Temporal stream logic (TSL) extends LTL with updates and predicates over arbitrary function terms. This allows for specifying data-intensive systems for which LTL is not expressive enough. In the semantics of TSL, functions and predicates…
Metastability is a spurious mode of operation in digital signals, where an electrical signal fails to settle into a stable state within a specified time, leading to uncertainty and potentially failing downstream hardware. A system that…
Locally Checkable Labeling (LCL) problems include essentially all the classic problems of $\mathsf{LOCAL}$ distributed algorithms. In a recent enlightening revelation, Chang and Pettie [arXiv 1704.06297] showed that any LCL (on bounded…
Due to Savitch's theorem we know $NL\subseteq DSPACE(\log^2(n))$. To show this upper bound, Savitch constructed an algorithm with $O(\log^2(n))$ space on the working tape. We will show that Savitch's algorithm also described a lower bound…
Over the past decade, a long line of research has investigated the distributed complexity landscape of locally checkable labeling (LCL) problems on bounded-degree graphs, culminating in an almost-complete classification on general graphs…
We propose to demonstrate a network slice placement optimization solution based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL), referred to as Heuristically-controlled DRL, which uses a heuristic to control the DRL algorithm convergence. The solution…
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…
Signal Temporal Logic (STL) offers a concise yet expressive framework for specifying and reasoning about spatio-temporal behaviors of robotic systems. Attractively, STL admits the notion of robustness, the degree to which an input signal…

Solving the shortest path and the min-cut problems are key in achieving high performance and robust communication networks. Those problems have often beeny studied in deterministic and independent networks both in their original…
Infinite loops and redundant computations are long recognized open problems in Prolog. Two ways have been explored to resolve these problems: loop checking and tabling. Loop checking can cut infinite loops, but it cannot be both sound and…
Many classical and modern machine learning algorithms require solving optimization tasks under orthogonality constraints. Solving these tasks with feasible methods requires a gradient descent update followed by a retraction operation on the…
In this paper, we make use of the Metropolis-type walks due to Nonaka et al. (2010) to provide a faster solution to the $S$-$T$-connectivity problem in undirected graphs (USTCON). As our main result, we propose a family of randomized…
We study in this article the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a class of stochastic transport equations with irregular coefficients and unbounded divergence. In the first result we assume the drift is $L^{2}([0,T] \times \R^{d})\cap…
We study an optimal control problem aimed at achieving a desired tradeoff between the network coherence and communication requirements in the distributed controller. Our objective is to add a certain number of edges to an undirected…
In the Priority Steiner Tree (PST) problem, we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with a source $s \in V$ and terminals $T \subseteq V \setminus \{s\}$, where each terminal $v \in T$ requires a nonnegative priority $P(v)$. The goal is…
We show that Neural ODEs, an emerging class of time-continuous neural networks, can be verified by solving a set of global-optimization problems. For this purpose, we introduce Stochastic Lagrangian Reachability (SLR), an abstraction-based…

The problem of orienting the edges of an undirected graph such that the resulting digraph is acyclic and has a single source s and a single sink t has a long tradition in graph theory and is central to many graph drawing algorithms. Such an…
We say that a tree $T$ is an $S$-Steiner tree if $S \subseteq V(T)$ and a hypergraph is an $S$-Steiner hypertree if it can be trimmed to an $S$-Steiner tree. We prove that it is NP-complete to decide, given a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ and…
