Alternating register automata on finite words and trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We study alternating register automata on data words and data trees in relation to logics. A data word (resp. data tree) is a word (resp. tree) whose every position carries a label from a finite alphabet and a data value from an infinite domain.

A conceptual proposal on the undecidability of the distribution law of prime numbers and theoretical consequences

open access: yesRatio Mathematica, 2019
Within the conceptual framework of number theory, we consider prime numbers and the classic still unsolved problem to find a complete law of their distribution.

Decidability in the logic of subsequences and supersequences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We consider first-order logics of sequences ordered by the subsequence ordering, aka sequence embedding. We show that the \Sigma_2 theory is undecidable, answering a question left open by Kuske.

Knowledge to Manage the Knowledge Society: The Concept of Theoretical Incompleteness

open access: yesSystems, 2016
After having outlined the essential differences between non-complex systems and complex systems we briefly recall the conceptual approaches considered by the pre-complexity General Systems Theory introduced by Von Bertalanffy in 1968 and those of the ...

Undecidable problems concerning densities of languages [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2005
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 ...

Number conserving cellular automata: new results on decidability and dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2003
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.

Equivalence Problems for Tree Transducers: A Brief Survey [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2014
The decidability of equivalence for three important classes of tree transducers is discussed. Each class can be obtained as a natural restriction of deterministic macro tree transducers (MTTs): (1) no context parameters, i.e., top-down tree transducers, (

An analytical method for well-formed workflow/Petri net verification of classical soundness

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2014
In this paper we consider workflow nets as dynamical systems governed by ordinary difference equations described by a particular class of Petri nets. Workflow nets are a formal model of business processes.

Completing the picture for the Skolem Problem on order-4 linear recurrence sequences [PDF]

open access: yesTheoretiCS
For almost a century, the decidability of the Skolem Problem - that is, the problem of finding whether a given linear recurrence sequence (LRS) has a zero term - has remained open. A breakthrough in the 1980s established that the Skolem Problem is indeed

An Application of the Feferman-Vaught Theorem to Automata and Logics for Words over an Infinite Alphabet [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2008
We show that a special case of the Feferman-Vaught composition theorem gives rise to a natural notion of automata for finite words over an infinite alphabet, with good closure and decidability properties, as well as several logical characterizations.
