  text: Motivated by COVID-19, we develop and analyze a simple stochastic model for
    the spread of disease in human population. We track how the number of infected
    and critically ill people develops over time in order to estimate the demand that
    is imposed on the hospital system. To keep this demand under control, we consider
    a class of simple policies for slowing down and reopening society and we compare
    their efficiency in mitigating the spread of the virus from several different
    points of view. We find that in order to avoid overwhelming of the hospital system,
    a policy must impose a harsh lockdown or it must react swiftly (or both). While
    reacting swiftly is universally beneficial, being harsh pays off only when the
    country is patient about reopening and when the neighboring countries coordinate
    their mitigation efforts. Our work highlights the importance of acting decisively
    when closing down and the importance of patience and coordination between neighboring
    countries when reopening.

  text: Structural balance theory is an established framework for studying social
    relationships of friendship and enmity. These relationships are modeled by a signed
    network whose energy potential measures the level of imbalance, while stochastic
    dynamics drives the network toward a state of minimum energy that captures social
    balance. It is known that this energy landscape has local minima that can trap
    socially aware dynamics, preventing it from reaching balance. Here we first study
    the robustness and attractor properties of these local minima. We show that a
    stochastic process can reach them from an abundance of initial states and that
    some local minima cannot be escaped by mild perturbations of the network. Motivated
    by these anomalies, we introduce best-edge dynamics (BED), a new plausible stochastic
    process. We prove that BED always reaches balance and that it does so fast in
    various interesting settings.

  text: "We consider the core algorithmic problems related to verification of systems
    with respect to three classical quantitative properties, namely, the mean-payoff,
    the ratio, and the minimum initial credit for energy property. The algorithmic
    problem given a graph and a quantitative property asks to compute the optimal
    value (the infimum value over all traces) from every node of the graph. We consider
    graphs with bounded treewidth—a class that contains the control flow graphs of
    most programs. Let n denote the number of nodes of a graph, m the number of edges
    (for bounded treewidth \U0001D45A=\U0001D442(\U0001D45B)) and W the largest absolute
    value of the weights. Our main theoretical results are as follows. First, for
    the minimum initial credit problem we show that (1) for general graphs the problem
    can be solved in \U0001D442(\U0001D45B2⋅\U0001D45A) time and the associated decision
    problem in \U0001D442(\U0001D45B⋅\U0001D45A) time, improving the previous known
    \U0001D442(\U0001D45B3⋅\U0001D45A⋅log(\U0001D45B⋅\U0001D44A)) and \U0001D442(\U0001D45B2⋅\U0001D45A)
    bounds, respectively; and (2) for bounded treewidth graphs we present an algorithm
    that requires \U0001D442(\U0001D45B⋅log\U0001D45B) time. Second, for bounded treewidth
    graphs we present an algorithm that approximates the mean-payoff value within
    a factor of 1+\U0001D716 in time \U0001D442(\U0001D45B⋅log(\U0001D45B/\U0001D716))
    as compared to the classical exact algorithms on general graphs that require quadratic
    time. Third, for the ratio property we present an algorithm that for bounded treewidth
    graphs works in time \U0001D442(\U0001D45B⋅log(|\U0001D44E⋅\U0001D44F|))=\U0001D442(\U0001D45B⋅log(\U0001D45B⋅\U0001D44A)),
    when the output is \U0001D44E\U0001D44F, as compared to the previously best known
    algorithm on general graphs with running time \U0001D442(\U0001D45B2⋅log(\U0001D45B⋅\U0001D44A)).
    We have implemented some of our algorithms and show that they present a significant
    speedup on standard benchmarks."

  text: 'Selection and random drift determine the probability that novel mutations
    fixate in a population. Population structure is known to affect the dynamics of
    the evolutionary process. Amplifiers of selection are population structures that
    increase the fixation probability of beneficial mutants compared to well-mixed
    populations. Over the past 15 years, extensive research has produced remarkable
    structures called strong amplifiers which guarantee that every beneficial mutation
    fixates with high probability. But strong amplification has come at the cost of
    considerably delaying the fixation event, which can slow down the overall rate
    of evolution. However, the precise relationship between fixation probability and
    time has remained elusive. Here we characterize the slowdown effect of strong
    amplification. First, we prove that all strong amplifiers must delay the fixation
    event at least to some extent. Second, we construct strong amplifiers that delay
    the fixation event only marginally as compared to the well-mixed populations.
    Our results thus establish a tight relationship between fixation probability and
    time: Strong amplification always comes at a cost of a slowdown, but more than
    a marginal slowdown is not needed.'

