The Logic of Proofs, LP, and its successor, Justification Logic, is a refinement of the modal logic approach to epistemology in which proofs/justifications are taken into account. In 2000 Kuznets showed that satisfiability for LP is in the…

The notion of bounded expansion captures uniform sparsity of graph classes and renders various algorithmic problems that are hard in general tractable. In particular, the model-checking problem for first-order logic is fixed-parameter…

We introduce a modal logic, called Cone Logic, whose formulas describe properties of points in the plane and spatial relationships between them. Points are labelled by proposition letters and spatial relations are induced by the four…

Properties of steady compressible flow for which geometric constraints have been placed on the potential function are derived, under hypotheses on the flow density and the singular set. Some related unconstrained problems are also…

We investigate the decidability of the ${0,\infty}$ fragment of Timed Propositional Temporal Logic (TPTL). We show that the satisfiability checking of TPTL$^{0,\infty}$ is PSPACE-complete. Moreover, even its 1-variable fragment…

Computational feasibility is a widespread concern that guides the framing and modeling of biological and artificial intelligence. The specification of cognitive system capacities is often shaped by unexamined intuitive assumptions about the…

This article is devoted to the well-posedness of the stochastic compressible Navier Stokes equations. We establish the global existence of an appropriate class of weak solutions emanating from large inital data, set within a bounded domain.…

We give new lower bounds for the (higher) topological complexity of a space, in terms of the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a certain auxiliary space. We also give new lower bounds for the rational topological complexity of a space, and…

We present new results on finite satisfiability of logics with counting and arithmetic. One result is a tight bound on the complexity of satisfiability of logics with so-called local Presburger quantifiers, which sum over neighbors of a…

We investigate algorithmic control of a large swarm of mobile particles (such as robots, sensors, or building material) that move in a 2D workspace using a global input signal (such as gravity or a magnetic field). We show that a maze of…

We study the satisfiability problem for the fluted fragment extended with transitive relations. The logic enjoys the finite model property when only one transitive relation is available and the finite model property is lost when…

The central open question in Descriptive Complexity is whether there is a logic that characterizes deterministic polynomial time (PTIME) on relational structures. Towards this goal, we define a logic that is obtained from first-order logic…

This article presents a technique for proving problems hard for classes of the polynomial hierarchy or for PSPACE. The rationale of this technique is that some problem restrictions are able to simulate existential or universal quantifiers.…

Modal logics are widely used in computer science. The complexity of their satisfiability problems has been an active field of research since the 1970s. We prove that even very "simple" modal logics can be undecidable: We show that there is…

The determinisation problem for min-plus (tropical) weighted automata was recently shown to be decidable. However, the proof is purely existential, relying on several non-constructive arguments. Our contribution in this work is twofold:…
