Exact and Approximate Determinization of Discounted-Sum Automata

Udi Boker ; Thomas A. Henzinger.

A discounted-sum automaton (NDA) is a nondeterministic finite automaton with edge weights, valuing a run by the discounted sum of visited edge weights. More precisely, the weight in the i-th position of the run is divided by $\lambda^i$, where the discount factor $\lambda$ is a fixed rational number&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Aspect-oriented linearizability proofs

Soham Chakraborty ; Thomas A. Henzinger ; Ali Sezgin ; Viktor Vafeiadis.

Linearizability of concurrent data structures is usually proved by monolithic simulation arguments relying on the identification of the so-called linearization points. Regrettably, such proofs, whether manual or automatic, are often complicated and scale poorly to advanced non-blocking concurrency&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Determinacy in Discrete-Bidding Infinite-Duration Games

Milad Aghajohari ; Guy Avni ; Thomas A. Henzinger.

In two-player games on graphs, the players move a token through a graph to produce an infinite path, which determines the winner of the game. Such games are central in formal methods since they model the interaction between a non-terminating system and its environment. In bidding games the players&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Edit Distance for Pushdown Automata

Krishnendu Chatterjee ; Thomas A. Henzinger ; Rasmus Ibsen-Jensen ; Jan Otop.

The edit distance between two words $w_1, w_2$ is the minimal number of word operations (letter insertions, deletions, and substitutions) necessary to transform $w_1$ to $w_2$. The edit distance generalizes to languages $\mathcal{L}_1, \mathcal{L}_2$, where the edit distance from $\mathcal{L}_1$ to&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Quantitative Automata under Probabilistic Semantics

Krishnendu Chatterjee ; Thomas A. Henzinger ; Jan Otop.

Automata with monitor counters, where the transitions do not depend on counter values, and nested weighted automata are two expressive automata-theoretic frameworks for quantitative properties. For a well-studied and wide class of quantitative functions, we establish that automata with monitor&nbsp;[&hellip;]
