  text: In this paper we present an efficient framework for computation of persis-
    tent homology of cubical data in arbitrary dimensions. An existing algorithm using
    simplicial complexes is adapted to the setting of cubical complexes. The proposed
    approach enables efficient application of persistent homology in domains where
    the data is naturally given in a cubical form. By avoiding triangulation of the
    data, we significantly reduce the size of the complex. We also present a data-structure
    de- signed to compactly store and quickly manipulate cubical complexes. By means
    of numerical experiments, we show high speed and memory efficiency of our ap-
    proach. We compare our framework to other available implementations, showing its
    superiority. Finally, we report performance on selected 3D and 4D data-sets.

  text: We present a new decidable logic called TREX for expressing constraints about
    imperative tree data structures. In particular, TREX supports a transitive closure
    operator that can express reachability constraints, which often appear in data
    structure invariants. We show that our logic is closed under weakest precondition
    computation, which enables its use for automated software verification. We further
    show that satisfiability of formulas in TREX is decidable in NP. The low complexity
    makes it an attractive alternative to more expensive logics such as monadic second-order
    logic (MSOL) over trees, which have been traditionally used for reasoning about
    tree data structures.

  text: 'Automated termination provers often use the following schema to prove that
    a program terminates: construct a relational abstraction of the program''s transition
    relation and then show that the relational abstraction is well-founded. The focus
    of current tools has been on developing sophisticated techniques for constructing
    the abstractions while relying on known decidable logics (such as linear arithmetic)
    to express them. We believe we can significantly increase the class of programs
    that are amenable to automated termination proofs by identifying more expressive
    decidable logics for reasoning about well-founded relations. We therefore present
    a new decision procedure for reasoning about multiset orderings, which are among
    the most powerful orderings used to prove termination. We show that, using our
    decision procedure, one can automatically prove termination of natural abstractions
    of programs.'

  text: 'Weighted automata map input words to numerical values. Ap- plications of
    weighted automata include formal verification of quantitative properties, as well
    as text, speech, and image processing. A weighted au- tomaton is defined with
    respect to a semiring. For the tropical semiring, the weight of a run is the sum
    of the weights of the transitions taken along the run, and the value of a word
    is the minimal weight of an accepting run on it. In the 90’s, Krob studied the
    decidability of problems on rational series defined with respect to the tropical
    semiring. Rational series are strongly related to weighted automata, and Krob’s
    results apply to them. In par- ticular, it follows from Krob’s results that the
    universality problem (that is, deciding whether the values of all words are below
    some threshold) is decidable for weighted automata defined with respect to the
    tropical semir- ing with domain ∪ {∞}, and that the equality problem is undecidable
    when the domain is ∪ {∞}. In this paper we continue the study of the borders of
    decidability in weighted automata, describe alternative and direct proofs of the
    above results, and tighten them further. Unlike the proofs of Krob, which are
    algebraic in their nature, our proofs stay in the terrain of state machines, and
    the reduction is from the halting problem of a two-counter machine. This enables
    us to significantly simplify Krob’s reasoning, make the un- decidability result
    accessible to the automata-theoretic community, and strengthen it to apply already
    to a very simple class of automata: all the states are accepting, there are no
    initial nor final weights, and all the weights on the transitions are from the
    set {−1, 0, 1}. The fact we work directly with the automata enables us to tighten
    also the decidability re- sults and to show that the universality problem for
    weighted automata defined with respect to the tropical semiring with domain ∪
    {∞}, and in fact even with domain ≥0 ∪ {∞}, is PSPACE-complete. Our results thus
    draw a sharper picture about the decidability of decision problems for weighted
    automata, in both the front of containment vs. universality and the front of the
    ∪ {∞} vs. the ∪ {∞} domains.'

