To characterize the computational complexity of satisfiability problems for probabilistic and causal reasoning within the Pearl's Causal Hierarchy, arXiv:2305.09508 [cs.AI] introduce a new natural class, named succ-$\exists$R. This class…

Structural subtyping and parametric polymorphism provide similar flexibility and reusability to programmers. For example, both features enable the programmer to provide a wider record as an argument to a function that expects a narrower…

We present a nondeterministic model of computation based on reversing edge directions in weighted directed graphs with minimum in-flow constraints on vertices. Deciding whether this simple graph model can be manipulated in order to reverse…

A specialization semilattice is a structure which can be embedded into $(\mathcal P(X), \cup, \sqsubseteq )$, where $X$ is a topological space, $ x \sqsubseteq y$ means $x \subseteq Ky$, for $x,y \subseteq X$, and $K$ is closure in $X$.…

We study the problem of completely automatically verifying uninterpreted programs---programs that work over arbitrary data models that provide an interpretation for the constants, functions and relations the program uses. The verification…

We show the existence of solution for some classes of nonlocal problems. Our proof combines the presence of sub and supersolution with the pseudomonotone operators theory.

We introduce regular graph constraints and explore their decidability properties. The motivation for regular graph constraints is 1) type checking of changing types of objects in the presence of linked data structures, 2) shape analysis…

The omega-regular separability problem for B\"uchi VASS coverability languages has recently been shown to be decidable, but with an EXPSPACE lower and a non-primitive recursive upper bound -- the exact complexity remained open. We close…

Famous descriptive characterisations of P and PSPACE are restated in terms of the Cook-Nguyen style second order bounded arithmetic. We introduce an axiom of inductive definitions over second order bounded arithmetic. We show that P can be…

Rice's Theorem states that every nontrivial language property of the recursively enumerable sets is undecidable. Borchert and Stephan initiated the search for complexity-theoretic analogs of Rice's Theorem. In particular, they proved that…
