The Lov\'asz Local Lemma is a versatile result in probability theory, characterizing circumstances in which a collection of $n$ `bad events', each occurring with probability at most $p$ and dependent on a set of underlying random variables,…

It is well known that for a regular tree language it is decidable whether or not it can be recognized by a deterministic top-down tree automaton (DTA). However, the computational complexity of this problem has not been studied. We show that…

We introduce a novel parsing concept called local lexing. It integrates the classically separated stages of lexing and parsing by allowing lexing to be dependent upon the parsing progress and by providing a simple mechanism for constraining…

We consider an extension of linear-time temporal logic (LTL) with both local and remote data constraints interpreted over a concrete domain. This extension is a natural extension of constraint LTL and the Temporal Logic of Repeating Values,…

A condition characterizing the class of regular languages which have several nonisomorphic minimal reversible automata is presented. The condition concerns the structure of the minimum automaton accepting the language under consideration.…

Word complexity is defined in a number of different ways. Psycholinguistic, morphological and lexical proxies are often used. Human ratings are also used. The problem here is that these proxies do not measure complexity directly, and human…

Runtime verification encompasses several lightweight techniques for checking whether a system's current execution satisfies a given specification. We focus on runtime verification for Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). Previous work describes…

We consider systems composed of an unbounded number of uniformly designed linear hybrid automata, whose dynamic behavior is determined by their relation to neighboring systems. We present a class of such systems and a class of safety…

Given a finite alphabet $A$, a quasi-metric $d$ over $A^*$, and a non-negative integer $k$, we introduce the relation $\tau_{d,k}\subseteq A^*\times A^*$ such that $(x,y)\in\tau_{d,k}$ holds whenever $d(x,y)\le k$. The error detection…

The states of a deterministic finite automaton A can be identified with collections of words in Pf(L(A)) -- the set of prefixes of words belonging to the regular language accepted by A. But words can be ordered and among the many possible…

Recently, a plethora of works have proposed inference-time algorithms (e.g. best-of-n), which incorporate verifiers to assist the generation process. Their quality-efficiency trade-offs have been empirically benchmarked on a variety of…

A regular language $L$ is union-free if it can be represented by a regular expression without the union operation. A union-free language is deterministic if it can be accepted by a deterministic one-cycle-free-path finite automaton; this is…

For a class L of languages let PDL[L] be an extension of Propositional Dynamic Logic which allows programs to be in a language of L rather than just to be regular. If L contains a non-regular language, PDL[L] can express non-regular…

It is well known that for a given bottom-up tree automaton it can be decided whether or not there exists deterministic top-down tree automaton that recognized the same tree language. Recently it was claimed that such a decision can be…

Program completion is a translation from the language of logic programs into the language of first-order theories. Its original definition has been extended to programs that include integer arithmetic, accept input, and distinguish between…

We study the problem of regular separability of languages of vector addition systems with states (VASS). It asks whether for two given VASS languages K and L, there exists a regular language R that includes K and is disjoint from L. While…

At first glance, one-state Turing machines are very weak: the halting problem for them is decidable, and, without memory, they cannot even accept a simple one element language such as $L = \{ 1 \}$ . Nevertheless it has been showed that a…
