text: 'Solving parity games, which are equivalent to modal μ-calculus model checking,
is a central algorithmic problem in formal methods, with applications in reactive
synthesis, program repair, verification of branching-time properties, etc. Besides
the standard compu- tation model with the explicit representation of games, another
important theoretical model of computation is that of set-based symbolic algorithms.
Set-based symbolic algorithms use basic set operations and one-step predecessor
operations on the implicit description of games, rather than the explicit representation.
The significance of symbolic algorithms is that they provide scalable algorithms
for large finite-state systems, as well as for infinite-state systems with finite
quotient. Consider parity games on graphs with n vertices and parity conditions
with d priorities. While there is a rich literature of explicit algorithms for
parity games, the main results for set-based symbolic algorithms are as follows:
(a) the basic algorithm that requires O(nd) symbolic operations and O(d) symbolic
space; and (b) an improved algorithm that requires O(nd/3+1) symbolic operations
and O(n) symbolic space. In this work, our contributions are as follows: (1) We
present a black-box set-based symbolic algorithm based on the explicit progress
measure algorithm. Two important consequences of our algorithm are as follows:
(a) a set-based symbolic algorithm for parity games that requires quasi-polynomially
many symbolic operations and O(n) symbolic space; and (b) any future improvement
in progress measure based explicit algorithms immediately imply an efficiency
improvement in our set-based symbolic algorithm for parity games. (2) We present
a set-based symbolic algorithm that requires quasi-polynomially many symbolic
operations and O(d · log n) symbolic space. Moreover, for the important special
case of d ≤ log n, our algorithm requires only polynomially many symbolic operations
and poly-logarithmic symbolic space.'

text: Partially-observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with discounted-sum
payoff are a standard framework to model a wide range of problems related to decision
making under uncertainty. Traditionally, the goal has been to obtain policies
that optimize the expectation of the discounted-sum payoff. A key drawback of
the expectation measure is that even low probability events with extreme payoff
can significantly affect the expectation, and thus the obtained policies are not
necessarily risk-averse. An alternate approach is to optimize the probability
that the payoff is above a certain threshold, which allows obtaining risk-averse
policies, but ignores optimization of the expectation. We consider the expectation
optimization with probabilistic guarantee (EOPG) problem, where the goal is to
optimize the expectation ensuring that the payoff is above a given threshold with
at least a specified probability. We present several results on the EOPG problem,
including the first algorithm to solve it.

text: 'Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) are the standard
models for planning under uncertainty with both finite and infinite horizon. Besides
the well-known discounted-sum objective, indefinite-horizon objective (aka Goal-POMDPs)
is another classical objective for POMDPs. In this case, given a set of target
states and a positive cost for each transition, the optimization objective is
to minimize the expected total cost until a target state is reached. In the literature,
RTDP-Bel or heuristic search value iteration (HSVI) have been used for solving
Goal-POMDPs. Neither of these algorithms has theoretical convergence guarantees,
and HSVI may even fail to terminate its trials. We give the following contributions:
(1) We discuss the challenges introduced in Goal-POMDPs and illustrate how they
prevent the original HSVI from converging. (2) We present a novel algorithm inspired
by HSVI, termed Goal-HSVI, and show that our algorithm has convergence guarantees.
(3) We show that Goal-HSVI outperforms RTDP-Bel on a set of well-known examples.'

text: People sometimes make their admirable deeds and accomplishments hard to spot,
such as by giving anonymously or avoiding bragging. Such ‘buried’ signals are
hard to reconcile with standard models of signalling or indirect reciprocity,
which motivate costly pro-social behaviour by reputational gains. To explain these
phenomena, we design a simple game theory model, which we call the signal-burying
game. This game has the feature that senders can bury their signal by deliberately
reducing the probability of the signal being observed. If the signal is observed,
however, it is identified as having been buried. We show under which conditions
buried signals can be maintained, using static equilibrium concepts and calculations
of the evolutionary dynamics. We apply our analysis to shed light on a number
of otherwise puzzling social phenomena, including modesty, anonymous donations,
subtlety in art and fashion, and overeagerness.

