, we consider the problem of…
Transducers extend finite state automata with outputs, and describe transformations from strings to strings. Sequential transducers, which have a deterministic behaviour regarding their input, are of particular interest. However, unlike…
Minimizing finite automata, proving trace equivalence of labelled transition systems or representing sofic subshifts involve very similar arguments, which suggests the possibility of a unified formalism. We propose finite states…
We prove that the well-known (strong) fully-concurrent bisimilarity and the novel i-causal-net bisimilarity, which is a sligtlhy coarser variant of causal-net bisimilarity, are decidable for finite bounded Petri nets. The proofs are based…
We prove that for a given partial functional attributed tree transducer with monadic output, it is decidable whether or not an equivalent top-down transducer (with or without look-ahead) exists. We present a procedure that constructs an…
In large-scale applications including medical imaging, collocation differential equation solvers, and estimation with differential privacy, the underlying linear inverse problem can be reformulated as a streaming problem. In theory, the…
The connection between languages defined by computational models and logic for languages is well-studied. Monadic second-order logic and finite automata are shown to closely correspond to each-other for the languages of strings, trees, and…
Call a string-to-string transducer regular if it can be realised by one of the following equivalent models: mso transductions, two-way deterministic automata with output, and streaming transducers with registers. This paper proposes to…
In this paper, we define streaming register transducer (SRT), a one-way, letter-to-letter, transductional machine model for transformations of infinite data words whose data domain forms a linear group. Comparing with existing data word…
We consider a network coding setting where some of the messages and edges have fixed alphabet sizes, that do not change when we increase the common alphabet size of the rest of the messages and edges. We prove that the problem of deciding…
Regular functions of infinite words are (partial) functions realized by deterministic two-way transducers with infinite look-ahead. Equivalently, Alur et. al. have shown that they correspond to functions realized by deterministic Muller…
"Unidirectional channel systems" (Chambart & Schnoebelen, CONCUR 2008) are finite-state systems where one-way communication from a Sender to a Receiver goes via one reliable and one unreliable unbounded fifo channel. While reachability is…
We introduce streaming data string transducers that map input data strings to output data strings in a single left-to-right pass in linear time. Data strings are (unbounded) sequences of data values, tagged with symbols from a finite set,…
