The theory of regular transformations of finite strings is quite mature with appealing properties. This class can be equivalently defined using both logic (Monadic second-order logic) and finite-state machines (two-way transducers, and more recently, streaming string transducers); is closed under operations such as sequential composition and regular choice; and problems such as functional equivalence and type checking, are decidable for this class. In this paper, we initiate a study of transformations of infinite strings. The MSO-based definition for regular string transformations generalizes naturally to infinite strings. We define an equivalent generalization of the machine model of streaming string transducers to infinite strings. A streaming string transducer is a deterministic machine that makes a single pass over the input string, and computes the output fragments using a finite set of string variables that are updated in a copyless manner at each step. We show how Muller acceptance condition for automata over infinite strings can be generalized to associate an infinite output string with an infinite execution. The proof that our model captures all MSO-definable transformations uses two-way transducers. Unlike the case of finite strings, MSO-equivalent definition of two-way transducers over infinite strings needs to make decisions based on omega-regular look-ahead. Simulating this look-ahead using multiple variables with copyless updates, is the main technical challenge in our constructions. Finally, we show that type checking and functional equivalence are decidable for MSO-definable transformations of infinite strings.
有限弦的正则变换理论是相当成熟的,具有吸引人的性质。该类可以使用逻辑(一元二阶逻辑)和有限状态机(双向换能器,以及最近的流字符串换能器)等效地定义;在顺序组合和规则选择等操作下关闭;而函数等价和类型检查等问题,在这门课中是可以确定的。本文研究了无限弦的变换问题。基于mso的正则字符串转换定义自然地推广到无限字符串。我们定义了流弦换能器的机器模型到无限弦的等价推广。流字符串换能器是一种确定性机器,它对输入字符串进行单遍传递,并使用一组有限的字符串变量计算输出片段,这些字符串变量在每一步以无复制的方式更新。我们展示了无限字符串上自动机的Muller接受条件如何推广到将无限输出字符串与无限执行联系起来。证明我们的模型捕获所有mso可定义的转换使用双向换能器。与有限字符串的情况不同,无限字符串上双向换能器的mso等效定义需要基于ω -正则前瞻性做出决策。在我们的结构中,使用具有无拷贝更新的多个变量模拟这种前瞻性是主要的技术挑战。最后,我们证明了无限字符串的mso可定义变换的类型检查和功能等价是可决定的。

Learning Probabilistic Systems from Tree Samples 从树样本中学习概率系统
Pub Date : 2012-06-25 DOI: 10.1109/LICS.2012.54
Anvesh Komuravelli, C. Pasareanu, E. Clarke
We consider the problem of learning a non-deterministic probabilistic system consistent with a given finite set of positive and negative tree samples. Consistency is defined with respect to strong simulation conformance. We propose learning algorithms that use traditional and a new stochastic state-space partitioning, the latter resulting in the minimum number of states. We then use them to solve the problem of active learning, that uses a knowledgeable teacher to generate samples as counterexamples to simulation equivalence queries. We show that the problem is undecidable in general, but that it becomes decidable under a suitable condition on the teacher which comes naturally from the way samples are generated from failed simulation checks. The latter problem is shown to be undecidable if we impose an additional condition on the learner to always conjecture a minimum state hypothesis. We therefore propose a semi-algorithm using stochastic partitions. Finally, we apply the proposed (semi-) algorithms to infer intermediate assumptions in an automated assume-guarantee verification framework for probabilistic systems.
我们考虑了一个非确定性概率系统的学习问题,该系统具有给定的有限的正负树样本集。一致性是根据强仿真一致性定义的。我们提出了使用传统和一种新的随机状态空间划分的学习算法,后者产生最小状态数。然后,我们用它们来解决主动学习的问题,即使用知识渊博的老师来生成样本作为模拟等效查询的反例。我们表明,一般情况下,问题是不可确定的,但在教师的适当条件下,它变得可确定,这自然来自于从失败的模拟检查中生成样本的方式。如果我们对学习者施加一个附加条件,使其总是猜测最小状态假设,则后一个问题是不可判定的。因此,我们提出了一种使用随机分区的半算法。最后,我们将提出的(半)算法应用于概率系统的自动假设-保证验证框架中推断中间假设。

