While the $\mu$-calculus notoriously subsumes Alternating-time Temporal Logic (ATL), we show that the epistemic $\mu$-calculus does not subsume ATL with imperfect information (ATL$_i$) for the synchronous perfect-recall semantics. To prove…
The high availability and scalability of weakly-consistent systems attracts system designers. Yet, writing correct application code for this type of systems is difficult; even how to specify the intended behavior of such systems is still an…
We propose a formal proof of the undecidability of the model checking problem for alternating- time temporal logic under imperfect information and perfect recall semantics. This problem was announced to be undecidable according to a…
In this paper, we are concerned with stable solutions , possibly unbounded and sign-changing, of some semi-linear elliptic problem with mixed nonlinear boundary conditions. We establish the nonexistence of stable solutions, the main methods…
We give an exact characterization of the computational complexity of the $k$CFA hierarchy. For any $k > 0$, we prove that the control flow decision problem is complete for deterministic exponential time. This theorem validates empirical…
We study the problem of policy optimization (PO) with linear temporal logic (LTL) constraints. The language of LTL allows flexible description of tasks that may be unnatural to encode as a scalar cost function. We consider LTL-constrained…
This paper contains two results on timed extensions of pushdown automata (PDA). As our first result we prove that the model of dense-timed PDA of Abdulla et al. collapses: it is expressively equivalent to dense-timed PDA with timeless…
Interval Temporal Logic (ITL) is an established temporal formalism for reasoning about time periods. For over 25 years, it has been applied in a number of ways and several ITL variants, axiom systems and tools have been investigated. We…
For strictly entropic Riemann shock solutions of strictly hyperbolic systems of balance laws, we prove that exponential spectral stability implies large-time asymptotic orbital stability. As a preparation, we also prove similar results for…
In the context of ontology-mediated querying with description logics (DLs), we study the data complexity of queries in which selected predicates can be closed (OMQCs). We provide a non-uniform analysis, aiming at a classification of the…
We show that ESO universal Horn logic (existential second logic where the first order part is a universal Horn formula) is insufficient to capture P, the class of problems decidable in polynomial time. This statement is true in the presence…
Partially ordered models of time occur naturally in applications where agents or processes cannot perfectly communicate with each other, and can be traced back to the seminal work of Lamport. In this paper we consider the problem of…
For two linear evolution differential equations systems - a normal ordinary differential equations system and a partial differential equations system with Stokes operator in a main part - with rapidly oscillating by time coefficients in a…
It is known that the satisfiability problems of the product logics K4xS5 and S4xS5 are NEXPTIME-hard and that the satisfiability problem of the logic SSL of subset spaces is PSPACE-hard. We improve these lower bounds for the complexity of…
Probabilistic timed automata are an extension of timed automata with discrete probability distributions. We consider model-checking algorithms for the subclasses of probabilistic timed automata which have one or two clocks. Firstly, we show…
Recently, \citet{SuttonMW15} introduced the emphatic temporal differences (ETD) algorithm for off-policy evaluation in Markov decision processes. In this short note, we show that the projected fixed-point equation that underlies ETD…
In this paper it is shown that unique solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation exist for all time and decay with any polynomial rate towards their steady state relativistic Maxwellian provided that the initial data starts out…
The paper is focused on temporal logics for the description of the behaviour of real-time pushdown reactive systems. The paper is motivated to bridge tractable logics specialized for expressing separately dense-time real-time properties and…
Our concern is the problem of determining the data complexity of answering an ontology-mediated query (OMQ) formulated in linear temporal logic LTL over (Z,<) and deciding whether it is rewritable to an FO(<)-query, possibly with some extra…
Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) is a prominent specification formalism for real-time systems. In this paper, we show that the satisfiability problem for MTL over finite timed words is decidable, with non-primitive recursive complexity. We also…
