Dependently-typed proof assistants furnish expressive foundations for mechanised mathematics and verified software. However, automation for these systems has been either modest in scope or complex in implementation. We aim to improve the…

The value 1 problem is a decision problem for probabilistic automata over finite words: given a probabilistic automaton, are there words accepted with probability arbitrarily close to 1? This problem was proved undecidable recently; to…

In many instances in first order logic or computable algebra, classical theorems show that many problems are undecidable for general structures, but become decidable if some rigidity is imposed on the structure. For example, the set of…

Families of deterministic finite automata (FDFA) represent regular $\omega$-languages through their ultimately periodic words (UP-words). An FDFA accepts pairs of words, where the first component corresponds to a prefix of the UP-word, and…

On the one hand, ordered completion is a fundamental technique in equational theorem proving that is employed by automated tools. On the other hand, their complexity makes such tools inherently error prone. As a remedy to this situation we…

Models of complicated systems can be represented in different ways - in scientific papers, they are represented using natural language text as well as equations. But to be of real use, they must also be implemented as software, thus making…

We characterize the fixed sets of automorphisms of an arbitrary countable, arithmetically saturated structure.

Affine automata provide a finite-state computational model that preserves the linear-algebraic structure of quantum computation while operating entirely over the reals. Recent work has shown that affine automata can far surpass classical…

SMT-based program analysis and verification often involve reasoning about program features that have been specified using quantifiers; incorporating quantifiers into SMT-based reasoning is, however, known to be challenging. If quantifier…

Quantifier elimination theorems show that each formula in a certain theory is equivalent to a formula of a specific form -- usually a quantifier-free one, sometimes in an extended language. Model theoretic embedding tests are a frequently…

There are many evaluation strategies for term rewrite systems, but proving termination automatically is usually easiest for innermost rewriting. Several syntactic criteria exist when innermost termination implies full termination. We adapt…