text: Graph games played by two players over finite-state graphs are central in
many problems in computer science. In particular, graph games with ω -regular
winning conditions, specified as parity objectives, which can express properties
such as safety, liveness, fairness, are the basic framework for verification and
synthesis of reactive systems. The decisions for a player at various states of
the graph game are represented as strategies. While the algorithmic problem for
solving graph games with parity objectives has been widely studied, the most prominent
data-structure for strategy representation in graph games has been binary decision
diagrams (BDDs). However, due to the bit-level representation, BDDs do not retain
the inherent flavor of the decisions of strategies, and are notoriously hard to
minimize to obtain succinct representation. In this work we propose decision trees
for strategy representation in graph games. Decision trees retain the flavor of
decisions of strategies and allow entropy-based minimization to obtain succinct
trees. However, decision trees work in settings (e.g., probabilistic models) where
errors are allowed, and overfitting of data is typically avoided. In contrast,
for strategies in graph games no error is allowed, and the decision tree must
represent the entire strategy. We develop new techniques to extend decision trees
to overcome the above obstacles, while retaining the entropy-based techniques
to obtain succinct trees. We have implemented our techniques to extend the existing
decision tree solvers. We present experimental results for problems in reactive
synthesis to show that decision trees provide a much more efficient data-structure
for strategy representation as compared to BDDs.

text: A model of computation that is widely used in the formal analysis of reactive
systems is symbolic algorithms. In this model the access to the input graph is
restricted to consist of symbolic operations, which are expensive in comparison
to the standard RAM operations. We give lower bounds on the number of symbolic
operations for basic graph problems such as the computation of the strongly connected
components and of the approximate diameter as well as for fundamental problems
in model checking such as safety, liveness, and coliveness. Our lower bounds are
linear in the number of vertices of the graph, even for constant-diameter graphs.
For none of these problems lower bounds on the number of symbolic operations were
known before. The lower bounds show an interesting separation of these problems
from the reachability problem, which can be solved with O(D) symbolic operations,
where D is the diameter of the graph. Additionally we present an approximation
algorithm for the graph diameter which requires Õ(n/D) symbolic steps to achieve
a (1 +ϵ)-approximation for any constant > 0. This compares to O(n/D) symbolic
steps for the (naive) exact algorithm and O(D) symbolic steps for a 2-approximation.
Finally we also give a refined analysis of the strongly connected components algorithms
of [15], showing that it uses an optimal number of symbolic steps that is proportional
to the sum of the diameters of the strongly connected components.

text: 'Smart contracts are computer programs that are executed by a network of mutually
distrusting agents, without the need of an external trusted authority. Smart contracts
handle and transfer assets of considerable value (in the form of crypto-currency
like Bitcoin). Hence, it is crucial that their implementation is bug-free. We
identify the utility (or expected payoff) of interacting with such smart contracts
as the basic and canonical quantitative property for such contracts. We present
a framework for such quantitative analysis of smart contracts. Such a formal framework
poses new and novel research challenges in programming languages, as it requires
modeling of game-theoretic aspects to analyze incentives for deviation from honest
behavior and modeling utilities which are not specified as standard temporal properties
such as safety and termination. While game-theoretic incentives have been analyzed
in the security community, their analysis has been restricted to the very special
case of stateless games. However, to analyze smart contracts, stateful analysis
is required as it must account for the different program states of the protocol.
Our main contributions are as follows: we present (i)~a simplified programming
language for smart contracts; (ii)~an automatic translation of the programs to
state-based games; (iii)~an abstraction-refinement approach to solve such games;
and (iv)~experimental results on real-world-inspired smart contracts.'

text: Probabilistic programs extend classical imperative programs with real-valued
random variables and random branching. The most basic liveness property for such
programs is the termination property. The qualitative (aka almost-sure) termination
problem asks whether a given program program terminates with probability 1. While
ranking functions provide a sound and complete method for non-probabilistic programs,
the extension of them to probabilistic programs is achieved via ranking supermartingales
(RSMs). Although deep theoretical results have been established about RSMs, their
application to probabilistic programs with nondeterminism has been limited only
to programs of restricted control-flow structure. For non-probabilistic programs,
lexicographic ranking functions provide a compositional and practical approach
for termination analysis of real-world programs. In this work we introduce lexicographic
RSMs and show that they present a sound method for almost-sure termination of
probabilistic programs with nondeterminism. We show that lexicographic RSMs provide
a tool for compositional reasoning about almost-sure termination, and for probabilistic
programs with linear arithmetic they can be synthesized efficiently (in polynomial
time). We also show that with additional restrictions even asymptotic bounds on
expected termination time can be obtained through lexicographic RSMs. Finally,
we present experimental results on benchmarks adapted from previous work to demonstrate
the effectiveness of our approach.

