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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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 ā0ā if the number of ā1ās in an input ...
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...
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...
Abstract. The synthesis of a reactive system with respect to an Ļregular speciļ¬cation requires the solution of a graph game. Such games have been extended in two natural ways. F...

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...