  text: We solve the open problems of translating, when possible, all common classes
    of nondeterministic word automata to deterministic and nondeterministic co-Büchi
    word automata. The handled classes include Büchi, parity, Rabin, Streett and Muller
    automata. The translations follow a unified approach and are all asymptotically
    tight. The problem of translating Büchi automata to equivalent co-Büchi automata
    was solved in [2], leaving open the problems of translating automata with richer
    acceptance conditions. For these classes, one cannot easily extend or use the
    construction in [2]. In particular, going via an intermediate Büchi automaton
    is not optimal and might involve a blow-up exponentially higher than the known
    lower bound. Other known translations are also not optimal and involve a doubly
    exponential blow-up. We describe direct, simple, and asymptotically tight constructions,
    involving a 2Θ(n) blow-up. The constructions are variants of the subset construction,
    and allow for symbolic implementations. Beyond the theoretical importance of the
    results, the new constructions have various applications, among which is an improved
    algorithm for translating, when possible, LTL formulas to deterministic Büchi
    word automata.

  text: Given an algebraic hypersurface O in ℝd, how many simplices are necessary
    for a simplicial complex isotopic to O? We address this problem and the variant
    where all vertices of the complex must lie on O. We give asymptotically tight
    worst-case bounds for algebraic plane curves. Our results gradually improve known
    bounds in higher dimensions; however, the question for tight bounds remains unsolved
    for d ≥ 3.

  text: We study the topology of the Megaparsec Cosmic Web in terms of the scale-dependent
    Betti numbers, which formalize the topological information content of the cosmic
    mass distribution. While the Betti numbers do not fully quantify topology, they
    extend the information beyond conventional cosmological studies of topology in
    terms of genus and Euler characteristic. The richer information content of Betti
    numbers goes along the availability of fast algorithms to compute them. For continuous
    density fields, we determine the scale-dependence of Betti numbers by invoking
    the cosmologically familiar filtration of sublevel or superlevel sets defined
    by density thresholds. For the discrete galaxy distribution, however, the analysis
    is based on the alpha shapes of the particles. These simplicial complexes constitute
    an ordered sequence of nested subsets of the Delaunay tessellation, a filtration
    defined by the scale parameter, α. As they are homotopy equivalent to the sublevel
    sets of the distance field, they are an excellent tool for assessing the topological
    structure of a discrete point distribution. In order to develop an intuitive understanding
    for the behavior of Betti numbers as a function of α, and their relation to the
    morphological patterns in the Cosmic Web, we first study them within the context
    of simple heuristic Voronoi clustering models. These can be tuned to consist of
    specific morphological elements of the Cosmic Web, i.e. clusters, filaments, or
    sheets. To elucidate the relative prominence of the various Betti numbers in different
    stages of morphological evolution, we introduce the concept of alpha tracks. Subsequently,
    we address the topology of structures emerging in the standard LCDM scenario and
    in cosmological scenarios with alternative dark energy content. The evolution
    of the Betti numbers is shown to reflect the hierarchical evolution of the Cosmic
    Web. We also demonstrate that the scale-dependence of the Betti numbers yields
    a promising measure of cosmological parameters, with a potential to help in determining
    the nature of dark energy and to probe primordial non-Gaussianities. We also discuss
    the expected Betti numbers as a function of the density threshold for superlevel
    sets of a Gaussian random field. Finally, we introduce the concept of persistent
    homology. It measures scale levels of the mass distribution and allows us to separate
    small from large scale features. Within the context of the hierarchical cosmic
    structure formation, persistence provides a natural formalism for a multiscale
    topology study of the Cosmic Web.

