Decidability of Non-interactive Simulation of Joint Distributions [PDF]
We present decidability results for a sub-class of "non-interactive" simulation problems, a well-studied class of problems in information theory. A non-interactive simulation problem is specified by two distributions P(x, y) and Q(u, v): The goal is to ...

Improved Undecidability Results for Reachability Games on Recursive Timed Automata [PDF]
We study reachability games on recursive timed automata (RTA) that generalize Alur-Dill timed automata with recursive procedure invocation mechanism similar to recursive state machines. It is known that deciding the winner in reachability games on RTA is

Decidability of the Membership Problem for 2 × 2 integer matrices [PDF]
The main result of this paper is the decidability of the membership problem for 2 × 2 nonsingular integer matrices. Namely, we will construct the first algorithm that for any nonsingular 2 × 2 integer matrices M1, . . .

Robustly Complete Finite-State Abstractions for Control Synthesis of Stochastic Systems
The essential step of abstraction-based control synthesis for nonlinear systems to satisfy a given specification is to obtain a finite-state abstraction of the original systems.

Undecidable problems concerning densities of languages [PDF]
In this paper we prove that the question whether a language presented by a context free grammar has density, is undecidable. Moreover we show that there is no algorithm which, given two unambiguous context free grammars on input, decides whether the ...

Modularity for decidability of deductive verification with applications to distributed systems
Proof automation can substantially increase productivity in formal verification of complex systems. However, unpredictablility of automated provers in handling quantified formulas presents a major hurdle to usability of these tools.

The finiteness of a group generated by a 2-letter invertible-reversible Mealy automaton is decidable [PDF]
We prove that a semigroup generated by a reversible two-state Mealy automaton is either finite or free of rank 2. This fact leads to the decidability of finiteness for groups generated by two-state or two-letter invertible-reversible Mealy automata and ...

Analysis of cryptographic protocols using logics of belief: an overview
When designing a cryptographic protocol or explaining it, one often uses arguments such as ``since this message was signed by machine B, machine A can be sure it came from B`` in informal proofs justifying how the protocol works.

Number conserving cellular automata: new results on decidability and dynamics [PDF]
This paper is a survey on our recent results about number conserving cellular automata. First, we prove the linear time decidability of the property of number conservation. The sequel focuses on dynamical evolutions of number conserving cellular automata.

Reachability and liveness in parametric timed automata [PDF]
We study timed systems in which some timing features are unknown parameters. Parametric timed automata (PTAs) are a classical formalism for such systems but for which most interesting problems are undecidable.