Two-Variable First-Order Logic with Equivalence Closure 具有等价闭包的二变量一阶逻辑
Pub Date : 2012-06-25 DOI: 10.1109/LICS.2012.53

We consider the satisfiability and finite satisfiability problems for extensions of the two-variable fragment of first-order logic in which an equivalence closure operator can be applied to a fixed number of binary predicates. We show that the satisfiability problem for two-variable, first-order logic with equivalence closure applied to two binary predicates is in 2NEXPTIME, and we obtain a matching lower bound by showing that the satisfiability problem for two-variable first-order logic in the presence of two equivalence relations is 2NEXPTIME-hard. The logics in question lack the finite model property; however, we show that the same complexity bounds hold for the corresponding finite satisfiability problems. We further show that the satisfiability (=finite satisfiability) problem for the two-variable fragment of first-order logic with equivalence closure applied to a single binary predicate is NEXPTIME-complete.
研究了一类一阶逻辑双变量片段的扩展的可满足性和有限可满足性问题,其中等价闭包算子可应用于固定数目的二元谓词。我们证明了两个二元谓词具有等价闭包的两变量一阶逻辑的可满足性问题在2NEXPTIME内,并通过证明存在两个等价关系的两变量一阶逻辑的可满足性问题是2NEXPTIME-hard而得到了一个匹配下界。所讨论的逻辑缺乏有限模型性质;然而,我们证明了对于相应的有限可满足性问题具有相同的复杂度界。进一步证明了一阶逻辑的等价闭包的二变量片段对单个二元谓词的可满足性(=有限可满足性)是nexptime完备的。

Decidable Elementary Modal Logics 可决初等模态逻辑
Pub Date : 2012-06-25 DOI: 10.1109/LICS.2012.59
Jakub Michaliszyn, J. Otop
In this paper, the modal logic over classes of structures definable by universal first-order Horn formulas is studied. We show that the satisfiability problems for that logics are decidable, confirming the conjecture from [E. Hemaspaandra and H. Schnoor, On the Complexity of Elementary Modal Logics, STACS 08]. We provide a full classification of logics defined by universal first-order Horn formulas, with respect to the complexity of satisfiability of modal logic over the classes of frames they define. It appears, that except for the trivial case of inconsistent formulas for which the problem is in P, local satisfiability is either NP-complete or PSPACE-complete, and global satisfiability is NP-complete, PSPACE-complete, or EXPTIME-complete. While our results holds even if we allow to use equality, we show that inequality leads to undecidability.
本文研究了由一阶通用Horn公式定义的结构类上的模态逻辑。我们证明了该逻辑的可满足性问题是可决定的,证实了[E。[j].数学学报(自然科学版),2008。我们提供了由通用一阶Horn公式定义的逻辑的一个完整分类,关于模态逻辑在它们所定义的框架类上的可满足性的复杂性。结果表明,除了问题在P中的不一致公式的平凡情况外,局部可满足性要么是np -完全的,要么是pspace -完全的,而全局可满足性要么是np -完全的,要么是pspace -完全的,要么是exptime -完全的。虽然我们的结果成立,即使我们允许使用相等,我们表明,不平等导致不可判定。

A Kantorovich-Monadic Powerdomain for Information Hiding, with Probability and Nondeterminism 具有概率和不确定性的信息隐藏的kantorovich -一元幂域
Pub Date : 2012-06-25 DOI: 10.1109/LICS.2012.56

We propose a novel domain-theoretic model for nondeterminism, probability and hidden state, with relations on it that compare information flow. One relation is Smyth-like, based on a structural, refinement-like order between semantic elements; the other is a testing order that generalises several extant entropy-based techniques. Our principal theorem is that the two orders are equivalent. The model is based on the Giry/Kantorovich monads, and it abstracts Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes by discarding observables' actual values but retaining the effect they had on an observer's knowledge. We illustrate the model, and its orders, on some small examples, where we find that our formalism provides the apparatus for comparing systems in terms of the information they leak.
提出了一种新的不确定性、概率和隐藏状态的领域理论模型,并在模型上建立了比较信息流的关系。一种关系是Smyth-like,基于语义元素之间的结构和精细化顺序;另一个是测试顺序,它概括了几种现有的基于熵的技术。我们的主要定理是这两个阶是等价的。该模型基于Giry/Kantorovich单子,它抽象了部分可观察的马尔可夫决策过程,丢弃了可观察的实际值,但保留了它们对观察者知识的影响。我们用一些小例子来说明模型及其顺序,在这些例子中,我们发现我们的形式主义提供了一种工具,可以根据系统泄露的信息来比较系统。

