Monadic Second-Order Logic over Rectangular Pictures and Recognizability by Tiling Systems
1996
Information and Computation
It is shown that a set of pictures (rectangular arrays of symbols) is recognized by a finite tiling system iff it is definable in existential monadic second-order logic. ...
As a consequence, finite tiling systems constitute a notion of recognizability over two-dimensional inputs which at the same time generalizes finite-state recognizability over strings and also matches ...
monadic second-order logic is established. ...

Graph acceptors and their specialization for pictures, \tiling systems", are presented, and their equivalence to existential monadic second-order logic is reviewed. ...
Other restricted versions of graph acceptors are discussed, and an intuitive exposition of the recently established monadic quanti er alternation hierarchy over graphs is given. ...

Two results are shown: the first exhibits a class of graphs where the use of “occurrence constraints” in tiling systems can be avoided, and the second shows that over pictures (i.e., over labelled rectangular ...

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We establish a notion of a weighted MSO logics over pictures. The semantics of a weighted formula will be a picture series. ...
We introduce weighted 2-dimensional on-line tessellation automata (W2OTA) and prove that for commutative semirings, the class of picture series defined by sentences of the weighted logics coincides with ...

Perfectly quilted rectangular snake tilings
2009
Theoretical Computer Science
We introduce a particular form of snake tilings to define picture languages, and relate the obtained family to the recognizable picture languages (as defined by Wang tiles). ...
The correspondence for substitution tilings is even closer, and hence is applicable to the Hilbert curve. ...
Acknowledgements We are indebted to Klaus Reinhardt and Jarkko Kari for providing helpful information. We thank the referees for suggestions that improved our presentation. ...

Theoretical Computer Science
In this paper we study the recognizability and deÿnability on existential monadic second order (EMSO) logic of languages related to homogeneous ow event structures (HFES), i.e., the languages of conÿgurations ...
If G is the domain of linear order or binary tree then the recognizability and EMSO-deÿnability of conÿgurations of HFES hold. ...
The binary tree t is represented by the tree model t = (dom(t); S t 1 ; S t 2 ; ¡ t ; In logical formulas we use ÿrst-order variables x; y; z; : : : for positions, and monadic second-order variables X; ...

Weighted Automata and Logics on Graphs
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Weighted automata model quantitative features of the behavior of systems and have been investigated for various structures like words, trees, traces, pictures, and nested words. ...
As a consequence, we obtain corresponding Büchi-type equivalence results known from the recent literature for weighted automata and weighted logics on words, trees, pictures, and nested words. ...
Conclusion We introduced a weighted generalization of Thomas' graph acceptors [33, 34] and a suitable weighted logic in the sense of Droste and Gastin [9] . ...

Unambiguous recognizable two-dimensional languages

Some closure and non-closure properties of UREC are presented. Finally we show that it is undecidable whether a given tiling system is unambiguous. ...
Further UREC family coincides with the class of picture languages defined by unambiguous 2OTA and it strictly contains its deterministic counterpart. ...
Moreover finite tiling systems have also a natural logic meaning: in [11, 12] it is shown that the family REC and the family of languages defined by existential monadic second order formulas coincide ...
