text: Energy games belong to a class of turn-based two-player infinite-duration
games played on a weighted directed graph. It is one of the rare and intriguing
combinatorial problems that lie in NP∩co-NP, but are not known to be in P. The
existence of polynomial-time algorithms has been a major open problem for decades
and apart from pseudopolynomial algorithms there is no algorithm that solves any
non-trivial subclass in polynomial time. In this paper, we give several results
based on the weight structures of the graph. First, we identify a notion of penalty
and present a polynomial-time algorithm when the penalty is large. Our algorithm
is the first polynomial-time algorithm on a large class of weighted graphs. It
includes several worst-case instances on which previous algorithms, such as value
iteration and random facet algorithms, require at least sub-exponential time.
Our main technique is developing the first non-trivial approximation algorithm
and showing how to convert it to an exact algorithm. Moreover, we show that in
a practical case in verification where weights are clustered around a constant
number of values, the energy game problem can be solved in polynomial time. We
also show that the problem is still as hard as in general when the clique-width
is bounded or the graph is strongly ergodic, suggesting that restricting the graph
structure does not necessarily help.

text: Transgenerational effects are broader than only parental relationships. Despite
mounting evidence that multigenerational effects alter phenotypic and life-history
traits, our understanding of how they combine to determine fitness is not well
developed because of the added complexity necessary to study them. Here, we derive
a quantitative genetic model of adaptation to an extraordinary new environment
by an additive genetic component, phenotypic plasticity, maternal and grandmaternal
effects. We show how, at equilibrium, negative maternal and negative grandmaternal
effects maximize expected population mean fitness. We define negative transgenerational
effects as those that have a negative effect on trait expression in the subsequent
generation, that is, they slow, or potentially reverse, the expected evolutionary
dynamic. When maternal effects are positive, negative grandmaternal effects are
preferred. As expected under Mendelian inheritance, the grandmaternal effects
have a lower impact on fitness than the maternal effects, but this dual inheritance
model predicts a more complex relationship between maternal and grandmaternal
effects to constrain phenotypic variance and so maximize expected population mean
fitness in the offspring.

text: "Model-based testing is a promising technology for black-box software and
hardware testing, in which test cases are generated automatically from high-level
specifications. Nowadays, systems typically consist of multiple interacting components
and, due to their complexity, testing presents a considerable portion of the effort
and cost in the design process. Exploiting the compositional structure of system
specifications can considerably reduce the effort in model-based testing. Moreover,
inferring properties about the system from testing its individual components allows
the designer to reduce the amount of integration testing.\r\nIn this paper, we
study compositional properties of the IOCO-testing theory. We propose a new approach
to composition and hiding operations, inspired by contract-based design and interface
theories. These operations preserve behaviors that are compatible under composition
and hiding, and prune away incompatible ones. The resulting specification characterizes
the input sequences for which the unit testing of components is sufficient to
infer the correctness of component integration without the need for further tests.
We provide a methodology that uses these results to minimize integration testing
effort, but also to detect potential weaknesses in specifications. While we focus
on asynchronous models and the IOCO conformance relation, the resulting methodology
can be applied to a broader class of systems."

text: 'Recently there has been a significant effort to add quantitative properties
in formal verification and synthesis. While weighted automata over finite and
infinite words provide a natural and flexible framework to express quantitative
properties, perhaps surprisingly, several basic system properties such as average
response time cannot be expressed with weighted automata. In this work, we introduce
nested weighted automata as a new formalism for expressing important quantitative
properties such as average response time. We establish an almost complete decidability
picture for the basic decision problems for nested weighted automata, and illustrate
its applicability in several domains. '

text: As hybrid systems involve continuous behaviors, they should be evaluated by
quantitative methods, rather than qualitative methods. In this paper we adapt
a quantitative framework, called model measuring, to the hybrid systems domain.
The model-measuring problem asks, given a model M and a specification, what is
the maximal distance such that all models within that distance from M satisfy
(or violate) the specification. A distance function on models is given as part
of the input of the problem. Distances, especially related to continuous behaviors
are more natural in the hybrid case than the discrete case. We are interested
in distances represented by monotonic hybrid automata, a hybrid counterpart of
(discrete) weighted automata, whose recognized timed languages are monotone (w.r.t.
inclusion) in the values of parameters.The contributions of this paper are twofold.
First, we give sufficient conditions under which the model-measuring problem can
be solved. Second, we discuss the modeling of distances and applications of the
model-measuring problem.

text: "We define the model-measuring problem: given a model M and specification
φ, what is the maximal distance ρ such that all models M'within distance ρ from
M satisfy (or violate)φ. The model measuring problem presupposes a distance function
on models. We concentrate on automatic distance functions, which are defined by
weighted automata.\r\nThe model-measuring problem subsumes several generalizations
of the classical model-checking problem, in particular, quantitative model-checking
problems that measure the degree of satisfaction of a specification, and robustness
problems that measure how much a model can be perturbed without violating the
specification.\r\nWe show that for automatic distance functions, and ω-regular
linear-time and branching-time specifications, the model-measuring problem can
be solved.\r\nWe use automata-theoretic model-checking methods for model measuring,
replacing the emptiness question for standard word and tree automata by the optimal-weight
question for the weighted versions of these automata. We consider weighted automata
that accumulate weights by maximizing, summing, discounting, and limit averaging.
\r\nWe give several examples of using the model-measuring problem to compute various
notions of robustness and quantitative satisfaction for temporal specifications."

