In this paper we introduce a new network reachability problem where the goal is to find the most reliable path between two nodes in a network, represented as a directed acyclic graph. Individual edges within this network may fail according…
We present an approach to approximate reachable sets for linear systems with bounded L-infinity controls in finite time. Our first approach investigates the boundaries of these sets and reveals an exact characterization for single-input,…
Regular model checking is a well-established technique for the verification of regular transition systems (RTS): transition systems whose initial configurations and transition relation can be effectively encoded as regular languages. In…
Real-world applications such as the internet of things, wireless sensor networks, smart grids, transportation networks, communication networks, social networks, and computer grid systems are typically modeled as network structures. Network…
Detectability describes the property of a system to uniquely determine, after a finite number of observations, the current and subsequent states. In this paper, to reduce the complexity of checking the detectability properties in the…
We study the qualitative and quantitative zero-reachability problem in probabilistic multi-counter systems. We identify the undecidable variants of the problems, and then we concentrate on the remaining two cases. In the first case, when we…
We consider reachability in dynamical systems with discrete linear updates, but with fixed digital precision, i.e., such that values of the system are rounded at each step. Given a matrix $M \in \mathbb{Q}^{d \times d}$, an initial vector…
The probabilistic reachability problems of nondeterministic systems are studied. Based on the existing studies, the definition of probabilistic reachable sets is generalized by taking into account time-varying target set and obstacle. A…
We introduce weighted one-deterministic-counter automata (ODCA). These are weighted one-counter automata (OCA) with the property of counter-determinacy, meaning that all paths labelled by a given word starting from the initial configuration…
Nested counter systems (NCS) are a generalization of counter systems to higher-order counters. Here, a higher-order counter is allowed to have other (lower-order) counters as elements, instead of just a number. Such systems can be viewed as…
We study valence systems, finite-control programs over infinite-state memories modeled in terms of graph monoids. Our contribution is a notion of bounded context switching (BCS). Valence systems generalize pushdowns, concurrent pushdowns,…
We investigate the complexity of the reachability problem for (deep) neural networks: does it compute valid output given some valid input? It was recently claimed that the problem is NP-complete for general neural networks and conjunctive…
A crucial question in analyzing a concurrent system is to determine its long-run behaviour, and in particular, whether there are irreversible choices in its evolution, leading into parts of the reachability space from which there is no…
Numerous properties of vector addition systems with states amount to checking the (un)boundedness of some selective feature (e.g., number of reversals, run length). Some of these features can be checked in exponential space by using…
One of the most important problems in hybrid systems is the {\em reachability problem}. The reachability problem has been shown to be undecidable even for a subclass of {\em linear} hybrid systems. In view of this, the main focus in the…
The problem of (approximately) counting the independent sets of a bipartite graph (#BIS) is the canonical approximate counting problem that is complete in the intermediate complexity class #RH\Pi_1. It is believed that #BIS does not have an…
We prove the #P-hardness of the counting problems associated with various satisfiability, graph and combinatorial problems, when restricted to planar instances. These problems include \begin{romannum} \item[{}] {\sc 3Sat, 1-3Sat, 1-Ex3Sat,…

We study the complexity of approximating the number of answers to a small query $\varphi$ in a large database $\mathcal{D}$. We establish an exhaustive classification into tractable and intractable cases if $\varphi$ is a conjunctive query…
We consider the reachability relation of pushdown systems whose pushdown holds a Mazurkiewicz trace instead of just a word as in classical systems. Under two natural conditions on the transition structure of such systems, we prove that the…