Foundational, Compositional (Co)datatypes for Higher-Order Logic: Category Theory Applied to Theorem Proving 高阶逻辑的基础组合(Co)数据类型:范畴论在定理证明中的应用
Pub Date : 2012-06-25 DOI: 10.1109/LICS.2012.75
Dmitriy Traytel, A. Popescu, J. Blanchette
Interactive theorem provers based on higher-order logic (HOL) traditionally follow the definitional approach, reducing high-level specifications to logical primitives. This also applies to the support for datatype definitions. However, the internal datatype construction used in HOL4, HOL Light, and Isabelle/HOL is fundamentally noncompositional, limiting its efficiency and flexibility, and it does not cater for codatatypes. We present a fully modular framework for constructing (co)datatypes in HOL, with support for mixed mutual and nested (co)recursion. Mixed (co)recursion enables type definitions involving both datatypes and codatatypes, such as the type of finitely branching trees of possibly infinite depth. Our framework draws heavily from category theory. The key notion is that of a bounded natural functor---an enriched type constructor satisfying specific properties preserved by interesting categorical operations. Our ideas are implemented as a definitional package in Isabelle, addressing a frequent request from users.
基于高阶逻辑(HOL)的交互定理证明通常遵循定义方法,将高级规范简化为逻辑原语。这也适用于对数据类型定义的支持。然而,HOL4、HOL Light和Isabelle/HOL中使用的内部数据类型构造基本上是非组合的,这限制了它的效率和灵活性,并且它不适合协同数据类型。我们提出了一个在HOL中构造(co)数据类型的完全模块化框架,支持混合互递归和嵌套递归。混合(co)递归支持涉及数据类型和辅助数据类型的类型定义,例如可能具有无限深度的有限分支树的类型。我们的框架很大程度上借鉴了范畴论。关键的概念是有界自然函子——一个丰富的类型构造函数,满足由有趣的范畴操作保留的特定属性。我们的想法在Isabelle中作为一个定义包实现,解决了用户的频繁请求。

Graph Logics with Rational Relations and the Generalized Intersection Problem 具有有理关系的图逻辑与广义交问题
Pub Date : 2012-06-25 DOI: 10.1109/LICS.2012.23
P. Barceló, Diego Figueira, L. Libkin
We investigate some basic questions about the interaction of regular and rational relations on words. The primary motivation comes from the study of logics for querying graph topology, which have recently found numerous applications. Such logics use conditions on paths expressed by regular languages and relations, but they often need to be extended by rational relations such as subword (factor) or subsequence. Evaluating formulae in such extended graph logics boils down to checking nonemptiness of the intersection of rational relations with regular or recognizable relations (or, more generally, to the generalized intersection problem, asking whether some projections of a regular relation have a nonempty intersection with a given rational relation). We prove that for several basic and commonly used rational relations, the intersection problem with regular relations is either undecidable (e.g., for subword or suffix, and some generalizations), or decidable with non-multiply-recursive complexity (e.g., for subsequence and its generalizations). These results are used to rule out many classes of graph logics that freely combine regular and rational relations, as well as to provide the simplest problem related to verifying lossy channel systems that has non-multiply-recursive complexity. We then prove a dichotomy result for logics combining regular conditions on individual paths and rational relations on paths, by showing that the syntactic form of formulae classifies them into either efficiently checkable or undecidable cases. We also give examples of rational relations for which such logics are decidable even without syntactic restrictions.
我们探讨了词的规则关系和理性关系相互作用的一些基本问题。主要动机来自查询图拓扑的逻辑研究,最近发现了许多应用。这种逻辑使用由规则语言和关系表达的路径上的条件,但它们通常需要通过理性关系(如子词(因子)或子序列)进行扩展。在这种扩展图逻辑中对公式的求值可以归结为检验有理关系与正则关系或可识别关系的交的非空性(或者更一般地说,检验广义交问题,即一个正则关系的某些投影是否与给定的有理关系有非空交)。我们证明了对于一些基本的和常用的有理关系,正则关系的交集问题要么是不可判定的(例如,对于子词或后缀,以及一些推广),要么是非多重递归复杂性的可判定的(例如,对于子序列及其推广)。这些结果用于排除许多自由组合规则关系和理性关系的图逻辑类,以及提供与验证具有非多重递归复杂性的有损通道系统相关的最简单问题。然后,我们通过证明公式的句法形式将它们分为有效可检和不可检两种情况,证明了将个别路径上的规则条件和路径上的理性关系组合在一起的逻辑的二分结果。我们也给出了理性关系的例子,即使没有句法限制,这种逻辑也是可判定的。

