In the past decade, many techniques have been developed to prove linearizability, the gold standard of correctness for concurrent data structures. Intuitively, linearizability requires that every operation on a concurrent data structure…

In this paper, we consider the supervised pre-trained transformer for a class of sequential decision-making problems. The class of considered problems is a subset of the general formulation of reinforcement learning in that there is no…

Tightness remains the center quest in all modern estimation bounds. For very weak signals, this is made possible with judicial choices of prior probability distribution and bound family. While current bounds in GNSS assess performance of…

A lot of research activity has recently taken place around the chase procedure, due to its usefulness in data integration, data exchange, query optimization, peer data exchange and data correspondence, to mention a few. As the chase has…

Runtime predictive analyses enhance coverage of traditional dynamic analyses based bug detection techniques by identifying a space of feasible reorderings of the observed execution and determining if any of these witnesses the violation of…

The undecidability of basic decision problems for general FIFO machines such as reachability and unboundedness is well-known. In this paper, we provide an underapproximation for the general model by considering only runs that are…

This paper considers discrete-time linear systems with bounded additive disturbances, and studies the convergence properties of the backward reachable sets of robust controlled invariant sets (RCIS). Under a simple condition, we prove that…

First-order linear real arithmetic enriched with uninterpreted predicate symbols yields an interesting modeling language. However, satisfiability of such formulas is undecidable, even if we restrict the uninterpreted predicate symbols to…

We propose trace pursuit for model-free variable selection under the sufficient dimension reduction paradigm. Two distinct algorithms are proposed: stepwise trace pursuit and forward trace pursuit. Stepwise trace pursuit achieves selection…

For Finite State Machines (FSMs) a rich testing theory has been developed to discover aspects of their behavior and ensure their correct functioning. Although this theory is widely used, e.g., to check conformance of protocol…

Timed automata (TAs) are a common formalism for modeling timed systems. Bounded model checking (BMC) is a verification method that searches for runs violating a property using a SAT or SMT solver. MITL is a real-time extension of the linear…

Bi-Intuitionistic Stable Tense Logics (BIST Logics) are tense logics with a Kripke semantics where worlds in a frame are equipped with a pre-order as well as with an accessibility relation which is 'stable' with respect to this pre-order.…

This paper addresses the quantitative verification of finite-time constrained occupation time for stochastic continuous-time systems governed by stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Unlike classical reachability analysis, which focuses…

We systematically investigate the complexity of model checking the existential positive fragment of first-order logic. In particular, for a set of existential positive sentences, we consider model checking where the sentence is restricted…

The energy transition is causing many stability-related challenges for power systems. Transient stability refers to the ability of a power grid's bus angles to retain synchronism after the occurrence of a major fault. In this paper a…

We consider the problem of model--checking for Process Rewrite Systems (PRSs) in normal form. In a PRS in normal form every rewrite rule either only deals with procedure calls and procedure termination, possibly with value return, (this…

Any reinforcement learning system must be able to identify which past events contributed to observed outcomes, a problem known as credit assignment. A common solution to this problem is to use an eligibility trace to assign credit to…

Motion of particles (bodies) in presence of random effects can be considered stochastic process. However, application of widely known stochastic processes used for description of particle motion is reduced to relatively small class of…

Two of the most studied extensions of trace and testing equivalences to nondeterministic and probabilistic processes induce distinctions that have been questioned and lack properties that are desirable. Probabilistic trace-distribution…

In this paper, we study the weighted difference substitutions from geometrical views. First, we give the geometric meanings of the weighted difference substitutions, and introduce the concept of convergence of the sequence of substitution…
