We consider distributed model-checking of Monadic Second-Order logic (MSO) on graphs which constitute the topology of communication networks. The graph is thus both the structure being checked and the system on which the distributed…

We show that the model-checking problem for successor-invariant first-order logic is fixed-parameter tractable on graphs with excluded topological subgraphs when parameterised by both the size of the input formula and the size of the…

A strength of parameterized algorithmics is that each problem can be parameterized by an essentially inexhaustible set of parameters. Usually, the choice of the considered parameter is informed by the theoretical relations between…

The mim-width of a graph is a powerful structural parameter that, when bounded by a constant, allows several hard problems to be polynomial-time solvable - with a recent meta-theorem encompassing a large class of problems [SODA2023]. Since…

The test is one of the approaches commonly used for validating systems to ensure qualitative and quantitative implementation requirements. In this paper, we interest in formal testing using graph transformation, thus we propose an approach…

The complexity of the problem of deciding properties expressible in FO logic on graphs -- the FO model checking problem (parameterized by the respective FO formula), is well-understood on so-called sparse graph classes, but much less…

This work proposes an algorithmic framework to learn time-varying graphs from online data. The generality offered by the framework renders it model-independent, i.e., it can be theoretically analyzed in its abstract formulation and then…

We study on which classes of graphs first-order logic (FO) and monadic second-order logic (MSO) have the same expressive power. We show that for all classes C of graphs that are closed under taking subgraphs, FO and MSO have the same…

We study the model checking problem of an extended $\mathsf{MSO}$ with local and global cardinality constraints, called $\mathsf{MSO}^{\mathsf{GL}}_{\mathsf{Lin}}$, introduced recently by Knop, Kouteck\'{y}, Masa\v{r}\'{i}k, and Toufar…

Within the model-theoretic framework for supervised learning introduced by Grohe and Tur\'an (TOCS 2004), we study the parameterized complexity of learning concepts definable in monadic second-order logic (MSO). We show that the problem of…

To enumerate 3-manifold triangulations with a given property, one typically begins with a set of potential face pairing graphs (also known as dual 1-skeletons), and then attempts to flesh each graph out into full triangulations using an…

A temporal graph is a graph in which the edge set can change from one time step to the next. The temporal graph exploration problem TEXP is the problem of computing a foremost exploration schedule for a temporal graph, i.e., a temporal walk…

We give an alternative proof for the existing result that recurrent graph neural networks working with reals have the same expressive power in restriction to monadic second-order logic MSO as the graded modal substitution calculus. The…

A periodic temporal graph, in its simplest form, is a graph in which every edge appears exactly once in the first $\Delta$ time steps, and then it reappears recurrently every $\Delta$ time steps, where $\Delta$ is a given period length.…
