Automata operating on pairs of words were introduced as an alternative way of capturing acceptance of regular $\omega$-languages. Families of DFAs and lasso automata operating on such pairs followed, giving rise to minimisation algorithms,…
We develop a fully diagrammatic approach to the theory of finite-state automata, based on reinterpreting their usual state-transition graphical representation as a two-dimensional syntax of string diagrams. Moreover, we provide an…
An open problem posed by Milner asks for a proof that a certain axiomatisation, which Milner showed is sound with respect to bisimilarity for regular expressions, is also complete. One of the main difficulties of the problem is the lack of…
We provide an extension of concurrent Kleene algebras to account for probabilistic properties. The algebra yields a unified framework containing nondeterminism, concurrency and probability and is sound with respect to the set of…
A representation of the central extension of the unitary Lie algebra coordinated with a skew Laurent polynomial ring is constructed using vertex operators over an integral Z_2-lattice. The irreducible decomposition of the representation is…
We prove that the equational theory of Kleene algebra with commutativity conditions on primitives (or atomic terms) is undecidable, thereby settling a longstanding open question in the theory of Kleene algebra. While this question has also…
We discuss the consistency of the axioms which the definition of quantum Lie algebras is usually based on.
We propose Kleene algebra with domain (KAD), an extension of Kleene algebra with two equational axioms for a domain and a codomain operation, respectively. KAD considerably augments the expressiveness of Kleene algebra, in particular for…
We extend the definition and study the algebraic properties of the polylogarithm Li(T), where T is rational series over the alphabet X = {x 0, x 1} belonging to suitable subalgebras of rational series.
We generalize Kracht's theory of internal describability from classical modal logic to the family of all logics canonically associated with varieties of normal lattice expansions (LE algebras). We work in the purely algebraic setting of…
In this paper, we show that the equational theory of relational Kleene algebra with the \emph{graph loop} operator (a.k.a.~\emph{fixset}) is \textsc{PSpace}-complete. Here, the graph loop is the unary operator that restricts a binary…
We define and study basic properties of *-continuous Kleene $\omega$-algebras that involve a *-continuous Kleene algebra with a *-continuous action on a semimodule and an infinite product operation that is also *-continuous. We show that…
We show that the axioms of Weak Kleene Algebra (WKA) are sound and complete for the theory of regular expressions modulo simulation equivalence, assuming their completeness for monodic trees (as conjectured by Takai and Furusawa).
We present a Coq library about Kleene algebra with tests, including a proof of their completeness over the appropriate notion of languages, a decision procedure for their equational theory, and tools for exploiting hypotheses of a…
We propose the first steps in the development of a tool to automate the translation of Redex models into a (hopefully) semantically equivalent model in Coq, and to provide tactics to help in the certification of fundamental properties of…
The congruence lattices of all algebras defined on a fixed finite set $A$ ordered by inclusion form a finite atomistic lattice $\mathcal E$. We describe the atoms and coatoms. Each meet-irreducible element of $\mathcal E$ being determined…
We provide a complete classification of solvable instances of the equational unification problem over De Morgan and Kleene algebras with respect to unification type. The key tool is a combinatorial characterization of finitely generated…
We study vertex algebras and their modules associated with possibly degenerate even lattices, using an approach somewhat different from others. Several known results are recovered and a number of new results are obtained. We also study…
We aim at a holistic perspective on program logics, including Hoare and incorrectness logics. To this end, we study different classes of properties arising from the generalization of the aforementioned logics. We compare our results with…
We investigate the star-free closure, which associates to a class of languages its closure under Boolean operations and marked concatenation. We prove that the star-free closure of any finite class and of any class of groups languages with…
