We study the satisfiability problem of symbolic finite automata and decompose it into the satisfiability problem of the theory of the input characters and the monadic second-order theory of the indices of accepted words. We use our…

We consider a variant of the Boolean satisfiability problem where a subset E of the propositional variables appearing in formula Fsat encode a symmetric, transitive, binary relation over N elements. Each of these relational variables,…

It is known that the satisfiability problems of the product logics K4xS5 and S4xS5 and of the logic SSL of subset spaces are in N2EXPTIME. We improve this upper bound for the complexity of these problems by presenting ESPACE-algorithms for…

The topological interpretation of modal logics provides descriptive languages and proof systems for reasoning about points of topological spaces. Recent work has been devoted to model checking of spatial logics on discrete spatial…

A pushdown vector addition system with states (PVASS) extends the model of vector addition systems with a pushdown store. A PVASS is said to be \emph{bidirected} if every transition (pushing/popping a symbol or modifying a counter) has an…

We prove that Balanced Biclique Reconfiguration on bipartite graphs is PSPACE-complete. This implies the PSPACE-completeness of the spanning variant of Subgraph Reconfiguration under the token jumping rule for the property "a graph is an…

Hybrid logic with binders is an expressive specification language. Its satisfiability problem is undecidable in general. If frames are restricted to N or general linear orders, then satisfiability is known to be decidable, but of…

We propose a modal study of the notion of bisimulation. Our contribution is threefold. First, we extend the basic modal language with a new modality $\nbi$, whose intended meaning is universal quantification over all states that are…

Several fragments of the satisfiability problem have been studied in the literature. Among these, Linear 3-SAT is a satisfaction problem in which each clause (viewed as a set of literals) intersects with at most one other clause; moreover,…

Hemaspaandra~et~al.~[JCSS 2010] conjectured that satisfiability for multi-modal logic restricted to the connectives XOR and 1, over frame classes T, S4, and S5, is solvable in polynomial time. We refute this for S5 frames, by proving…

A pushdown vector addition system with states (PVASS) extends the model of vector addition systems with a pushdown stack. The algorithmic analysis of PVASS has applications such as static analysis of recursive programs manipulating integer…

We investigate the computational complexity of the satisfiability problem of modal inclusion logic. We distinguish two variants of the problem: one for the strict and another one for the lax semantics. Both problems turn out to be…

In this paper, we introduce a lightweight dynamic epistemic logical framework for automated planning under initial uncertainty. We reduce plan verification and conformant planning to model checking problems of our logic. We show that the…

Although Dynamic Epistemic Logic (DEL) is an influential logical framework for representing and reasoning about information change, little is known about the computational complexity of its associated decision problems. In fact, we only…

Knuth (1990) introduced the class of nested formulas and showed that their satisfiability can be decided in polynomial time. We show that, parameterized by the size of a smallest strong backdoor set to the target class of nested formulas,…

The classical satisfiability problem (SAT) is used as a natural and general tool to express and solve combinatorial problems that are in NP. We postulate that provability for implicational intuitionistic propositional logic (IIPC) can serve…