  text: "In this work we solve the algorithmic problem of consistency verification
    for the TSO and PSO memory models given a reads-from map, denoted VTSO-rf and
    VPSO-rf, respectively. For an execution of n events over k threads and d variables,
    we establish novel bounds that scale as nk+1 for TSO and as nk+1· min(nk2, 2k·
    d) for PSO. Moreover, based on our solution to these problems, we develop an SMC
    algorithm under TSO and PSO that uses the RF equivalence. The algorithm is exploration-optimal,
    in the sense that it is guaranteed to explore each class of the RF partitioning
    exactly once, and spends polynomial time per class when k is bounded. Finally,
    we implement all our algorithms in the SMC tool Nidhugg, and perform a large number
    of experiments over benchmarks from existing literature. Our experimental results
    show that our algorithms for VTSO-rf and VPSO-rf provide significant scalability
    improvements over standard alternatives. Moreover, when used for SMC, the RF partitioning
    is often much coarser than the standard Shasha-Snir partitioning for TSO/PSO,
    which yields a significant speedup in the model checking task.\r\n\r\n"

  text: "Product graphs arise naturally in formal verification and program analysis.
    For example, the analysis of two concurrent threads requires the product of two
    component control-flow graphs, and for language inclusion of deterministic automata
    the product of two automata is constructed. In many cases, the component graphs
    have constant treewidth, e.g., when the input contains control-flow graphs of
    programs. We consider the algorithmic analysis of products of two constant-treewidth
    graphs with respect to three classic specification languages, namely, (a) algebraic
    properties, (b) mean-payoff properties, and (c) initial credit for energy properties.\r\nOur
    main contributions are as follows. Consider a graph G that is the product of two
    constant-treewidth graphs of size n each. First, given an idempotent semiring,
    we present an algorithm that computes the semiring transitive closure of G in
    time Õ(n⁴). Since the output has size Θ(n⁴), our algorithm is optimal (up to
    polylog factors). Second, given a mean-payoff objective, we present an O(n³)-time
    algorithm for deciding whether the value of a starting state is non-negative,
    improving the previously known O(n⁴) bound. Third, given an initial credit for
    energy objective, we present an O(n⁵)-time algorithm for computing the minimum
    initial credit for all nodes of G, improving the previously known O(n⁸) bound.
    At the heart of our approach lies an algorithm for the efficient construction
    of strongly-balanced tree decompositions of constant-treewidth graphs. Given a
    constant-treewidth graph G' of n nodes and a positive integer λ, our algorithm
    constructs a binary tree decomposition of G' of width O(λ) with the property that
    the size of each subtree decreases geometrically with rate (1/2 + 2^{-λ})."

  text: 'Stateless model checking (SMC) is one of the standard approaches to the verification
    of concurrent programs. As scheduling non-determinism creates exponentially large
    spaces of thread interleavings, SMC attempts to partition this space into equivalence
    classes and explore only a few representatives from each class. The efficiency
    of this approach depends on two factors: (a) the coarseness of the partitioning,
    and (b) the time to generate representatives in each class. For this reason, the
    search for coarse partitionings that are efficiently explorable is an active research
    challenge. In this work we present   RVF-SMC , a new SMC algorithm that uses a
    novel reads-value-from (RVF) partitioning. Intuitively, two interleavings are
    deemed equivalent if they agree on the value obtained in each read event, and
    read events induce consistent causal orderings between them. The RVF partitioning
    is provably coarser than recent approaches based on Mazurkiewicz and “reads-from”
    partitionings. Our experimental evaluation reveals that RVF is quite often a very
    effective equivalence, as the underlying partitioning is exponentially coarser
    than other approaches. Moreover,   RVF-SMC  generates representatives very efficiently,
    as the reduction in the partitioning is often met with significant speed-ups in
    the model checking task.'

