We address the reachability problem for continuous-time stochastic dynamic systems. Our objective is to present a unified framework that characterizes the reachable set of a dynamic system in the presence of both stochastic disturbances and…
This paper deals with some reachability issues for piecewise linear switched systems with time-dependent coefficients and multiplicative noise. Namely, it aims at characterizing data that are almost reachable at some fixed time T > 0…
A fundamental question in systems biology is what combinations of mean and variance of the species present in a stochastic biochemical reaction network are attainable by perturbing the system with an external signal. To address this…
This paper deals with the problem of point-to-point reachability in multi-linear systems. These systems consist of a partition of the Euclidean space into a finite number of regions and a constant derivative assigned to each region in the…
The value 1 problem is a decision problem for probabilistic automata over finite words: given a probabilistic automaton, are there words accepted with probability arbitrarily close to 1? This problem was proved undecidable recently; to…
For a given directed tree and weights associated with vertices from a subtree the completion problem is to determine if these weights may be completed in a way to obtain a bounded weighted shift on the whole tree, which possibly satisfies…
Threshold automata are a formalism for modeling and analyzing fault-tolerant distributed algorithms, recently introduced by Konnov, Veith, and Widder, describing protocols executed by a fixed but arbitrary number of processes. We conduct…
We study a family of reachability problems under waiting-time restrictions in temporal and vertex-colored temporal graphs. Given a temporal graph and a set of source vertices, we find the set of vertices that are reachable from a source via…
Neural Networks (NNs) can provide major empirical performance improvements for robotic systems, but they also introduce challenges in formally analyzing those systems' safety properties. In particular, this work focuses on estimating the…
Reachability analysis of hybrid systems has been used as a safety verification tool to assess offline whether the state of a system is capable of remaining within a designated safe region for a given time horizon. Although it has been…
We present a branch-and-bound algorithm for globally solving parabolic optimal control problems with binary switches that have bounded variation and possibly need to satisfy further combinatorial constraints. More precisely, for a given…
A method is presented to obtain an inner-approximation of the backward reachable set (BRS) of a given target tube, along with an admissible controller that maintains trajectories inside this tube. The proposed optimization algorithms are…
A recent work of Abbasi et al. [FOCS 2023] introduced the notion of $\varepsilon$-scatter dimension of a metric space and showed a general framework for efficient parameterized approximation schemes (so-called EPASes) for a wide range of…
The workflow satisfiability problem is concerned with determining whether it is possible to find an allocation of authorized users to the steps in a workflow in such a way that all constraints are satisfied. The problem is NP-hard in…
We give a new proof of the result of Comon and Jurski that the binary reachability relation of a timed automaton is definable in linear arithmetic.
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…
Variational Bayes (VB) is rapidly becoming a popular tool for Bayesian inference in statistical modeling. However, the existing VB algorithms are restricted to cases where the likelihood is tractable, which precludes the use of VB in many…
The value 1 problem is a decision problem for probabilistic automata over finite words: given a probabilistic automaton A, are there words accepted by A with probability arbitrarily close to 1? This problem was proved undecidable recently.…
Some high-dimensional data.sets can be modelled by assuming that there are many different linear constraints, each of which is Frequently Approximately Satisfied (FAS) by the data. The probability of a data vector under the model is then…
Consider an agent traversing a graph of "gadgets", each with local state that changes with each traversal by the agent. We characterize the complexity of universal traversal, where the goal is to traverse every gadget at least once, for DAG…
