Shortest paths in one-counter systems

Dmitry Chistikov ; Wojciech Czerwiński ; Piotr Hofman ; Michał Pilipczuk ; Michael Wehar.

We show that any one-counter automaton with $n$ states, if its language is non-empty, accepts some word of length at most $O(n^2)$. This closes the gap between the previously known upper bound of $O(n^3)$ and lower bound of $\Omega(n^2)$. More generally, we prove a tight upper bound on the length of&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Definable decompositions for graphs of bounded linear cliquewidth

Mikołaj Bojańczyk ; Martin Grohe ; Michał Pilipczuk.

We prove that for every positive integer k, there exists an MSO_1-transduction that given a graph of linear cliquewidth at most k outputs, nondeterministically, some cliquewidth decomposition of the graph of width bounded by a function of k. A direct corollary of this result is the equivalence of&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Optimizing tree decompositions in MSO

Mikołaj Bojańczyk ; Michał Pilipczuk.

The classic algorithm of Bodlaender and Kloks [J. Algorithms, 1996] solves the following problem in linear fixed-parameter time: given a tree decomposition of a graph of (possibly suboptimal) width k, compute an optimum-width tree decomposition of the graph. In this work, we prove that this problem&nbsp;[&hellip;]