  text: "Interprocedural data-flow analyses form an expressive and useful paradigm
    of numerous static analysis applications, such as live variables analysis, alias
    analysis and null pointers analysis. The most widely-used framework for interprocedural
    data-flow analysis is IFDS, which encompasses distributive data-flow functions
    over a finite domain. On-demand data-flow analyses restrict the focus of the analysis
    on specific program locations and data facts. This setting provides a natural
    split between (i) an offline (or preprocessing) phase, where the program is partially
    analyzed and analysis summaries are created, and (ii) an online (or query) phase,
    where analysis queries arrive on demand and the summaries are used to speed up
    answering queries.\r\nIn this work, we consider on-demand IFDS analyses where
    the queries concern program locations of the same procedure (aka same-context
    queries). We exploit the fact that flow graphs of programs have low treewidth
    to develop faster algorithms that are space and time optimal for many common data-flow
    analyses, in both the preprocessing and the query phase. We also use treewidth
    to develop query solutions that are embarrassingly parallelizable, i.e. the total
    work for answering each query is split to a number of threads such that each thread
    performs only a constant amount of work. Finally, we implement a static analyzer
    based on our algorithms, and perform a series of on-demand analysis experiments
    on standard benchmarks. Our experimental results show a drastic speed-up of the
    queries after only a lightweight preprocessing phase, which significantly outperforms
    existing techniques."

  text: Discrete-time Markov Chains (MCs) and Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are
    two standard formalisms in system analysis. Their main associated quantitative
    objectives are hitting probabilities, discounted sum, and mean payoff. Although
    there are many techniques for computing these objectives in general MCs/MDPs,
    they have not been thoroughly studied in terms of parameterized algorithms, particularly
    when treewidth is used as the parameter. This is in sharp contrast to qualitative
    objectives for MCs, MDPs and graph games, for which treewidth-based algorithms
    yield significant complexity improvements. In this work, we show that treewidth
    can also be used to obtain faster algorithms for the quantitative problems. For
    an MC with n states and m transitions, we show that each of the classical quantitative
    objectives can be computed in   O((n+m)⋅t2)  time, given a tree decomposition
    of the MC with width t. Our results also imply a bound of   O(κ⋅(n+m)⋅t2)  for
    each objective on MDPs, where   κ  is the number of strategy-iteration refinements
    required for the given input and objective. Finally, we make an experimental evaluation
    of our new algorithms on low-treewidth MCs and MDPs obtained from the DaCapo benchmark
    suite. Our experiments show that on low-treewidth MCs and MDPs, our algorithms
    outperform existing well-established methods by one or more orders of magnitude.

  text: 'We consider a real-time setting where an environment releases sequences of
    firm-deadline tasks, and an online scheduler chooses on-the-fly the ones to execute
    on a single processor so as to maximize cumulated utility. The competitive ratio
    is a well-known performance measure for the scheduler: it gives the worst-case
    ratio, among all possible choices for the environment, of the cumulated utility
    of the online scheduler versus an offline scheduler that knows these choices in
    advance. Traditionally, competitive analysis is performed by hand, while automated
    techniques are rare and only handle static environments with independent tasks.
    We present a quantitative-verification framework for precedence-aware competitive
    analysis, where task releases may depend on preceding scheduling choices, i.e.,
    the environment can respond to scheduling decisions dynamically . We consider
    two general classes of precedences: 1) follower precedences force the release
    of a dependent task upon the completion of a set of precursor tasks, while and
    2) pairing precedences modify the characteristics of a dependent task provided
    the completion of a set of precursor tasks. Precedences make competitive analysis
    challenging, as the online and offline schedulers operate on diverging sequences.
    We make a formal presentation of our framework, and use a GPU-based implementation
    to analyze ten well-known schedulers on precedence-based application examples
    taken from the existing literature: 1) a handshake protocol (HP); 2) network packet-switching;
    3) query scheduling (QS); and 4) a sporadic-interrupt setting. Our experimental
    results show that precedences and task parameters can vary drastically the best
    scheduler. Our framework thus supports application designers in choosing the best
    scheduler among a given set automatically.'