  text: 'We consider 2-player games played on a finite state space for an infinite
    number of rounds. The games are concurrent: in each round, the two players (player
    1 and player 2) choose their moves inde- pendently and simultaneously; the current
    state and the two moves determine the successor state. We study concurrent games
    with ω-regular winning conditions specified as parity objectives. We consider
    the qualitative analysis problems: the computation of the almost-sure and limit-sure
    winning set of states, where player 1 can ensure to win with probability 1 and
    with probability arbitrarily close to 1, respec- tively. In general the almost-sure
    and limit-sure winning strategies require both infinite-memory as well as infinite-precision
    (to describe probabilities). We study the bounded-rationality problem for qualitative
    analysis of concurrent parity games, where the strategy set for player 1 is restricted
    to bounded-resource strategies. In terms of precision, strategies can be deterministic,
    uniform, finite-precision or infinite- precision; and in terms of memory, strategies
    can be memoryless, finite-memory or infinite-memory. We present a precise and
    complete characterization of the qualitative winning sets for all combinations
    of classes of strategies. In particular, we show that uniform memoryless strategies
    are as powerful as finite-precision infinite-memory strategies, and infinite-precision
    memoryless strategies are as power- ful as infinite-precision finite-memory strategies.
    We show that the winning sets can be computed in O(n2d+3) time, where n is the
    size of the game structure and 2d is the number of priorities (or colors), and
    our algorithms are symbolic. The membership problem of whether a state belongs
    to a winning set can be decided in NP ∩ coNP. While this complexity is the same
    as for the simpler class of turn-based parity games, where in each state only
    one of the two players has a choice of moves, our algorithms, that are obtained
    by characterization of the winning sets as μ-calculus formulas, are considerably
    more involved than those for turn-based games.'

  text: 'We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with ω-regular specifications
    given as parity objectives. We consider the problem of computing the set of almost-sure
    winning states from where the objective can be ensured with probability 1. The
    algorithms for the computation of the almost-sure winning set for parity objectives
    iteratively use the solutions for the almost-sure winning set for Büchi objectives
    (a special case of parity objectives). Our contributions are as follows: First,
    we present the first subquadratic symbolic algorithm to compute the almost-sure
    winning set for MDPs with Büchi objectives; our algorithm takes O(nm)  symbolic
    steps as compared to the previous known algorithm that takes O(n 2) symbolic steps,
    where n is the number of states and m is the number of edges of the MDP. In practice
    MDPs often have constant out-degree, and then our symbolic algorithm takes O(nn)  symbolic
    steps, as compared to the previous known O(n 2) symbolic steps algorithm. Second,
    we present a new algorithm, namely win-lose algorithm, with the following two
    properties: (a) the algorithm iteratively computes subsets of the almost-sure
    winning set and its complement, as compared to all previous algorithms that discover
    the almost-sure winning set upon termination; and (b) requires O(nK)  symbolic
    steps, where K is the maximal number of edges of strongly connected components
    (scc’s) of the MDP. The win-lose algorithm requires symbolic computation of scc’s.
    Third, we improve the algorithm for symbolic scc computation; the previous known
    algorithm takes linear symbolic steps, and our new algorithm improves the constants
    associated with the linear number of steps. In the worst case the previous known
    algorithm takes 5·n symbolic steps, whereas our new algorithm takes 4 ·n symbolic
    steps.'

  text: 'We present faster and dynamic algorithms for the following problems arising
    in probabilistic verification: Computation of the maximal end-component (mec)
    decomposition of Markov decision processes (MDPs), and of the almost sure winning
    set for reachability and parity objectives in MDPs. We achieve the following running
    time for static algorithms in MDPs with graphs of n vertices and m edges: (1)
    O(m · min{ √m, n2/3 }) for the mec decomposition, improving the longstanding O(m·n)
    bound; (2) O(m·n2/3) for reachability objectives, improving the previous O(m ·
    √m) bound for m &gt; n4/3; and (3) O(m · min{ √m, n2/3 } · log(d)) for parity
    objectives with d priorities, improving the previous O(m · √m · d) bound. We also
    give incremental and decremental algorithms in linear time for mec decomposition
    and reachability objectives and O(m · log d) time for parity ob jectives.'

