Transforming structures by set interpretations

Thomas Colcombet ; Christof Löding.

We consider a new kind of interpretation over relational structures: finite sets interpretations. Those interpretations are defined by weak monadic second-order (WMSO) formulas with free set variables. They transform a given structure into a structure with a domain consisting of finite sets of&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Regular Cost Functions, Part I: Logic and Algebra over Words

Thomas Colcombet.

The theory of regular cost functions is a quantitative extension to the classical notion of regularity. A cost function associates to each input a non-negative integer value (or infinity), as opposed to languages which only associate to each input the two values "inside" and "outside". This theory&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Logics with rigidly guarded data tests

Gabriele Puppis ; Thomas Colcombet ; Clemens Ley.

The notion of orbit finite data monoid was recently introduced by Bojanczyk as an algebraic object for defining recognizable languages of data words. Following Buchi's approach, we introduce a variant of monadic second-order logic with data equality tests that captures precisely the data languages&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Controlling a random population

Thomas Colcombet ; Nathanaël Fijalkow ; Pierre Ohlmann.

Bertrand et al. introduced a model of parameterised systems, where each agent is represented by a finite state system, and studied the following control problem: for any number of agents, does there exist a controller able to bring all agents to a target state? They showed that the problem is&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Playing Safe, Ten Years Later

Thomas Colcombet ; Nathanaël Fijalkow ; Florian Horn.

We consider two-player games over graphs and give tight bounds on the memory size of strategies ensuring safety objectives. More specifically, we show that the minimal number of memory states of a strategy ensuring a safety objective is given by the size of the maximal antichain of left quotients&nbsp;[&hellip;]