  text: The fixation probability of a single mutant invading a population of residents
    is among the most widely-studied quantities in evolutionary dynamics. Amplifiers
    of natural selection are population structures that increase the fixation probability
    of advantageous mutants, compared to well-mixed populations. Extensive studies
    have shown that many amplifiers exist for the Birth-death Moran process, some
    of them substantially increasing the fixation probability or even guaranteeing
    fixation in the limit of large population size. On the other hand, no amplifiers
    are known for the death-Birth Moran process, and computer-assisted exhaustive
    searches have failed to discover amplification. In this work we resolve this disparity,
    by showing that any amplification under death-Birth updating is necessarily bounded
    and transient. Our boundedness result states that even if a population structure
    does amplify selection, the resulting fixation probability is close to that of
    the well-mixed population. Our transience result states that for any population
    structure there exists a threshold r⋆ such that the population structure ceases
    to amplify selection if the mutant fitness advantage r is larger than r⋆. Finally,
    we also extend the above results to δ-death-Birth updating, which is a combination
    of Birth-death and death-Birth updating. On the positive side, we identify population
    structures that maintain amplification for a wide range of values r and δ. These
    results demonstrate that amplification of natural selection depends on the specific
    mechanisms of the evolutionary process.

  text: "Interprocedural analysis is at the heart of numerous applications in programming
    languages, such as alias analysis, constant propagation, and so on. Recursive
    state machines (RSMs) are standard models for interprocedural analysis. We consider
    a general framework with RSMs where the transitions are labeled from a semiring
    and path properties are algebraic with semiring operations. RSMs with algebraic
    path properties can model interprocedural dataflow analysis problems, the shortest
    path problem, the most probable path problem, and so on. The traditional algorithms
    for interprocedural analysis focus on path properties where the starting point
    is fixed as the entry point of a specific method. In this work, we consider possible
    multiple queries as required in many applications such as in alias analysis. The
    study of multiple queries allows us to bring in an important algorithmic distinction
    between the resource usage of the one-time preprocessing vs for each individual
    query. The second aspect we consider is that the control flow graphs for most
    programs have constant treewidth.\r\n\r\nOur main contributions are simple and
    implementable algorithms that support multiple queries for algebraic path properties
    for RSMs that have constant treewidth. Our theoretical results show that our algorithms
    have small additional one-time preprocessing but can answer subsequent queries
    significantly faster as compared to the current algorithmic solutions for interprocedural
    dataflow analysis. We have also implemented our algorithms and evaluated their
    performance for performing on-demand interprocedural dataflow analysis on various
    domains, such as for live variable analysis and reaching definitions, on a standard
    benchmark set. Our experimental results align with our theoretical statements
    and show that after a lightweight preprocessing, on-demand queries are answered
    much faster than the standard existing algorithmic approaches.\r\n"

  text: The rate of biological evolution depends on the fixation probability and on
    the fixation time of new mutants. Intensive research has focused on identifying
    population structures that augment the fixation probability of advantageous mutants.
    But these amplifiers of natural selection typically increase fixation time. Here
    we study population structures that achieve a tradeoff between fixation probability
    and time. First, we show that no amplifiers can have an asymptotically lower absorption
    time than the well-mixed population. Then we design population structures that
    substantially augment the fixation probability with just a minor increase in fixation
    time. Finally, we show that those structures enable higher effective rate of evolution
    than the well-mixed population provided that the rate of generating advantageous
    mutants is relatively low. Our work sheds light on how population structure affects
    the rate of evolution. Moreover, our structures could be useful for lab-based,
    medical, or industrial applications of evolutionary optimization.

  text: 'There is a huge gap between the speeds of modern caches and main memories,
    and therefore cache misses account for a considerable loss of efficiency in programs.
    The predominant technique to address this issue has been Data Packing: data elements
    that are frequently accessed within time proximity are packed into the same cache
    block, thereby minimizing accesses to the main memory. We consider the algorithmic
    problem of Data Packing on a two-level memory system. Given a reference sequence
    R of accesses to data elements, the task is to partition the elements into cache
    blocks such that the number of cache misses on R is minimized. The problem is
    notoriously difficult: it is NP-hard even when the cache has size 1, and is hard
    to approximate for any cache size larger than 4. Therefore, all existing techniques
    for Data Packing are based on heuristics and lack theoretical guarantees. In this
    work, we present the first positive theoretical results for Data Packing, along
    with new and stronger negative results. We consider the problem under the lens
    of the underlying access hypergraphs, which are hypergraphs of affinities between
    the data elements, where the order of an access hypergraph corresponds to the
    size of the affinity group. We study the problem parameterized by the treewidth
    of access hypergraphs, which is a standard notion in graph theory to measure the
    closeness of a graph to a tree. Our main results are as follows: We show there
    is a number q* depending on the cache parameters such that (a) if the access hypergraph
    of order q* has constant treewidth, then there is a linear-time algorithm for
    Data Packing; (b)the Data Packing problem remains NP-hard even if the access hypergraph
    of order q*-1 has constant treewidth. Thus, we establish a fine-grained dichotomy
    depending on a single parameter, namely, the highest order among access hypegraphs
    that have constant treewidth; and establish the optimal value q* of this parameter.
    Finally, we present an experimental evaluation of a prototype implementation of
    our algorithm. Our results demonstrate that, in practice, access hypergraphs of
    many commonly-used algorithms have small treewidth. We compare our approach with
    several state-of-the-art heuristic-based algorithms and show that our algorithm
    leads to significantly fewer cache-misses. '

