Query Automata for Nested Words
We study visibly pushdown automata (VPA) models for expressing and evaluating queries, expressed using MSO formulas, on words with a nesting structure (like XML documents). We deļ...

Private Capacities in Mechanism Design
Algorithmic mechanism design considers distributed settings where the participants, termed agents, cannot be assumed to follow the protocol but rather their own interests. The pro...

Snake-Deterministic Tiling Systems
The concept of determinism, while clear and well assessed for string languages, is still matter of research as far as picture languages are concerned. We introduce here a new kind ...

The Isomorphism Problem for k-Trees Is Complete for Logspace
Abstract. We show that k-tree isomorphism can be decided in logarithmic space by giving a logspace canonical labeling algorithm. This improves over the previous StUL upper bound an...

Size and Energy of Threshold Circuits Computing Mod Functions
Let C be a threshold logic circuit computing a Boolean function MODm : {0, 1}n ā†’ {0, 1}, where n ā‰„ 1 and m ā‰„ 2. Then C outputs ā€œ0ā€ if the number of ā€œ1ā€s in an input ...

Future-Looking Logics on Data Words and Trees
In a data word or a data tree each position carries a label from a ļ¬nite alphabet and a data value from an inļ¬nite domain. Over data words we consider the logic LTLā†“ 1(F), th...

Synchronization of Regular Automata
Functional graph grammars are ļ¬nite devices which generate the class of regular automata. We recall the notion of synchronization by grammars, and for any given grammar we consid...

Stochastic Games with Finitary Objectives
Abstract. The synthesis of a reactive system with respect to an Ļ‰regular speciļ¬cation requires the solution of a graph game. Such games have been extended in two natural ways. F...

On Pebble Automata for Data Languages with Decidable Emptiness Problem
In this paper we study a subclass of pebble automata (PA) for data languages for which the emptiness problem is decidable. Namely, we show that the emptiness problem for weak 2-peb...
