We propose an interpretation of multiparty sessions with asynchronous communication as Flow Event Structures. We introduce a new notion of asynchronous type for such sessions, ensuring the expected properties for multiparty sessions, including progress. Our asynchronous types, which reflect asynchrony more directly and more precisely than standard global types and are more permissive, are themselves interpreted as Prime Event Structures. The main result is that the Event Structure interpretation of a session is equivalent, when the session is typable, to the Event Structure interpretation of its asynchronous type, namely their domains of configurations are isomorphic.

The study of strings is an important combinatorial field that precedes the digital computer. Strings can be very long, trillions of letters, so it is important to find compact representations. Here we first survey various forms of one potential compaction methodology, the cover of a given string x, initially proposed in a simple form in 1990, but increasingly of interest as more sophisticated variants have been discovered. We then consider covering by a seed; that is, a cover of a superstring of x. We conclude with many proposals for research directions that could make significant contributions to string processing in future.

The Knödel graph WΔ,n is a Δ-regular bipartite graph on n ≥ 2Δ vertices where n is an even integer. In this paper We obtain some results about the distances of two vertices in the Knödel graphs and by them, we prove that diam(WΔ,n)=1+⌈n−22Δ−2⌉, where Δ ≥ 2 and n ≥ (2Δ – 5)(2Δ – 2) + 4.

We investigate the complexity of the reachability problem for (deep) neural networks: does it compute valid output given some valid input? It was recently claimed that the problem is NP-complete for general neural networks and specifications over the input/output dimension given by conjunctions of linear inequalities. We recapitulate the proof and repair some flaws in the original upper and lower bound proofs. Motivated by the general result, we show that NP-hardness already holds for restricted classes of simple specifications and neural networks. Allowing for a single hidden layer and an output dimension of one as well as neural networks with just one negative, zero and one positive weight or bias is sufficient to ensure NP-hardness. Additionally, we give a thorough discussion and outlook of possible extensions for this direction of research on neural network verification.

Let us consider some class of (Petri) nets. The corresponding Synthesis problem consists in deciding whether a given labeled transition system (TS) A can be implemented by a net N of that class. In case of a negative decision, it may be possible to convert A into an implementable TS B by applying various modification techniques, like relabeling edges that previously had the same label, suppressing edges/states/events, etc. It may however be useful to limit the number of such modifications to stay close to the original problem, or optimize the technique. In this paper, we show that most of the corresponding problems are NP-complete if the considered class corresponds to so-called flip-flop nets or some flip-flop net derivatives.

An absent factor of a string w is a string u which does not occur as a contiguous substring (a.k.a. factor) inside w. We extend this well-studied notion and define absent subsequences: a string u is an absent subsequence of a string w if u does not occur as subsequence (a.k.a. scattered factor) inside w. Of particular interest to us are minimal absent subsequences, i.e., absent subsequences whose every subsequence is not absent, and shortest absent subsequences, i.e., absent subsequences of minimal length. We show a series of combinatorial and algorithmic results regarding these two notions. For instance: we give combinatorial characterisations of the sets of minimal and, respectively, shortest absent subsequences in a word, as well as compact representations of these sets; we show how we can test efficiently if a string is a shortest or minimal absent subsequence in a word, and we give efficient algorithms computing the lexicographically smallest absent subsequence of each kind; also, we show how a data structure for answering shortest absent subsequence-queries for the factors of a given string can be efficiently computed.

Colored Petri nets offer a compact and user friendly representation of the traditional Place/Transition (P/T) nets and colored nets with finite color ranges can be unfolded into the underlying P/T nets, however, at the expense of an exponential explosion in size. We present two novel techniques based on static analysis in order to reduce the size of unfolded colored nets. The first method identifies colors that behave equivalently and groups them into equivalence classes, potentially reducing the number of used colors. The second method overapproximates the sets of colors that can appear in places and excludes colors that can never be present in a given place. Both methods are complementary and the combined approach allows us to significantly reduce the size of multiple colored Petri nets from the Model Checking Contest benchmark. We compare the performance of our unfolder with state-of-the-art techniques implemented in the tools MCC, Spike and ITS-Tools, and while our approach is competitive w.r.t. unfolding time, it also outperforms the existing approaches both in the size of unfolded nets as well as in the number of answered model checking queries from the 2021 Model Checking Contest.

A distance mean function measures the average distance of points from the elements of a given set of points (focal set) in the space. The level sets of a distance mean function are called generalized conics. In case of infinite focal points the average distance is typically given by integration over the focal set. The paper contains a survey on the applications of taxicab distance mean functions and generalized conics’ theory in geometric tomography: bisection of the focal set and reconstruction problems by coordinate X-rays. The theoretical results are illustrated by implementations in Maple, methods and examples as well.1

Graph embeddings play a significant role in the design and analysis of parallel algorithms. It is a mapping of the topological structure of a guest graph G into a host graph H, which is represented as a one-to-one mapping from the vertex set of the guest graph to the vertex set of the host graph. In multiprocessing systems, the interconnection networks enhance the efficient communication between the components in the system. Obtaining minimum wirelength in embedding problems is significant in the designing of networks and simulating one architecture by another. In this paper, we determine the wirelength of embedding 3-ary n-cubes into cylinders and certain trees.
