Tight links between normality and automata; Two Applications of the Parikh Property
Abstract (Tight links between normality and automata): Normality has been introduced by É. Borel more than one hundred years ago. A real number is normal to an integer base if, in its infinite expansion expressed in that base, all blocks of digits of the same length have the same limiting frequenc...

The complexity of soundness in workflow nets
Workflow nets are a popular variant of Petri nets that allow for algorithmic formal analysis of business processes. The central decision problems concerning workflow nets deal with soundness, where the initial and final configurations are specified. Intuitively, soundness states that from every reac...

The Skolem Problem for Simple Linear Recurrence Sequences
The Skolem Problem, asks to decide whether a linear recurrence sequence has a zero term. The Skolem-Mahler-Lech theorem states that the set of zeros of a linear recurrence sequence is the union of a finite set and finitely many arithmetic progressions. Although the result is almost 90 years old, the...

Definability of neighborhoods in graphs of bounded twin-width and its consequences
During the talk, we will study set systems formed by neighborhoods in graphs of bounded twin-width. In particular, we will show how, for a given graph from a class of graphs of bounded twin-width, to efficiently encode the neighborhood of a vertex in a given set of vertices A of the graph. For the e...

Vertex-minors: dense graphs from sparse graphs
Structural graph theory has traditionally focused on graph classes that are sparse (that is, only contain graphs with few edges). Lately, however, there has been an ongoing shift towards the dense setting. In the first half of the talk we discuss how vertex-minors fit into this paradigm. In the seco...

Attractor decompositions and their applications in games and automata
An attractor decomposition is a natural inductively defined decomposition of a graph that satisfies the parity condition, and its “shape” can be described by an ordered tree. The McNaughton-Zielonka algorithm implicitly produces an attractor decomposition of the winning set in a parity game. W...

Dimension of posets of bounded cliquewidth
Dimension and boolean dimension are two structural measures for posets (partially ordered sets). Roughly speaking, they measure the minimum number of linear orders sufficient for encoding the poset. We will discuss a proof that posets of bounded cliquewidth have bounded boolean dimension and are dim...

How undecidable are HyperLTL and HyperCTL*?
Temporal logics for the specification of information-flow properties are able to express relations between multiple executions of a system. Two of the most important such logics are HyperLTL and HyperCTL*, which generalise LTL and CTL* by trace quantification. It is known that this expressiveness co...

Single-use automata and transducers—current standpoint
Register automata (as defined by Kaminski and Francez) are an established tool for studying languages and transductions over infinite alphabets. They share many desired properties of finite automata, but they also miss a few key ones. For example, their definitions are unstable—one-way determinist...

Active learning automata with syntactic queries
Regular languages can be actively learned with membership and equivalence queries in polynomial time. The learning algorithm, called the L^* algorithm, constructs iteratively the right congruence relation of a given regular language L, and returns the minimal DFA recognizing L. The L^* algorithm has...