Von Neumann's Biased Coin Revisited 重新审视冯·诺伊曼的偏见硬币
Pub Date : 2012-06-25 DOI: 10.1109/LICS.2012.26
L. Bienvenu, B. Monin
Suppose you want to generate a random sequence of zeros and ones and all you have at your disposal is a coin which you suspect to be biased (but do not know the bias). Can "perfect" randomness be produced with this coin? The answer is positive, thanks to a little trick discovered by von Neumann. In this paper, we investigate a generalization of this question: if we have access to a source of bits produced according to some probability measure in some class of measures, and suppose we know the class but not the measure (in the above example, the class would be the class of all Bernoulli measures), can perfect randomness be produced? We will look at this question from the viewpoint of effective mathematics and in particular the theory of effective randomness.
假设你想生成一个0和1的随机序列,而你所拥有的只是一枚硬币,你怀疑它有偏差(但不知道偏差)。这种硬币能产生“完美”的随机性吗?答案是肯定的,这要感谢冯·诺伊曼发现的一个小技巧。在本文中,我们研究了这个问题的一个推广:如果我们有一个根据某一类测度的某个概率测度产生的比特源,并且假设我们知道该类但不知道测度(在上面的例子中,该类将是所有伯努利测度的类),可以产生完全随机性吗?我们将从有效数学,特别是有效随机性理论的角度来看待这个问题。

In particular, we define and study a construction which we call the periodic power of a structure, and define a periomorphism of a structure to be a homomorphism from the periodic power of the structure to the structure itself. Our preservation theorem states that, over an aleph-zero categorical structure, a relation is positive Horn definable if and only if it is preserved by all periomorphisms of the structure. We give applications of this theorem, including a new proof of the known complexity classification of quantified constraint satisfaction on equality templates.
我们证明了在α - 0范畴结构中正Horn可定义性的一个保存定理。特别地,我们定义并研究了一个结构的周期幂的构造,并定义了一个结构的周同态是结构的周期幂到结构本身的同态。我们的保存定理表明,在一个α - 0范畴结构上,一个关系是正角可定义的当且仅当它被该结构的所有近同态保存。给出了该定理的一些应用,包括对等式模板上量化约束满足的已知复杂度分类的一个新的证明。

We study the expressive power of logical interpretations on the class of scattered trees, namely those with countably many infinite branches. Scattered trees can be thought of as the tree analogue of scattered linear orders. Every scattered tree has an ordinal rank that reflects the structure of its infinite branches. We prove, roughly, that trees and orders of large rank cannot be interpreted in scattered trees of small rank. We consider a quite general notion of interpretation: each element of the interpreted structure is represented by a set of tuples of subsets of the interpreting tree. Our trees are countable, not necessarily finitely branching, and may have finitely many unary predicates as labellings. We also show how to replace injective set-interpretations in (not necessarily scattered) trees by âfinitary' set-interpretations.
我们研究了离散树类(即具有可数无限分支的树)上逻辑解释的表达能力。离散树可以被认为是离散线性序列的树模拟。每棵分散的树都有一个有序的秩,反映了它无限分支的结构。我们粗略地证明了大秩的树和阶不能用小秩的分散树来解释。我们考虑一个相当一般的解释概念:被解释结构的每个元素都由解释树的子集元组的集合表示。我们的树是可数的,不一定有有限分支,并且可以有有限多个一元谓词作为标记。我们还展示了如何用有限集解释代替(不一定是分散的)树中的内射集解释。
