Weighted timed automata have been defined in the early 2000's for modelling resource-consumption or -allocation problems in real-time systems. Optimal reachability is decidable in weighted timed automata, and a symbolic forward algorithm…

The Recognizability Theorem states that if a set of finite graphs is definable by a monadic second-order (MSO) sentence, then it is recognizable with respect to the graph algebra upon which the definition of clique-width is based.…

We present an algorithm to build an automaton from a rational expression. This approach introduces support for extended weighted expressions. Inspired by derived-term based algorithms, its core relies on a different construct, rational…

We study a categorical generalisation of tree automata, as $\Sigma$-algebras for a fixed endofunctor $\Sigma$ endowed with initial and final states. Under mild assumptions about the base category, we present a general minimisation algorithm…

In this paper we review algorithms for checking diagnosability of discrete-event systems and timed automata. We point out that the diagnosability problems in both cases reduce to the emptiness problem for (timed) B\"uchi automata. Moreover,…

Given two weighted automata, we consider the problem of whether one is big-O of the other, i.e., if the weight of every finite word in the first is not greater than some constant multiple of the weight in the second. We show that the…

The field of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) studies homomorphism problems between relational structures where the target structure is fixed. Classifying the complexity of these problems has been a central quest of the field,…

Deterministic one-way time-bounded multi-counter automata are studied with respect to their ability to perform reversible computations, which means that the automata are also backward deterministic and, thus, are able to uniquely step the…

We give a new proof of the decidability of reachability in alternating pushdown systems, showing that it is a simple consequence of a cut-elimination theorem for some natural-deduction style inference systems. Then, we show how this result…

In this paper, we investigate the structure of the most general kind of substitution shifts, including non-minimal ones, and allowing erasing morphisms. We prove the decidability of many properties of these morphisms with respect to the…

We introduce saturation of nondeterministic tree automata, a technique that consists of adding new transitions to an automaton while preserving its language. We implemented our algorithm on minotaut - a module of the tree automata library…

An automaton is history-deterministic if its nondeterminism can be resolved on the fly, only using the prefix of the word read so far. This mild form of nondeterminism has attracted particular attention for its applications in synthesis…

Parametric timed automata extend the standard timed automata with the possibility to use parameters in the clock guards. In general, if the parameters are real-valued, the problem of language emptiness of such automata is undecidable even…
