State of B\"uchi Complementation

Ming-Hsien Tsai ; Seth Fogarty ; Moshe Y. Vardi ; Yih-Kuen Tsay.

Complementation of B\"uchi automata has been studied for over five decades since the formalism was introduced in 1960. Known complementation constructions can be classified into Ramsey-based, determinization-based, rank-based, and slice-based approaches. Regarding the performance of these&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Unifying B\"uchi Complementation Constructions

Seth J. Fogarty ; Orna Kupferman ; Thomas Wilke ; Moshe Y. Vardi.

Complementation of B\"uchi automata, required for checking automata containment, is of major theoretical and practical interest in formal verification. We consider two recent approaches to complementation. The first is the rank-based approach of Kupferman and Vardi, which operates over a DAG that&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Synthesis from Probabilistic Components

Sumit Nain ; Yoad Lustig ; Moshe Y Vardi.

Synthesis is the automatic construction of a system from its specification. In classical synthesis algorithms, it is always assumed that the system is "constructed from scratch" rather than composed from reusable components. This, of course, rarely happens in real life, where almost every&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Reasoning about Strategies: on the Satisfiability Problem

Fabio Mogavero ; Aniello Murano ; Giuseppe Perelli ; Moshe Y. Vardi.

Strategy Logic (SL, for short) has been introduced by Mogavero, Murano, and Vardi as a useful formalism for reasoning explicitly about strategies, as first-order objects, in multi-agent concurrent games. This logic turns out to be very powerful, subsuming all major previously studied modal logics&nbsp;[&hellip;]
