Model Checking the Quantitative mu-Calculus on Infinite Transition Systems
We consider the model-checking problem for a quantitativeextension of the modal mu-calculus on two classes of infinitequantitative transition systems. The first class, initialized linearhybrid systems, is motivated by verification of systems whichexhibit continuous dynamics. We …

Piotr Hofman (Uniwersytet Warszawski)
joint work with Sławek Lasota and Wojtek Czerwiński
It is well known that multi-pushdown automata are Turing complete.However, one obtains an interesting class under assumption that theautomata have only one state. Surprisingly, the reachability problembecames decidable and the complexity isn't as high as …

Damian Niwiński (Uniwersytet Warszawski)
joint work with Andre Arnold and Henryk Michalewski
Once we know that a class C is different from co-C,we may ask a more subtle question: can any two disjointsets in C be ``approximated'' by their super-sets inco-C, still disjoint ?In the classical hierarchies, …

Alessandro Facchini (Uniwersytet Warszawski)
joint work with Filip Murlak and Jacques Duparc
We introduce a class of alternating tree automata, called game automata, which is the largest class for which the substitution operation preserves Wadge equivalence. Moreover it contains all deterministic automata.We then show that for the …

Separation theorems in the Wagner hierarchy of rational omega-langauges
In the Borel hierarchy every pair of disjointPi_n sets is separable by a Delta_n set, andthere are pairs of disjoint Sigma_n sets whichare not separable.It is still a partially open question whether these separation results …

Nominal Computation
I will present a programming language that manipulates nominal sets.In the programming language, an orbit finite set behaves like a finiteset. One can execute in finite time a loop over all elements of anorbit finite …

Solving Muller Games via Safety Games
Using results on finite-time Muller Games (which are defined using scoring functions that measure how often a given loop in the arena has been visited) we showhow to determine the winner and a finite-state winning …

Laurent Braud (Uniwersytet Warszawski)
Limits of interpretations and unfoldings
The original motivation was the characterisation of more structureswith decidable MSO theory. We consider the transformation approach :operations that preserve decidability include MSO-interpretations andunfoldings, which can be used to build the Caucal hierarchy. In anattempt …

Paweł Parys (Uniwersytet Warszawski)
The excluded grid theorem
I will present a proof of the excluded grid theorem of Robertson and Seymour: a graph has no large grid minor if and only if it has small tree-width.

Solving problems parameterized by tree-width in single exponential time: a logical approach
We introduce a variant of modal logic on graphs, dubbed EXISTENTIAL COUNTINGMODAL LOGIC (ECML), which captures a vast majority of problems knownto be tractable in single exponential time when parameterized by treewidth. Itappears that all …
