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;]

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;]

The Theory of Universal Graphs for Infinite Duration Games

Thomas Colcombet ; Nathanaël Fijalkow ; Paweł Gawrychowski ; Pierre Ohlmann.

We introduce the notion of universal graphs as a tool for constructing algorithms solving games of infinite duration such as parity games and mean payoff games. In the first part we develop the theory of universal graphs, with two goals: showing an equivalence and normalisation result between&nbsp;[&hellip;]