text: We consider multi-player graph games with partial-observation and parity objective.
While the decision problem for three-player games with a coalition of the first
and second players against the third player is undecidable, we present a decidability
result for partial-observation games where the first and third player are in a
coalition against the second player, thus where the second player is adversarial
but weaker due to partial-observation. We establish tight complexity bounds in
the case where player 1 is less informed than player 2, namely 2-EXPTIME-completeness
for parity objectives. The symmetric case of player 1 more informed than player
2 is much more complicated, and we show that already in the case where player
1 has perfect observation, memory of size non-elementary is necessary in general
for reachability objectives, and the problem is decidable for safety and reachability
objectives. Our results have tight connections with partial-observation stochastic
games for which we derive new complexity results.

text: "We consider the reachability and shortest path problems on low tree-width
graphs, with n nodes, m edges, and tree-width t, on a standard RAM with wordsize
W. We use O to hide polynomial factors of the inverse of the Ackermann function.
Our main contributions are three fold:\r\n1. For reachability, we present an algorithm
that requires O(n·t2·log(n/t)) preprocessing time, O(n·(t·log(n/t))/W) space,
and O(t/W) time for pair queries and O((n·t)/W) time for single-source queries.
Note that for constant t our algorithm uses O(n·logn) time for preprocessing;
and O(n/W) time for single-source queries, which is faster than depth first search/breath
first search (after the preprocessing).\r\n2. We present an algorithm for shortest
path that requires O(n·t2) preprocessing time, O(n·t) space, and O(t2) time for
pair queries and O(n·t) time single-source queries.\r\n3. We give a space versus
query time trade-off algorithm for shortest path that, given any constant >0,
requires O(n·t2) preprocessing time, O(n·t2) space, and O(n1−·t2) time for pair
queries.\r\nOur algorithms improve all existing results, and use very simple data
structures."

text: 'We consider concurrent mean-payoff games, a very well-studied class of two-player
(player 1 vs player 2) zero-sum games on finite-state graphs where every transition
is assigned a reward between 0 and 1, and the payoff function is the long-run
average of the rewards. The value is the maximal expected payoff that player 1
can guarantee against all strategies of player 2. We consider the computation
of the set of states with value 1 under finite-memory strategies for player 1,
and our main results for the problem are as follows: (1) we present a polynomial-time
algorithm; (2) we show that whenever there is a finite-memory strategy, there
is a stationary strategy that does not need memory at all; and (3) we present
an optimal bound (which is double exponential) on the patience of stationary strategies
(where patience of a distribution is the inverse of the smallest positive probability
and represents a complexity measure of a stationary strategy).'

text: 'Evolution occurs in populations of reproducing individuals. The structure
of the population affects the outcome of the evolutionary process. Evolutionary
graph theory is a powerful approach to study this phenomenon. There are two graphs.
The interaction graph specifies who interacts with whom in the context of evolution.
The replacement graph specifies who competes with whom for reproduction. The vertices
of the two graphs are the same, and each vertex corresponds to an individual.
A key quantity is the fixation probability of a new mutant. It is defined as the
probability that a newly introduced mutant (on a single vertex) generates a lineage
of offspring which eventually takes over the entire population of resident individuals.
The basic computational questions are as follows: (i) the qualitative question
asks whether the fixation probability is positive; and (ii) the quantitative approximation
question asks for an approximation of the fixation probability. Our main results
are: (1) We show that the qualitative question is NP-complete and the quantitative
approximation question is #P-hard in the special case when the interaction and
the replacement graphs coincide and even with the restriction that the resident
individuals do not reproduce (which corresponds to an invading population taking
over an empty structure). (2) We show that in general the qualitative question
is PSPACE-complete and the quantitative approximation question is PSPACE-hard
and can be solved in exponential time.'

text: 'We present a flexible framework for the automated competitive analysis of
on-line scheduling algorithms for firm- deadline real-time tasks based on multi-objective
graphs: Given a taskset and an on-line scheduling algorithm specified as a labeled
transition system, along with some optional safety, liveness, and/or limit-average
constraints for the adversary, we automatically compute the competitive ratio
of the algorithm w.r.t. a clairvoyant scheduler. We demonstrate the flexibility
and power of our approach by comparing the competitive ratio of several on-line
algorithms, including D(over), that have been proposed in the past, for various
tasksets. Our experimental results reveal that none of these algorithms is universally
optimal, in the sense that there are tasksets where other schedulers provide better
performance. Our framework is hence a very useful design tool for selecting optimal
algorithms for a given application. '

text: We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), that
are a standard framework for robotics applications to model uncertainties present
in the real world, with temporal logic specifications. All temporal logic specifications
in linear-time temporal logic (LTL) can be expressed as parity objectives. We
study the qualitative analysis problem for POMDPs with parity objectives that
asks whether there is a controller (policy) to ensure that the objective holds
with probability 1 (almost-surely). While the qualitative analysis of POMDPs with
parity objectives is undecidable, recent results show that when restricted to
finite-memory policies the problem is EXPTIME-complete. While the problem is intractable
in theory, we present a practical approach to solve the qualitative analysis problem.
We designed several heuristics to deal with the exponential complexity, and have
used our implementation on a number of well-known POMDP examples for robotics
applications. Our results provide the first practical approach to solve the qualitative
analysis of robot motion planning with LTL properties in the presence of uncertainty.

