A Symbolic Decision Procedure for Symbolic Alternating Finite Automata
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
We introduce Symbolic Alternating Finite Automata (s-AFA) as an expressive, succinct, and decidable model for describing sets of finite sequences over arbitrary alphabets. ...
Boolean operations over s-AFAs have linear complexity, which is in sharp contrast with the quadratic cost of intersection and union for non-alternating symbolic automata. ...
Symbolic alternating finite automata This section gives a formal description of symbolic alternating finite automata (S-AFA). ...

This paper presents a time-saving decision procedure for

A k-definite stochastic automaton is defined as a finite stochastic automaton in which the state probability distribution depends only on the last & input symbols for some definite integer & or, alternatively ...
Nested Antichains for WS1S
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
The way in which the standard decision procedure processes quantifiers involves determinization, with its worst case exponential complexity, for every quantifier alternation in the prefix of a formula. ...
Our approach is applicable within the state-of-the-art automata-based WS1S decision procedure implemented, e.g. in MONA. ...
In Sections 3 and 4, we introduce finite word automata and describe the classical decision procedure for WS1S based on finite word automata. ...

Verification of Infinite-State Systems by Combining Abstraction and Reachability Analysis
[chapter]
1999
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We develop a general methodology for analyzing such systems based on combining automatic generation of abstract models (not necessarily finite-state) with symbolic reachability analysis. ...
We propose a realization of this approach in a framework which extends PVS with automatic invariant checking strategies, automatic procedures for generating abstract models, as well as automatabased decision ...

Alternating Automata Modulo First Order Theories
[chapter]
2019
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This provides a method for checking inclusion of timed and finite-memory register automata, and emptiness of quantified predicate automata, previously used in the verification of parameterized concurrent ...
We introduce first-order alternating automata, a generalization of boolean alternating automata, in which transition rules are described by multisorted first-order formulae, with states and internal variables ...
Since even such simple classes of alternating automata have no general decision procedure for emptiness, we use an abstraction-refinement semi-algorithm based on lazy annotation [20, 21] . ...

Symbolic tree automata

Information Processing Letters
We introduce symbolic tree automata as a generalization of finite tree automata with a parametric alphabet over any given background theory. ...
This generalizes the corresponding classical properties known for finite tree automata. ...
The notion of an alternating symbolic tree automaton is also introduced in [10] . Alternating STAs arise naturally as domain automata of nonlinear symbolic tree transducers. ...

Alternating, private alternating, and quantum alternating realtime automata

2019
arXiv
pre-print
Regarding quantum finite automata (QFAs), we show that the emptiness problem is undecidable both for universal QFAs on general alphabets, and for alternating QFAs with two alternations on unary alphabets ...
Then, we present two equivalent definitions of realtime private alternating finite automata (PAFAs). We show that the emptiness problem is undecidable for PAFAs. ...

Bounded model checking of infinite state systems

Formal methods in system design
Bounded model checking (BMC) is an attractive alternative to symbolic model checking, since it often allows a more efficient verification. ...
The idea of BMC is to reduce the model checking problem to a satisfiability problem of the underlying base logic, so that sophisticated decision procedures can be utilized to check the resulting formula ...

Thus the aim of this Master's Thesis is to provide such a library. The present paper first describes the theoretical background of finite tree automata and regular tree languages. ...
However, currently there is no tree automata library implementation that would provide an efficient and flexible support for such methods. ...
