The high complexity of DNS poses unique challenges for ensuring its security and reliability. Despite continuous advances in DNS testing, monitoring, and verification, protocol-level defects still give rise to numerous bugs and attacks. In…
This paper presents the reachability analysis of curves in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with a prescribed curvature bound. Based on Pontryagin Maximum Principle, we leverage the existing knowledge on the structure of solutions to minimum-time problems,…
Reachability analysis is a fundamental problem for safety verification and falsification of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) whose dynamics follow physical laws usually represented as differential equations. In the last two decades, numerous…
We study extensions of Sem\"enov arithmetic, the first-order theory of the structure $(\mathbb{N}, +, 2^x)$. It is well-knonw that this theory becomes undecidable when extended with regular predicates over tuples of number strings, such as…
To better understand quantum computation we can search for its limits or no-gos, especially if analogous limits do not appear in classical computation. Classical computation easily implements and extensively employs the addition of two bit…
This paper investigates one-step backward reachability for uncertain max-plus linear systems with additive disturbances. Given a target set, the problem is to compute the set of states from which there exists an admissible control input…
In the last two decades, there has been much progress on model checking of both probabilistic systems and higher-order programs. In spite of the emergence of higher-order probabilistic programming languages, not much has been done to…
Unordered data Petri nets (UDPN) are an extension of classical Petri nets with tokens that carry data from an infinite domain and where transitions may check equality and disequality of tokens. UDPN are well-structured, so the coverability…
A constant-rate multi-mode system is a hybrid system that can switch freely among a finite set of modes, and whose dynamics is specified by a finite number of real-valued variables with mode-dependent constant rates. Alur, Wojtczak, and…
One often wishes for the ability to formally analyze large-scale systems---typically, however, one can either formally analyze a rather small system or informally analyze a large-scale system. This work tries to further close this…
We introduce a new family of separability criteria that are based on the existence of extensions of a bipartite quantum state $\rho$ to a larger number of parties satisfying certain symmetry properties. It can be easily shown that all…
Geosocial reachability queries (\textsc{RangeReach}) determine whether a given vertex in a geosocial network can reach any spatial vertex within a query region. The state-of-the-art 3DReach method answers such queries by encoding graph…
This paper tackles the problem of the existence of solutions for recursive systems of Horn clauses with second-order variables interpreted as integer relations, and harnessed by quantifier-free difference bounds arithmetic. We start by…
We consider linear cost-register automata (equivalent to weighted automata) over the semiring of nonnegative rationals, which generalise probabilistic automata. The two problems of boundedness and zero isolation ask whether there is a…
In this paper we investigate to which extent a very simple and natural "reachability as deducibility" approach, originated in the research in formal methods in security, is applicable to the automated verification of large classes of…
The decidability of the reachability problem for finitary PCF has been used as a theoretical basis for fully automated verification tools for functional programs. The reachability problem, however, often becomes undecidable for a slight…
We study the truncation error of the COS method and give simple, verifiable conditions that guarantee convergence. In one dimension, COS is admissible when the density belongs to both L1 and L2 and has a finite weighted L2 moment of order…
It is shown that for two large subclasses of discrete-time nonlinear systems - analytic systems defined on a compact state space and rational systems - the minimum length $r^*$ for input sequences, called here accessibility index of the…
In this paper, we propose reachability analysis using constrained polynomial logical zonotopes. We perform reachability analysis to compute the set of states that could be reached. To do this, we utilize a recently introduced set…
We revisit a fundamental result in real-time verification, namely that the binary reachability relation between configurations of a given timed automaton is definable in linear arithmetic over the integers and reals. In this paper we give a…