text: Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) are widely used in
probabilistic planning problems in which an agent interacts with an environment
using noisy and imprecise sensors. We study a setting in which the sensors are
only partially defined and the goal is to synthesize “weakest” additional sensors,
such that in the resulting POMDP, there is a small-memory policy for the agent
that almost-surely (with probability 1) satisfies a reachability objective. We
show that the problem is NP-complete, and present a symbolic algorithm by encoding
the problem into SAT instances. We illustrate trade-offs between the amount of
memory of the policy and the number of additional sensors on a simple example.
We have implemented our approach and consider three classical POMDP examples from
the literature, and show that in all the examples the number of sensors can be
significantly decreased (as compared to the existing solutions in the literature)
without increasing the complexity of the policies.

text: 'We consider planning problems for graphs, Markov decision processes (MDPs),
and games on graphs. While graphs represent the most basic planning model, MDPs
represent interaction with nature and games on graphs represent interaction with
an adversarial environment. We consider two planning problems where there are
k different target sets, and the problems are as follows: (a) the coverage problem
asks whether there is a plan for each individual target set; and (b) the sequential
target reachability problem asks whether the targets can be reached in sequence.
For the coverage problem, we present a linear-time algorithm for graphs, and quadratic
conditional lower bound for MDPs and games on graphs. For the sequential target
problem, we present a linear-time algorithm for graphs, a sub-quadratic algorithm
for MDPs, and a quadratic conditional lower bound for games on graphs. Our results
with conditional lower bounds establish (i) model-separation results showing that
for the coverage problem MDPs and games on graphs are harder than graphs and for
the sequential reachability problem games on graphs are harder than MDPs and graphs;
and (ii) objective-separation results showing that for MDPs the coverage problem
is harder than the sequential target problem.'

text: 'Reciprocity is a major factor in human social life and accounts for a large
part of cooperation in our communities. Direct reciprocity arises when repeated
interactions occur between the same individuals. The framework of iterated games
formalizes this phenomenon. Despite being introduced more than five decades ago,
the concept keeps offering beautiful surprises. Recent theoretical research driven
by new mathematical tools has proposed a remarkable dichotomy among the crucial
strategies: successful individuals either act as partners or as rivals. Rivals
strive for unilateral advantages by applying selfish or extortionate strategies.
Partners aim to share the payoff for mutual cooperation, but are ready to fight
back when being exploited. Which of these behaviours evolves depends on the environment.
Whereas small population sizes and a limited number of rounds favour rivalry,
partner strategies are selected when populations are large and relationships stable.
Only partners allow for evolution of cooperation, while the rivals’ attempt to
put themselves first leads to defection. Hilbe et al. synthesize recent theoretical
work on zero-determinant and ‘rival’ versus ‘partner’ strategies in social dilemmas.
They describe the environments under which these contrasting selfish or cooperative
strategies emerge in evolution.'

text: Direct reciprocity is a mechanism for cooperation among humans. Many of our
daily interactions are repeated. We interact repeatedly with our family, friends,
colleagues, members of the local and even global community. In the theory of repeated
games, it is a tacit assumption that the various games that a person plays simultaneously
have no effect on each other. Here we introduce a general framework that allows
us to analyze “crosstalk” between a player’s concurrent games. In the presence
of crosstalk, the action a person experiences in one game can alter the person’s
decision in another. We find that crosstalk impedes the maintenance of cooperation
and requires stronger levels of forgiveness. The magnitude of the effect depends
on the population structure. In more densely connected social groups, crosstalk
has a stronger effect. A harsh retaliator, such as Tit-for-Tat, is unable to counteract
crosstalk. The crosstalk framework provides a unified interpretation of direct
and upstream reciprocity in the context of repeated games.

text: We study controller synthesis problems for finite-state Markov decision processes,
where the objective is to optimize the expected mean-payoff performance and stability
(also known as variability in the literature). We argue that the basic notion
of expressing the stability using the statistical variance of the mean payoff
is sometimes insufficient, and propose an alternative definition. We show that
a strategy ensuring both the expected mean payoff and the variance below given
bounds requires randomization and memory, under both the above definitions. We
then show that the problem of finding such a strategy can be expressed as a set
of constraints.

text: "Transforming deterministic ω\r\n-automata into deterministic parity automata
is traditionally done using variants of appearance records. We present a more
efficient variant of this approach, tailored to Rabin automata, and several optimizations
applicable to all appearance records. We compare the methods experimentally and
find out that our method produces smaller automata than previous approaches. Moreover,
the experiments demonstrate the potential of our method for LTL synthesis, using
LTL-to-Rabin translators. It leads to significantly smaller parity automata when
compared to state-of-the-art approaches on complex formulae."