text: ' We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with
a set of target states and every transition is associated with an integer cost.
The optimization objective we study asks to minimize the expected total cost till
the target set is reached, while ensuring that the target set is reached almost-surely
(with probability 1). We show that for integer costs approximating the optimal
cost is undecidable. For positive costs, our results are as follows: (i) we establish
matching lower and upper bounds for the optimal cost and the bound is double exponential;
(ii) we show that the problem of approximating the optimal cost is decidable and
present approximation algorithms developing on the existing algorithms for POMDPs
with finite-horizon objectives. While the worst-case running time of our algorithm
is double exponential, we also present efficient stopping criteria for the algorithm
and show experimentally that it performs well in many examples of interest.'

text: We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), that
are a standard framework for robotics applications to model uncertainties present
in the real world, with temporal logic specifications. All temporal logic specifications
in linear-time temporal logic (LTL) can be expressed as parity objectives. We
study the qualitative analysis problem for POMDPs with parity objectives that
asks whether there is a controller (policy) to ensure that the objective holds
with probability 1 (almost-surely). While the qualitative analysis of POMDPs with
parity objectives is undecidable, recent results show that when restricted to
finite-memory policies the problem is EXPTIME-complete. While the problem is intractable
in theory, we present a practical approach to solve the qualitative analysis problem.
We designed several heuristics to deal with the exponential complexity, and have
used our implementation on a number of well-known POMDP examples for robotics
applications. Our results provide the first practical approach to solve the qualitative
analysis of robot motion planning with LTL properties in the presence of uncertainty.

text: 'We consider graphs with n nodes together with their tree-decomposition that
has b = O ( n ) bags and width t , on the standard RAM computational model with
wordsize W = Θ (log n ) . Our contributions are two-fold: Our first contribution
is an algorithm that given a graph and its tree-decomposition as input, computes
a binary and balanced tree-decomposition of width at most 4 · t + 3 of the graph
in O ( b ) time and space, improving a long-standing (from 1992) bound of O (
n · log n ) time for constant treewidth graphs. Our second contribution is on
reachability queries for low treewidth graphs. We build on our tree-balancing
algorithm and present a data-structure for graph reachability that requires O
( n · t 2 ) preprocessing time, O ( n · t ) space, and O ( d t/ log n e ) time
for pair queries, and O ( n · t · log t/ log n ) time for single-source queries.
For constant t our data-structure uses O ( n ) time for preprocessing, O (1) time
for pair queries, and O ( n/ log n ) time for single-source queries. This is (asymptotically)
optimal and is faster than DFS/BFS when answering more than a constant number
of single-source queries.'

text: "Simulation is an attractive alternative for language inclusion for automata
as it is an under-approximation of language inclusion, but usually has much lower
complexity. For non-deterministic automata, while language inclusion is PSPACE-complete,
simulation can be computed in polynomial time. Simulation has also been extended
in two orthogonal directions, namely, (1) fair simulation, for simulation over
specified set of infinite runs; and (2) quantitative simulation, for simulation
between weighted automata. Again, while fair trace inclusion is PSPACE-complete,
fair simulation can be computed in polynomial time. For weighted automata, the
(quantitative) language inclusion problem is undecidable for mean-payoff automata
and the decidability is open for discounted-sum automata, whereas the (quantitative)
simulation reduce to mean-payoff games and discounted-sum games, which admit pseudo-polynomial
time algorithms.\r\n\r\nIn this work, we study (quantitative) simulation for weighted
automata with Büchi acceptance conditions, i.e., we generalize fair simulation
from non-weighted automata to weighted automata. We show that imposing Büchi acceptance
conditions on weighted automata changes many fundamental properties of the simulation
games. For example, whereas for mean-payoff and discounted-sum games, the players
do not need memory to play optimally; we show in contrast that for simulation
games with Büchi acceptance conditions, (i) for mean-payoff objectives, optimal
strategies for both players require infinite memory in general, and (ii) for discounted-sum
objectives, optimal strategies need not exist for both players. While the simulation
games with Büchi acceptance conditions are more complicated (e.g., due to infinite-memory
requirements for mean-payoff objectives) as compared to their counterpart without
Büchi acceptance conditions, we still present pseudo-polynomial time algorithms
to solve simulation games with Büchi acceptance conditions for both weighted mean-payoff
and weighted discounted-sum automata."