  text: 'Games played on graphs provide the mathematical framework to analyze several
    important problems in computer science as well as mathematics, such as the synthesis
    problem of Church, model checking of open reactive systems and many others. On
    the basis of mode of interaction of the players these games can be classified
    as follows: (a) turn-based (players make moves in turns); and (b) concurrent (players
    make moves simultaneously). On the basis of the information available to the players
    these games can be classified as follows: (a) perfect-information (players have
    perfect view of the game); and (b) partial-information (players have partial view
    of the game). In this talk we will consider all these classes of games with reachability
    objectives, where the goal of one player is to reach a set of target vertices
    of the graph, and the goal of the opponent player is to prevent the player from
    reaching the target. We will survey the results for various classes of games,
    and the results range from linear time decision algorithms to EXPTIME-complete
    problems to undecidable problems.'

  text: We consider Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with mean-payoff parity and energy
    parity objectives. In system design, the parity objective is used to encode ω-regular
    specifications, and the mean-payoff and energy objectives can be used to model
    quantitative resource constraints. The energy condition re- quires that the resource
    level never drops below 0, and the mean-payoff condi- tion requires that the limit-average
    value of the resource consumption is within a threshold. While these two (energy
    and mean-payoff) classical conditions are equivalent for two-player games, we
    show that they differ for MDPs. We show that the problem of deciding whether a
    state is almost-sure winning (i.e., winning with probability 1) in energy parity
    MDPs is in NP ∩ coNP, while for mean- payoff parity MDPs, the problem is solvable
    in polynomial time, improving a recent PSPACE bound.

  text: 'The class of omega-regular languages provides a robust specification language
    in verification. Every omega-regular condition can be decomposed into a safety
    part and a liveness part. The liveness part ensures that something good happens
    &quot;eventually&quot;. Finitary liveness was proposed by Alur and Henzinger as
    a stronger formulation of liveness. It requires that there exists an unknown,
    fixed bound b such that something good happens within b transitions. In this work
    we consider automata with finitary acceptance conditions defined by finitary Buchi,
    parity and Streett languages. We study languages expressible by such automata:
    we give their topological complexity and present a regular-expression characterization.
    We compare the expressive power of finitary automata and give optimal algorithms
    for classical decisions questions. We show that the finitary languages are Sigma
    2-complete; we present a complete picture of the expressive power of various classes
    of automata with finitary and infinitary acceptance conditions; we show that the
    languages defined by finitary parity automata exactly characterize the star-free
    fragment of omega B-regular languages; and we show that emptiness is NLOGSPACE-complete
    and universality as well as language inclusion are PSPACE-complete for finitary
    parity and Streett automata.'

  text: We study synthesis of controllers for real-time systems, where the objective
    is to stay in a given safe set. The problem is solved by obtaining winning strategies
    in the setting of concurrent two-player timed automaton games with safety objectives.
    To prevent a player from winning by blocking time, we restrict each player to
    strategies that ensure that the player cannot be responsible for causing a zeno
    run. We construct winning strategies for the controller which require access only
    to (1) the system clocks (thus, controllers which require their own internal infinitely
    precise clocks are not necessary), and (2) a linear (in the number of clocks)
    number of memory bits. Precisely, we show that for safety objectives, a memory
    of size (3 · |C|+lg(|C|+1)) bits suffices for winning controller strategies, where
    C is the set of clocks of the timed automaton game, significantly improving the
    previous known exponential bound. We also settle the open question of whether
    winning region controller strategies require memory for safety objectives by showing
    with an example the necessity of memory for region strategies to win for safety
    objectives.

  text: A controller for a discrete game with ω-regular objectives requires attention
    if, intuitively, it requires measuring the state and switching from the current
    control action. Minimum attention controllers are preferable in modern shared
    implementations of cyber-physical systems because they produce the least burden
    on system resources such as processor time or communication bandwidth. We give
    algorithms to compute minimum attention controllers for ω-regular objectives in
    imperfect information discrete two-player games. We show a polynomial-time reduction
    from minimum attention controller synthesis to synthesis of controllers for mean-payoff
    parity objectives in games of incomplete information. This gives an optimal EXPTIME-complete
    synthesis algorithm. We show that the minimum attention controller problem is
    decidable for infinite state systems with finite bisimulation quotients. In particular,
    the problem is decidable for timed and rectangular automata.

