Infinite-state reactive synthesis has attracted significant attention in recent years, which has led to the emergence of novel symbolic techniques for solving infinite-state games. Temporal logics featuring variables over infinite domains…

2.5 player parity games combine the challenges posed by 2.5 player reachability games and the qualitative analysis of parity games. These two types of problems are best approached with different types of algorithms: strategy improvement…

The performance of two pivoting algorithms, due to Lemke and Cottle and Dantzig, is studied on linear complementarity problems (LCPs) that arise from infinite games, such as parity, average-reward, and discounted games. The algorithms have…

The synthesis of reactive systems from linear temporal logic (LTL) specifications is an important aspect in the design of reliable software and hardware. We present our adaption of the classic automata-theoretic approach to LTL synthesis,…

When reasoning about the strategic capabilities of an agent, it is important to consider the nature of its adversaries. In the particular context of controller synthesis for quantitative specifications, the usual problem is to devise a…

Scenarios, or Message Sequence Charts, offer an intuitive way of describing the desired behaviors of a distributed protocol. In this paper we propose a new way of specifying finite-state protocols using scenarios: we show that it is…

We introduce the concept of structured synthesis for Markov decision processes where the structure is induced from finitely many pre-specified options for a system configuration. The resulting synthesis problem is in general a nonlinear…

The synthesis problem asks for the automatic construction of a system from its specification. In the traditional setting, the system is "constructed from scratch" rather than composed from reusable components. However, this is rare in…

We provide a learning-based technique for guessing a winning strategy in a parity game originating from an LTL synthesis problem. A cheaply obtained guess can be useful in several applications. Not only can the guessed strategy be applied…

We provide an algorithm to find the value and an optimal strategy of the solitaire variant of the Ten Thousand dice game in the framework of Markov Control Processes. Once an optimal critical threshold is found, the set of non-stopping…

The classical LTL synthesis problem is purely qualitative: the given LTL specification is realized or not by a reactive system. LTL is not expressive enough to formalize the correctness of reactive systems with respect to some quantitative…

Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) is a widely studied game that plays an important role in Game Theory. This paper aims at extending PD Tournaments to the case of infinite, finite or infinitesimal payoffs using Sergeyev's Infinity Computing (IC). By…

We study stochastic static teams with countably infinite number of decision makers, with the goal of obtaining (globally) optimal policies under a decentralized information structure. We present sufficient conditions to connect the concepts…

We present a method for synthesizing controllers to steer trajectories from an initial set to a target set on a finite time horizon. The proposed control synthesis problem is decomposed into two steps. The first step under-approximates the…

We present a new algorithm to solve the supervisory control problem over non-terminating processes modeled as $\omega$-regular automata. A solution to this problem was obtained by Thistle in 1995 which uses complex manipulations of…

Markov decision processes (MDP) are finite-state systems with both strategic and probabilistic choices. After fixing a strategy, an MDP produces a sequence of probability distributions over states. The sequence is eventually synchronizing…

We study Markov decision processes and turn-based stochastic games with parity conditions. There are three qualitative winning criteria, namely, sure winning, which requires all paths must satisfy the condition, almost-sure winning, which…

Infinite-state games provide a framework for the synthesis of reactive systems with unbounded data domains. Solving such games typically relies on computing symbolic fixpoints, particularly symbolic attractors. However, these computations…

We present algorithms to synthesize component-based systems that are safe and deadlock-free using priorities, which define stateless-precedence between enabled actions. Our core method combines the concept of fault-localization (using…

We introduce games with probabilistic uncertainty, a natural model for controller synthesis in which the controller observes the state of the system through imprecise sensors that provide correct information about the current state with a…