  text: 'The verification of concurrent programs remains an open challenge, as thread
    interaction has to be accounted for, which leads to state-space explosion. Stateless
    model checking battles this problem by exploring traces rather than states of
    the program. As there are exponentially many traces, dynamic partial-order reduction
    (DPOR) techniques are used to partition the trace space into equivalence classes,
    and explore a few representatives from each class. The standard equivalence that
    underlies most DPOR techniques is the happens-before equivalence, however recent
    works have spawned a vivid interest towards coarser equivalences. The efficiency
    of such approaches is a product of two parameters: (i) the size of the partitioning
    induced by the equivalence, and (ii) the time spent by the exploration algorithm
    in each class of the partitioning. In this work, we present a new equivalence,
    called value-happens-before and show that it has two appealing features. First,
    value-happens-before is always at least as coarse as the happens-before equivalence,
    and can be even exponentially coarser. Second, the value-happens-before partitioning
    is efficiently explorable when the number of threads is bounded. We present an
    algorithm called value-centric DPOR (VCDPOR), which explores the underlying partitioning
    using polynomial time per class. Finally, we perform an experimental evaluation
    of VCDPOR on various benchmarks, and compare it against other state-of-the-art
    approaches. Our results show that value-happens-before typically induces a significant
    reduction in the size of the underlying partitioning, which leads to a considerable
    reduction in the running time for exploring the whole partitioning.'

  text: 'This paper is devoted to automatic competitive analysis of real-time scheduling
    algorithms for firm-deadline tasksets, where only completed tasks con- tribute
    some utility to the system. Given such a taskset T , the competitive ratio of
    an on-line scheduling algorithm A for T is the worst-case utility ratio of A over
    the utility achieved by a clairvoyant algorithm. We leverage the theory of quantitative
    graph games to address the competitive analysis and competitive synthesis problems.
    For the competitive analysis case, given any taskset T and any finite-memory on-
    line scheduling algorithm A , we show that the competitive ratio of A in T can
    be computed in polynomial time in the size of the state space of A . Our approach
    is flexible as it also provides ways to model meaningful constraints on the released
    task sequences that determine the competitive ratio. We provide an experimental
    study of many well-known on-line scheduling algorithms, which demonstrates the
    feasibility of our competitive analysis approach that effectively replaces human
    ingenuity (required Preliminary versions of this paper have appeared in Chatterjee

    synthesis case, we are just given a taskset T , and the goal is to automatically
    synthesize an opti- mal on-line scheduling algorithm A , i.e., one that guarantees
    the largest competitive ratio possible for T . We show how the competitive synthesis
    problem can be reduced to a two-player graph game with partial information, and
    establish that the compu- tational complexity of solving this game is Np -complete.
    The competitive synthesis problem is hence in Np in the size of the state space
    of the non-deterministic labeled transition system encoding the taskset. Overall,
    the proposed framework assists in the selection of suitable scheduling algorithms
    for a given taskset, which is in fact the most common situation in real-time systems

  text: 'Because of the intrinsic randomness of the evolutionary process, a mutant
    with a fitness advantage has some chance to be selected but no certainty. Any
    experiment that searches for advantageous mutants will lose many of them due to
    random drift. It is therefore of great interest to find population structures
    that improve the odds of advantageous mutants. Such structures are called amplifiers
    of natural selection: they increase the probability that advantageous mutants
    are selected. Arbitrarily strong amplifiers guarantee the selection of advantageous
    mutants, even for very small fitness advantage. Despite intensive research over
    the past decade, arbitrarily strong amplifiers have remained rare. Here we show
    how to construct a large variety of them. Our amplifiers are so simple that they
    could be useful in biotechnology, when optimizing biological molecules, or as
    a diagnostic tool, when searching for faster dividing cells or viruses. They could
    also occur in natural population structures.'

