This work is a study of the expressive power of unambiguity in the case of automata over infinite trees. An automaton is called unambiguous if it has at most one accepting run on every input, the language of such an automaton is called an…
Infinite words over infinite alphabets serve as models of the temporal development of the allocation and (re-)use of resources over linear time. We approach omega-languages over infinite alphabets in the setting of nominal sets, and study…
Symbolic automata are finite state automata that support potentially infinite alphabets, such as the set of rational numbers, generally applied to regular expressions/languages over finite words. In symbolic automata (or automata modulo…
Despite its success in producing numerous general results on state-based dynamics, the theory of coalgebra has struggled to accommodate the Buechi acceptance condition---a basic notion in the theory of automata for infinite words or trees.…
Probabilistic automata are an extension of nondeterministic finite automata in which transitions are annotated with probabilities. Despite its simplicity, this model is very expressive and many of the associated algorithmic questions are…
Parallel real-time systems (e.g., autonomous driving systems) often contain functionalities with complex dependencies and execution uncertainties, leading to significant timing variability which can be represented as a probabilistic…
A coloring of edges of a finite directed graph turns the graph into finite-state automaton. The synchronizing word of a deterministic automaton is a word in the alphabet of colors (considered as letters) of its edges that maps the automaton…
Computation in several real-world applications like probabilistic machine learning, sparse linear algebra, and robotic navigation, can be modeled as irregular directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). The irregular data dependencies in DAGs pose…
In this paper we revisit Safra's determinization constructions for automata on infinite words. We show how to construct deterministic automata with fewer states and, most importantly, parity acceptance conditions. Determinization is used in…
Pecan is an automated theorem prover for reasoning about properties of Sturmian words, an important object in the field of combinatorics on words. It is capable of efficiently proving non-trivial mathematical theorems about all Sturmian…
We study alternating parity good-for-games (GFG) automata, i.e., alternating parity automata where both conjunctive and disjunctive choices can be resolved in an online manner, without knowledge of the suffix of the input word still to be…
We present efficient algorithms to reduce the size of nondeterministic B\"uchi word automata (NBA) and nondeterministic finite word automata (NFA), while retaining their languages. Additionally, we describe methods to solve PSPACE-complete…
Given a string $T$, it is known that its suffix tree can be represented using the compact directed acyclic word graph (CDAWG) with $e_T$ arcs, taking overall $O(e_T+e_{{\overline{T}}})$ words of space, where ${\overline{T}}$ is the reverse…
An {\omega}-language is a set of infinite words over a finite alphabet X. We consider the class of recursive {\omega}-languages, i.e. the class of {\omega}-languages accepted by Turing machines with a B\"uchi acceptance condition, which is…
A non-deterministic automaton running on infinite trees is unambiguous if it has at most one accepting run on every tree. The class of languages recognisable by unambiguous tree automata is still not well-understood. In particular,…
Complementation of finite automata is a basic operation used in numerous applications. The standard way to complement a nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA) is to transform it into an equivalent deterministic finite automaton (DFA) and…
Deterministic finite automata are one of the simplest and most practical models of computation studied in automata theory. Their conceptual extension is the non-deterministic finite automata which also have plenty of applications. In this…
Although automated reasoning with diagrams has been possible for some years, tools for diagrammatic reasoning are generally much less sophisticated than their sentential cousins. The tasks of exploring levels of automation and abstraction…
B\"uchi arithmetics BA_n, n >= 2, are extensions of Presburger arithmetic with an unary functional symbol V_n(x) denoting the largest power of n that divides x. Definability of a set in BA_n is equivalent to its recognizability by a finite…
Chains of co-B\"uchi automata (COCOA) have recently been introduced as a new canonical model for representing arbitrary omega-regular languages. They can be minimized in polynomial time and are hence an attractive language representation…
