This survey is intended to be a fast (and reasonably updated) reference for the theory of Stallings automata and its applications to the study of subgroups of the free group, with the main accent on algorithmic aspects. Consequently,…
We study two techniques to obtain new families of classical and general Dual-Feasible Functions: A conversion from minimal Gomory--Johnson functions; and computer-based search using polyhedral computation and an automatic maximality and…
We define a new kind of automata recognizing properties of data words or data trees and prove that the automata capture all queries definable in Regular XPath. We show that the automata-theoretic approach may be applied to answer…
This paper revisits the notion of classical orthogonal polynomials from a broader functional-analytic point of view. It is intended neither as a survey of known results nor as a review of the literature, but rather as a conceptual…
We study the computational power of real-time finite automata that have been augmented with a vector of dimension k, and programmed to multiply this vector at each step by an appropriately selected $k \times k$ matrix. Only one entry of the…
This paper studies the problem of learning weighted automata from a finite labeled training sample. We consider several general families of weighted automata defined in terms of three different measures: the norm of an automaton's weights,…
In this paper we study finite higher-dimensional automata (HDAs) from the logical point of view. Languages of HDAs are sets of finite bounded-width interval pomsets with interfaces (iiPoms<=k) closed under order extension. We prove that…
This paper studies infinite graphs produced from a natural unfolding operation applied to finite graphs. Graphs produced via such operations are of finite degree and automatic over the unary alphabet (that is, they can be described by…
In this paper, we propose and investigate algorithms for the structured orthogonal dictionary learning problem. First, we investigate the case when the dictionary is a Householder matrix. We give sample complexity results and show…
We investigate the orthoalgebras of certain non-Boolean models which have a classical realization. Our particular concern will be the partition logics arising from the investigation of the empirical propositional structure of Moore and…
In this paper we study the equivalence of nondeterministic automata pairing the concept of a bisimulation with the recently introduced concept of a uniform relation. In this symbiosis, uniform relations serve as equivalence relations which…
We introduced a family of infinite graphs directly associated with a class of von Neumann automaton model A_{G}. These are finite state models used in symbolic dynamics: stimuli models and in control theory. In the context of groupoid von…
This thesis investigates the central role of homomorphism problems (structure-preserving maps) in two complementary domains: database querying over finite, graph-shaped data, and constraint solving over (potentially infinite) structures.…
In this paper we characterize the congruence associated to the direct sum of all irreducible representations of a finite semigroup over an arbitrary field, generalizing results of Rhodes for the field of complex numbers. Applications are…
We introduce regular languages of morphisms in free monoidal categories, with their associated grammars and automata. These subsume the classical theory of regular languages of words and trees, but also open up a much wider class of…
Forest automata (FA) have recently been proposed as a tool for shape analysis of complex heap structures. FA encode sets of tree decompositions of heap graphs in the form of tuples of tree automata. In order to allow for representing…
This thesis is focused on techniques for finite automata and their use in practice, with the main emphasis on nondeterministic tree automata. This concerns namely techniques for size reduction and language inclusion testing, which are two…
We realize constant-space quantum computation by measure-many two-way quantum finite automata and evaluate their language recognition power by analyzing patterns of their exotic behaviors and by exploring their structural properties. In…
Expanding upon recent work, a new class of $A$-functions is introduced that can be viewed as an appropriate generalization of the class of regular $A$-functions, the class of structured $A$-functions, and the class of perfect $A$-functions.…
We examine different generalizations of checking stack automata by allowing multiple input heads and multiple stacks, and characterize their computing power in terms of two-way multi-head finite automata and space-bounded Turing machines.…
