We consider classes of arbitrary (finite or infinite) graphs of bounded shrub-depth, specifically the classes $\mathrm{TM}_r(d)$ of arbitrary graphs that have tree models of height $d$ and $r$ labels. We show that the graphs of…

We introduce a new notion of equivalence of discrete Morse functions on graphs called persistence equivalence. Two functions are considered persistence equivalent if and only if they induce the same persistence diagram. We compare this…

The Pathwidth Theorem states that if a class of graphs has unbounded pathwidth, then it contains all trees as graph minors. We prove a similar result for dense graphs. More precisely, we give a finite family of tree-like patterns and prove…

This paper defines a notion of binding trees that provide a suitable model for second-order type systems with F-bounded quantifiers and equirecursive types. It defines a notion of regular binding trees that correspond in the right way to…

In this paper we study the right differentiability of a parametric infimum function over a parametric set defined by equality constraints. We present a new theorem with sufficient conditions for the right differentiability with respect to…

We study the problem of enumerating the satisfying assignments for circuit classes from knowledge compilation, where assignments are ranked in a specific order. In particular, we show how this problem can be used to efficiently perform…

The ternary relation $B(x,y,z)$ of betweenness states that an element $y$ is between the elements $x$ and $z$, in some sense depending on the considered structure. In a partially ordered set $(N,\leq)$, $B(x,y,z):\Longleftrightarrow…

We describe a translation from a fragment of SUMO (SUMO-K) into higher-order set theory. The translation provides a formal semantics for portions of SUMO which are beyond first-order and which have previously only had an informal…

We show that a polyregular word-to-word function is regular if and only if its output size is at most linear in its input size. Moreover a polyregular function can be realized by: a transducer with two pebbles if and only if its output has…

We study the complexity and expressive power of conjunctive queries over unranked labeled trees represented using a variety of structure relations such as ``child'', ``descendant'', and ``following'' as well as unary relations for node…

For supervised classification problems involving design, control, other practical purposes, users are not only interested in finding a highly accurate classifier, but they also demand that the obtained classifier be easily interpretable.…

We show that the problem of whether a query is equivalent to a query of tree-width $k$ is decidable, for the class of Unions of Conjunctive Regular Path Queries with two-way navigation (UC2RPQs). A previous result by Barcel\'o, Romero, and…

Polyregular functions form a robust class of string-to-string functions with polynomial growth, as evidenced by Bojanczyk (2018). This class admits numerous descriptions and enjoys several closure properties. Most notably, polyregular…

Higher-order unification has been shown to be undecidable. Miller discovered the pattern fragment and subsequently showed that higher-order pattern unification is decidable and has most general unifiers. We extend the algorithm to…

We introduce a model of register automata over infinite trees with extrema constraints. Such an automaton can store elements of a linearly ordered domain in its registers, and can compare those values to the suprema and infima of register…
