Complementation of B\"uchi automata is an essential technique used in some approaches for termination analysis of programs. The long search for an optimal complementation construction climaxed with the work of Schewe, who proposed a…

We present the tool Ranker for complementing B\"uchi automata (BAs). Ranker builds on our previous optimizations of rank-based BA complementation and pushes them even further using numerous heuristics to produce even smaller automata.…

Complementation of B\"uchi automata has been studied for over five decades since the formalism was introduced in 1960. Known complementation constructions can be classified into Ramsey-based, determinization-based, rank-based, and…

We compare tools for complementing nondeterministic B\"uchi automata with a recent termination-analysis algorithm. Complementation of B\"uchi automata is a key step in program verification. Early constructions using a Ramsey-based argument…

Complementation of B\"uchi automata, required for checking automata containment, is of major theoretical and practical interest in formal verification. We consider two recent approaches to complementation. The first is the rank-based…

The precise complexity of complementing B\"uchi automata is an intriguing and long standing problem. While optimal complementation techniques for finite automata are simple - it suffices to determinize them using a simple subset…

We propose several heuristics for mitigating one of the main causes of combinatorial explosion in rank-based complementation of B\"{u}chi automata (BAs): unnecessarily high bounds on the ranks of states. First, we identify elevator…

In this work, we exploit the power of \emph{finite ambiguity} for the complementation problem of B\"uchi automata by using reduced run directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) over infinite words, in which each vertex has at most one predecessor;…

In this work, we exploit the power of \emph{unambiguity} for the complementation problem of B\"uchi automata by utilizing reduced run directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) over infinite words, in which each vertex has at most one predecessor. We…

Complementation of nondeterministic B\"uchi automata (BAs) is an important problem in automata theory with numerous applications in formal verification, such as termination analysis of programs, model checking, or in decision procedures of…

In this work, we present multiple new optimizations and heuristics for the determinization of B\"uchi automata that exploit a number of semantic and structural properties, most of which may be applied together with any determinization…

In this paper, we first introduce a lower bound technique for the state complexity of transformations of automata. Namely we suggest first considering the class of full automata in lower bound analysis, and later reducing the size of the…

We give new constructions for complementing subclasses of Emerson-Lei automata using modifications of rank-based B\"uchi automata complementation. In particular, we propose a specialized rank-based construction for a Boolean combination of…

We present an efficient algorithm to reduce the size of nondeterministic Buchi word automata, while retaining their language. Additionally, we describe methods to solve PSPACE-complete automata problems like universality, equivalence and…

We follow a connection between tight determinisation and complementation and establish a complementation procedure from parity automata to nondeterministic B\"uchi automata and prove it to be tight up to an $O(n)$ factor, where $n$ is the…

The low-rank matrix completion problem can be solved by Riemannian optimization on a fixed-rank manifold. However, a drawback of the known approaches is that the rank parameter has to be fixed a priori. In this paper, we consider the…

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…

We propose a computational framework for computing low-rank approximations to the ensemble of solutions of a parametrized system of the form $A(\xi)x(\xi)+g(x(\xi))=b(\xi)$ for multiple parameter values. The central idea is to reinterpret…

We introduce a novel technique to analyse unambiguous B\"uchi automata quantitatively, and apply this to the model checking problem. It is based on linear-algebra arguments that originate from the analysis of matrix semigroups with constant…

The matrix completion problem consists of finding or approximating a low-rank matrix based on a few samples of this matrix. We propose a new algorithm for matrix completion that minimizes the least-square distance on the sampling set over…