  text: "We study algorithmic questions wrt algebraic path properties in concurrent
    systems, where the transitions of the system are labeled from a complete, closed
    semiring. The algebraic path properties can model dataflow analysis problems,
    the shortest path problem, and many other natural problems that arise in program
    analysis. We consider that each component of the concurrent system is a graph
    with constant treewidth, a property satisfied by the controlflow graphs of most
    programs. We allow for multiple possible queries, which arise naturally in demand
    driven dataflow analysis. The study of multiple queries allows us to consider
    the tradeoff between the resource usage of the one-time preprocessing and for
    each individual query. The traditional approach constructs the product graph of
    all components and applies the best-known graph algorithm on the product. In this
    approach, even the answer to a single query requires the transitive closure (i.e.,
    the results of all possible queries), which provides no room for tradeoff between
    preprocessing and query time.\r\nOur main contributions are algorithms that significantly
    improve the worst-case running time of the traditional approach, and provide various
    tradeoffs depending on the number of queries. For example, in a concurrent system
    of two components, the traditional approach requires hexic time in the worst case
    for answering one query as well as computing the transitive closure, whereas we
    show that with one-time preprocessing in almost cubic time, each subsequent query
    can be answered in at most linear time, and even the transitive closure can be
    computed in almost quartic time. Furthermore, we establish conditional optimality
    results showing that the worst-case running time of our algorithms cannot be improved
    without achieving major breakthroughs in graph algorithms (i.e., improving the
    worst-case bound for the shortest path problem in general graphs). Preliminary
    experimental results show that our algorithms perform favorably on several benchmarks.\r\n"