  text: In two-player games on graph, the players construct an infinite path through
    the game graph and get a reward computed by a payoff function over infinite paths.
    Over weighted graphs, the typical and most studied payoff functions compute the
    limit-average or the discounted sum of the rewards along the path. Besides their
    simple definition, these two payoff functions enjoy the property that memoryless
    optimal strategies always exist. In an attempt to construct other simple payoff
    functions, we define a class of payoff functions which compute an (infinite) weighted
    average of the rewards. This new class contains both the limit-average and the
    discounted sum functions, and we show that they are the only members of this class
    which induce memoryless optimal strategies, showing that there is essentially
    no other simple payoff functions.

  text: We consider two-player graph games whose objectives are request-response condition,
    i.e conjunctions of conditions of the form "if a state with property Rq is visited,
    then later a state with property Rp is visited". The winner of such games can
    be decided in EXPTIME and the problem is known to be NP-hard. In this paper, we
    close this gap by showing that this problem is, in fact, EXPTIME-complete. We
    show that the problem becomes PSPACE-complete if we only consider games played
    on DAGs, and NP-complete or PTIME-complete if there is only one player (depending
    on whether he wants to enforce or spoil the request-response condition). We also
    present near-optimal bounds on the memory needed to design winning strategies
    for each player, in each case.

  text: State-transition systems communicating by shared variables have been the underlying
    model of choice for applications of model checking. Such formalisms, however,
    have difficulty with modeling process creation or death and communication reconfigurability.
    Here, we introduce “dynamic reactive modules” (DRM), a state-transition modeling
    formalism that supports dynamic reconfiguration and creation/death of processes.
    The resulting formalism supports two types of variables, data variables and reference
    variables. Reference variables enable changing the connectivity between processes
    and referring to instances of processes. We show how this new formalism supports
    parallel composition and refinement through trace containment. DRM provide a natural
    language for modeling (and ultimately reasoning about) biological systems and
    multiple threads communicating through shared variables.

  text: We present the tool Quasy, a quantitative synthesis tool. Quasy takes qualitative
    and quantitative specifications and automatically constructs a system that satisfies
    the qualitative specification and optimizes the quantitative specification, if
    such a system exists. The user can choose between a system that satisfies and
    optimizes the specifications (a) under all possible environment behaviors or (b)
    under the most-likely environment behaviors given as a probability distribution
    on the possible input sequences. Quasy solves these two quantitative synthesis
    problems by reduction to instances of 2-player games and Markov Decision Processes
    (MDPs) with quantitative winning objectives. Quasy can also be seen as a game
    solver for quantitative games. Most notable, it can solve lexicographic mean-payoff
    games with 2 players, MDPs with mean-payoff objectives, and ergodic MDPs with
    mean-payoff parity objectives.

  text: 'We present an algorithmic method for the quantitative, performance-aware
    synthesis of concurrent programs. The input consists of a nondeterministic partial
    program and of a parametric performance model. The nondeterminism allows the programmer
    to omit which (if any) synchronization construct is used at a particular program
    location. The performance model, specified as a weighted automaton, can capture
    system architectures by assigning different costs to actions such as locking,
    context switching, and memory and cache accesses. The quantitative synthesis problem
    is to automatically resolve the nondeterminism of the partial program so that
    both correctness is guaranteed and performance is optimal. As is standard for
    shared memory concurrency, correctness is formalized &quot;specification free&quot;,
    in particular as race freedom or deadlock freedom. For worst-case (average-case)
    performance, we show that the problem can be reduced to 2-player graph games (with
    probabilistic transitions) with quantitative objectives. While we show, using
    game-theoretic methods, that the synthesis problem is Nexp-complete, we present
    an algorithmic method and an implementation that works efficiently for concurrent
    programs and performance models of practical interest. We have implemented a prototype
    tool and used it to synthesize finite-state concurrent programs that exhibit different
    programming patterns, for several performance models representing different architectures. '
