In this paper we address the decision problem for a fragment of set theory with restricted quantification which extends the language studied in [4] with pair related quantifiers and constructs, in view of possible applications in the field…
Representation theory of finite groups portrays a marvelous crossroad of group theory, algebraic combinatorics, and probability. In particular the Plancherel measure is a probability that arises naturally from representation theory, and in…
We consider Presburger arithmetic (PA) extended by scalar multiplication by an algebraic irrational number $\alpha$, and call this extension $\alpha$-Presburger arithmetic ($\alpha$-PA). We show that the complexity of deciding sentences in…
Parametric Presburger arithmetic concerns families of sets S_t in Z^d, for t in N, that are defined using addition, inequalities, constants in Z, Boolean operations, multiplication by t, and quantifiers on variables ranging over Z. That is,…
In this work, we consider the fundamental problem of deriving quantitative bounds on the probability that a given assertion is violated in a probabilistic program. We provide automated algorithms that obtain both lower and upper bounds on…
We propose a measure based upon the fundamental theoretical concept in algorithmic information theory that provides a natural approach to the problem of evaluating $n$-dimensional complexity by using an $n$-dimensional deterministic Turing…
In previous papers on this project a general static logical framework for formalizing and mechanizing set theories of different strength was suggested, and the power of some predicatively acceptable theories in that framework was explored.…
We consider a minimal extension of the language of arithmetic, such that the bounded formulas provably total in a suitably-defined theory \`a la Buss (expressed in this new language) precisely capture polytime random functions. Then, we…
We introduce and study a new complexity function in combinatorics on words, which takes into account the smallest second occurrence time of a factor of an infinite word. We characterize the eventually periodic words and the Sturmian words…
Recently, a novel method based on coding partitions [1]-[4] has been used to derive power series expansions to previously intractable problems. In this method the coefficients at $k$ are determined by summing the contributions made by each…
We will find a lower bound on the recognition complexity of the theories that are nontrivial relative to some equivalence relation (this relation may be equality), namely, each of these theories is consistent with the formula, whose sense…
We address the decision problem for a fragment of real analysis involving differentiable functions with continuous first derivatives. The proposed theory, besides the operators of Tarski's theory of reals, includes predicates for…
We identify a fragment of Presburger arithmetic enriched with free function symbols and cardinality constraints for interpreted sets, which is amenable to automated analysis. We establish decidability and complexity results for such a…
Probabilistic automata are an extension of nondeterministic finite automata in which transitions are annotated with probabilities. Despite its simplicity, this model is very expressive and many of the associated algorithmic questions are…
Let $q$ be an odd prime power. Combining the discussion of Varnavides and a recent theorem of Ellenberg and Gijswijt, we show that a subset $A\subset{\mathbb F}_q^n$ will contain many non-trivial three-term arithmetic progressions, whenever…
In this paper we propose a method for proving some exponential inequalities based on power series expansion and analysis of derivations of the corresponding functions. Our approach provides a simple proof and generates a new class of…
This paper gives a thorough overview of what is known about first-order logic with counting quantifiers and with arithmetic predicates. As a main theorem we show that Presburger arithmetic is closed under unary counting quantifiers.…
In this paper, we propose a decision procedure of reachability for linear system {\xi}' = A{\xi} + u, where the matrix A's eigenvalues can be arbitrary algebraic numbers and the input u is a vector of trigonometric-exponential polynomials.…
This work investigates the algorithmic complexity of non-classical logics, focusing on superintuitionistic and modal systems. It is shown that propositional logics are usually polynomial-time reducible to their fragments with at most two…
In this paper we extend the predicate logic introduced in [Beauquier et al. 2002] in order to deal with Semi-Markov Processes. We prove that with respect to qualitative probabilistic properties, model checking is decidable for this logic…