  text: "This dissertation focuses on algorithmic aspects of program verification,
    and presents modeling and complexity advances on several problems related to the\r\nstatic
    analysis of programs, the stateless model checking of concurrent programs, and
    the competitive analysis of real-time scheduling algorithms.\r\nOur contributions
    can be broadly grouped into five categories.\r\n\r\nOur first contribution is
    a set of new algorithms and data structures for the quantitative and data-flow
    analysis of programs, based on the graph-theoretic notion of treewidth.\r\nIt
    has been observed that the control-flow graphs of typical programs have special
    structure, and are characterized as graphs of small treewidth.\r\nWe utilize this
    structural property to provide faster algorithms for the quantitative and data-flow
    analysis of recursive and concurrent programs.\r\nIn most cases we make an algebraic
    treatment of the considered problem,\r\nwhere several interesting analyses, such
    as the reachability, shortest path, and certain kind of data-flow analysis problems
    follow as special cases. \r\nWe exploit the constant-treewidth property to obtain
    algorithmic improvements for on-demand versions of the problems, \r\nand provide
    data structures with various tradeoffs between the resources spent in the preprocessing
    and querying phase.\r\nWe also improve on the algorithmic complexity of quantitative
    problems outside the algebraic path framework,\r\nnamely of the minimum mean-payoff,
    minimum ratio, and minimum initial credit for energy problems.\r\n\r\n\r\nOur
    second contribution is a set of algorithms for Dyck reachability with applications
    to data-dependence analysis and alias analysis.\r\nIn particular, we develop an
    optimal algorithm for Dyck reachability on bidirected graphs, which are ubiquitous
    in context-insensitive, field-sensitive points-to analysis.\r\nAdditionally, we
    develop an efficient algorithm for context-sensitive data-dependence analysis
    via Dyck reachability,\r\nwhere the task is to obtain analysis summaries of library
    code in the presence of callbacks.\r\nOur algorithm preprocesses libraries in
    almost linear time, after which the contribution of the library in the complexity
    of the client analysis is (i)~linear in the number of call sites and (ii)~only
    logarithmic in the size of the whole library, as opposed to linear in the size
    of the whole library.\r\nFinally, we prove that Dyck reachability is Boolean Matrix
    Multiplication-hard in general, and the hardness also holds for graphs of constant
    treewidth.\r\nThis hardness result strongly indicates that there exist no combinatorial
    algorithms for Dyck reachability with truly subcubic complexity.\r\n\r\n\r\nOur
    third contribution is the formalization and algorithmic treatment of the Quantitative
    Interprocedural Analysis framework.\r\nIn this framework, the transitions of a
    recursive program are annotated as good, bad or neutral, and receive a weight
    which measures\r\nthe magnitude of their respective effect.\r\nThe Quantitative
    Interprocedural Analysis problem asks to determine whether there exists an infinite
    run of the program where the long-run ratio of the bad weights over the good weights
    is above a given threshold.\r\nWe illustrate how several quantitative problems
    related to static analysis of recursive programs can be instantiated in this framework,\r\nand
    present some case studies to this direction.\r\n\r\n\r\nOur fourth contribution
    is a new dynamic partial-order reduction for the stateless model checking of concurrent
    programs. Traditional approaches rely on the standard Mazurkiewicz equivalence
    between  traces, by means of partitioning the trace space into equivalence classes,
    and attempting to explore a few representatives from each class.\r\nWe present
    a new dynamic partial-order reduction method  called the Data-centric Partial
    Order Reduction (DC-DPOR).\r\nOur algorithm is based on a new equivalence between
    traces, called the observation equivalence.\r\nDC-DPOR explores a coarser partitioning
    of the trace space than any exploration method based on the standard Mazurkiewicz
    equivalence.\r\nDepending on the program, the new partitioning can be even exponentially
    coarser.\r\nAdditionally, DC-DPOR spends only polynomial time in each explored
    class.\r\n\r\n\r\nOur fifth contribution is the use of automata and game-theoretic
    verification techniques in the competitive analysis and synthesis of real-time
    scheduling algorithms for firm-deadline tasks.\r\nOn the analysis side, we leverage
    automata on infinite words to compute the competitive ratio of real-time schedulers
    subject to various environmental constraints.\r\nOn the synthesis side, we introduce
    a new instance of two-player mean-payoff partial-information games, and show\r\nhow
    the synthesis of an optimal real-time scheduler can be reduced to computing winning
    strategies in this new type of games."
acknowledgement: "First, I am thankful to my advisor, Krishnendu Chatterjee, for offering
  me the opportunity to\r\nmaterialize my scientific curiosity in a remarkably wide
  range of interesting topics, as well as for his constant availability and continuous
  support throughout my doctoral studies. I have had the privilege of collaborating
  with, discussing and getting inspired by all members of my committee: Thomas A.
  Henzinger, Ulrich Schmid and Martin A. Nowak. The role of the above four people
  has been very instrumental both to the research carried out for this dissertation,
  and to the researcher I evolved to in the process.\r\nI have greatly enjoyed my
  numerous brainstorming sessions with Rasmus Ibsen-Jensen, many\r\nof which led to
  results on low-treewidth graphs presented here.  I thank Alex Kößler for our\r\ndiscussions
  on modeling and analyzing real-time scheduling algorithms, Yaron Velner for our\r\ncollaboration
  on the Quantitative Interprocedural Analysis framework, and Nishant Sinha for our
  initial discussions on partial order reduction techniques in stateless model checking.
  I also thank Jan Otop, Ben Adlam, Bernhard Kragl and Josef Tkadlec for our fruitful
  collaborations on\r\ntopics outside the scope of this dissertation, as well as the
  interns Prateesh Goyal, Amir Kafshdar Goharshady, Samarth Mishra, Bhavya Choudhary
  and Marek Chalupa, with whom I have shared my excitement on various research topics.
  Together with my collaborators, I thank officemates and members of the Chatterjee
  and Henzinger groups throughout the years, Thorsten Tarrach, Ventsi Chonev, Roopsha

  text: 'The fixation probability is the probability that a new mutant introduced
    in a homogeneous population eventually takes over the entire population. The fixation
    probability is a fundamental quantity of natural selection, and known to depend
    on the population structure. Amplifiers of natural selection are population structures
    which increase the fixation probability of advantageous mutants, as compared to
    the baseline case of well-mixed populations. In this work we focus on symmetric
    population structures represented as undirected graphs. In the regime of undirected
    graphs, the strongest amplifier known has been the Star graph, and the existence
    of undirected graphs with stronger amplification properties has remained open
    for over a decade. In this work we present the Comet and Comet-swarm families
    of undirected graphs. We show that for a range of fitness values of the mutants,
    the Comet and Cometswarm graphs have fixation probability strictly larger than
    the fixation probability of the Star graph, for fixed population size and at the
    limit of large populations, respectively. '
