Visibly pushdown automata are input-driven pushdown automata that recognize some non-regular context-free languages while preserving the nice closure and decidability properties of finite automata. Visibly pushdown automata with multiple…
Compact representations of automata are important for efficiency. In this paper, we study methods to compute reduced automata, in which no two states accept the same language. We do this for finitary automata (FA), an abstract definition…
After the first treatments of quantum finite state automata by Moore and Crutchfield and by Kondacs and Watrous, a number of papers study the power of quantum finite state automata and their variants. This paper introduces a model of…
This thesis studies the single-use restriction for register automata and transducers over infinite alphabets. The restriction requires that a read-access to a register should have the side effect of destroying its contents. This constraint…
In this paper, different variants of reversible finite automata are compared, and their hierarchy by the expressive power is established. It is shown that one-way reversible automata with multiple initial states (MRFA) recognize strictly…
We introduce higher-dimensional automata for infinite interval ipomsets ($\omega$-HDAs). We define key concepts from different points of view, inspired from their finite counterparts. Then we explore languages recognized by $\omega$-HDAs…
The linear-time simulation of 2-way deterministic pushdown automata (2DPDA) by the Cook and Jones constructions is revisited. Following the semantics-based approach by Jones, an interpreter is given which, when extended with random-access…
Functional transductions realized by two-way transducers (equivalently, by streaming transducers and by MSO transductions) are the natural and standard notion of "regular" mappings from words to words. It was shown recently (LICS'13) that…
Symbolic automata are finite state automata that support potentially infinite alphabets, such as the set of rational numbers, generally applied to regular expressions/languages over finite words. In symbolic automata (or automata modulo…
This is a book on weighted tree automata. We present the basic definitions and some of the important results in a coherent form with full proofs. The concept of weighted tree automata is part of Automata Theory and it touches the area of…
Reaction automata are a formal model that has been introduced to investigate the computing powers of interactive behaviors of biochemical reactions([14]). Reaction automata are language acceptors with multiset rewriting mechanism whose…
We show that bounded-error affine finite automata recognize uncountably many (and so some non-Turing recognizable) languages when using real-valued transitions.
While the complexity of translating future linear temporal logic (LTL) into automata on infinite words is well-understood, the size increase involved in turning automata back to LTL is not. In particular, there is no known elementary bound…
First, we show that universality and other properties of general jumping finite automata are undecidable, which answers a question asked by Meduna and Zemek in 2012. Second, we close the study raised by \v{C}erno and Mr\'{a}z in 2010 by…
In this work, we introduce DeepDFA, a novel approach to identifying Deterministic Finite Automata (DFAs) from traces, harnessing a differentiable yet discrete model. Inspired by both the probabilistic relaxation of DFAs and Recurrent Neural…
In this paper, we show the all final subclass of two-way Watson-Crick automata have the same computational power as the classical two-way Watson-Crick automata. Here we compare the computational power of two-way Watson-Crick automata and…
In the classic problem of sequence prediction, a predictor receives a sequence of values from an emitter and tries to guess the next value before it appears. The predictor masters the emitter if there is a point after which all of the…
We consider a notion of planarity for two-way finite automata and transducers, inspired by Temperley-Lieb monoids of planar diagrams. We show that this restriction captures star-free languages and first-order transductions.
A catalytic Turing machine is a variant of a Turing machine in which there exists an auxiliary tape in addition to the input tape and the work tape. This auxiliary tape is initially filled with arbitrary content. The machine can read and…
Automata admitting at most one accepting run per structure, known as unambiguous automata, find applications in verification of reactive systems as they extend the class of deterministic automata whilst maintaining some of their desirable…