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."

text: 'In antagonistic symbioses, such as host–parasite interactions, one population’s
success is the other’s loss. In mutualistic symbioses, such as division of labor,
both parties can gain, but they might have different preferences over the possible
mutualistic arrangements. The rates of evolution of the two populations in a symbiosis
are important determinants of which population will be more successful: Faster
evolution is thought to be favored in antagonistic symbioses (the “Red Queen effect”),
but disfavored in certain mutualistic symbioses (the “Red King effect”). However,
it remains unclear which biological parameters drive these effects. Here, we analyze
the effects of the various determinants of evolutionary rate: generation time,
mutation rate, population size, and the intensity of natural selection. Our main
results hold for the case where mutation is infrequent. Slower evolution causes
a long-term advantage in an important class of mutualistic interactions. Surprisingly,
less intense selection is the strongest driver of this Red King effect, whereas
relative mutation rates and generation times have little effect. In antagonistic
interactions, faster evolution by any means is beneficial. Our results provide
insight into the demographic evolution of symbionts. '

text: Nested weighted automata (NWA) present a robust and convenient automata-theoretic
formalism for quantitative specifications. Previous works have considered NWA
that processed input words only in the forward direction. It is natural to allow
the automata to process input words backwards as well, for example, to measure
the maximal or average time between a response and the preceding request. We therefore
introduce and study bidirectional NWA that can process input words in both directions.
First, we show that bidirectional NWA can express interesting quantitative properties
that are not expressible by forward-only NWA. Second, for the fundamental decision
problems of emptiness and universality, we establish decidability and complexity
results for the new framework which match the best-known results for the special
case of forward-only NWA. Thus, for NWA, the increased expressiveness of bidirectionality
is achieved at no additional computational complexity. This is in stark contrast
to the unweighted case, where bidirectional finite automata are no more expressive
but exponentially more succinct than their forward-only counterparts.

text: 'Two-player games on graphs are central in many problems in formal verification
and program analysis, such as synthesis and verification of open systems. In this
work, we consider solving recursive game graphs (or pushdown game graphs) that
model the control flow of sequential programs with recursion.While pushdown games
have been studied before with qualitative objectives-such as reachability and
?-regular objectives- in this work, we study for the first time such games with
the most well-studied quantitative objective, the mean-payoff objective. In pushdown
games, two types of strategies are relevant: (1) global strategies, which depend
on the entire global history; and (2) modular strategies, which have only local
memory and thus do not depend on the context of invocation but rather only on
the history of the current invocation of the module. Our main results are as follows:
(1) One-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under global strategies
are decidable in polynomial time. (2) Two-player pushdown games with mean-payoff
objectives under global strategies are undecidable. (3) One-player pushdown games
with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies are NP-hard. (4) Two-player
pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies can be solved
in NP (i.e., both one-player and two-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives
under modular strategies are NP-complete). We also establish the optimal strategy
complexity by showing that global strategies for mean-payoff objectives require
infinite memory even in one-player pushdown games and memoryless modular strategies
are sufficient in two-player pushdown games. Finally, we also show that all the
problems have the same complexity if the stack boundedness condition is added,
where along with the mean-payoff objective the player must also ensure that the
stack height is bounded.'

text: 'We consider finite-state and recursive game graphs with multidimensional
mean-payoff objectives. In recursive games two types of strategies are relevant:
global strategies and modular strategies. Our contributions are: (1) We show that
finite-state multidimensional mean-payoff games can be solved in polynomial time
if the number of dimensions and the maximal absolute value of weights are fixed;
whereas for arbitrary dimensions the problem is coNP-complete. (2) We show that
one-player recursive games with multidimensional mean-payoff objectives can be
solved in polynomial time. Both above algorithms are based on hyperplane separation
technique. (3) For recursive games we show that under modular strategies the multidimensional
problem is undecidable. We show that if the number of modules, exits, and the
maximal absolute value of the weights are fixed, then one-dimensional recursive
mean-payoff games under modular strategies can be solved in polynomial time, whereas
for unbounded number of exits or modules the problem is NP-hard.'

text: 'The ubiquity of computation in modern machines and devices imposes a need
to assert the correctness of their behavior. Especially in the case of safety-critical
systems, their designers need to take measures that enforce their safe operation.
Formal methods has emerged as a research field that addresses this challenge:
by rigorously proving that all system executions adhere to their specifications,
the correctness of an implementation under concern can be assured. To achieve
this goal, a plethora of techniques are nowadays available, all of which are optimized
for different system types and application domains.'
