  text: We study the controller synthesis problem under budget constraints. In this
    problem, there is a cost associated with making an observation, and a controller
    can make only a limited number of observations in each round so that the total
    cost of the observations does not exceed a given fixed budget. The controller
    must ensure some omega-regular requirement subject to the budget constraint. Budget
    constraints arise in designing and implementing controllers for resource-constrained
    embedded systems, where a controller may not have enough power, time, or bandwidth
    to obtain data from all sensors in each round. They lead to games of imperfect
    information, where the unknown information is not fixed a priori, but can vary
    from round to round, based on the choices made by the controller how to allocate
    its budget. We show that the budget-constrained synthesis problem for W-regular
    objectives is complete for exponential time. In addition to studying synthesis
    under a fixed budget constraint, we study the budget optimization problem, where
    given a plant, an objective, and observation costs, we have to find a controller
    that achieves the objective with minimal average accumulated cost (or minimal
    peak cost). We show that this problem is reducible to a game of imperfect information
    where the winning objective is a conjunction of an omega-regular condition and
    a long-run average condition (or a least max-cost condition), and this again leads
    to an exponential-time algorithm. Finally, we extend our results to games over
    infinite state spaces, and show that the budget-constrained synthesis problem
    is decidable for infinite state games with stable quotients of finite index. Consequently,
    the discrete time budget-constrained synthesis problem is decidable for rectangular
    hybrid automata.

  text: We consider concurrent two-player timed automaton games with omega-regular
    objectives specified as parity conditions. These games offer an appropriate model
    for the synthesis of real-time controllers. Earlier works on timed games focused
    on pure strategies for each player. We study, for the first time, the use of randomized
    strategies in such games. While pure (i.e., nonrandomized) strategies in timed
    games require infinite memory for winning even with respect to reachability objectives,
    we show that randomized strategies can win with finite memory with respect to
    all parity objectives. Also, the synthesized randomized real-time controllers
    are much simpler in structure than the corresponding pure controllers, and therefore
    easier to implement. For safety objectives we prove the existence of pure finite-memory
    winning strategies. Finally, while randomization helps in simplifying the strategies
    required for winning timed parity games, we prove that randomization does not
    help in winning at more states.

  text: We study the problem of model checking Interval-valued Discrete-time Markov
    Chains (IDTMC). IDTMCs are discrete-time finite Markov Chains for which the exact
    transition probabilities are riot known. Instead in IDTMCs, each transition is
    associated with an interval in which the actual transition probability must lie.
    We consider two semantic interpretations for the uncertainty in the transition
    probabilities of an IDTMC. In the first interpretation, we think of an IDTMC as
    representing a (possibly uncountable) family of (classical) discrete-time Markov
    Chains, where each member of the family is a Markov Chain whose transition probabilities
    lie within the interval range given in the IDTMC. We call this semantic interpretation
    Uncertain Markov Chains (UMC). In the second semantics for an IDTMC, which we
    call Interval Markov Decision Process (IMDP), we view the uncertainty as being
    resolved through non-determinism. In other words, each time a state is visited,
    we adversarially pick a transition distribution that respects the interval constraints,
    and take a probabilistic step according to the chosen distribution. We introduce
    a logic omega-PCTL that can express liveness, strong fairness, and omega-regular
    properties (such properties cannot be expressed in PCTL). We show that the omega-PCTL
    model checking problem for Uncertain Markov Chain semantics is decidable in PSPACE
    (same as the best known upper bound for PCTL) and for Interval Markov Decision
    Process semantics is decidable in coNP (improving the previous known PSPACE bound
    for PCTL). We also show that the qualitative fragment of the logic can lie solved
    in coNP for the UMC interpretation, and can be solved in polynomial time for a
    sub-class of UMCs. We also prove lower bounds for these model checking problems.
    We show that the model checking problem of IDTMCs with LTL formulas can be solved
    for both UMC and IMDP semantics by reduction to the model checking problem of
    IDTMC with omega-PcTL formulas.

  text: The synthesis problem asks to construct a reactive finite-state system from
    an omega-regular specification. Initial specifications are often unrealizable,
    which means that there is no system that implements the specification. A common
    reason for unrealizability is that assumptions on the environment of the system
    are incomplete. We study the problem of correcting an unrealizable specification
    phi by computing an environment assumption psi such that the new specification
    psi -&gt; phi is realizable. Our aim is to construct an assumption psi that constrains
    only the environment and is as weak as possible. We present a two-step algorithm
    for computing assumptions. The algorithm operates on the game graph that is used
    to answer the realizability question. First, we compute a safety assumption that
    removes a minimal set of environment edges from the graph. Second, we compute
    a liveness assumption that puts fairness conditions on some of the remaining environment
    edges. We show that the problem of finding a minimal set of fair edges is computationally
    hard, and we use probabilistic games to compute a locally minimal fairness assumption.

  text: We study the problem of generating a test sequence that achieves maximal coverage
    for a reactive system under test. We formulate the problem as a repeated game
    between the tester and the system, where the system state space is partitioned
    according to some coverage criterion and the objective of the tester is to maximize
    the set of partitions (or coverage goals) visited during the game. We show the
    complexity of the maximal coverage problem for non-deterministic systems is PSPACE-complete,
    but is NP-complete for deterministic systems. For the special case of non-deterministic
    systems with a re-initializing “reset” action, which represent running a new test
    input on a re-initialized system, we show that the complexity is coNP-complete.
    Our proof technique for reset games uses randomized testing strategies that circumvent
    the exponentially large memory requirement of deterministic testing strategies.

  text: Quantitative generalizations of classical languages, which assign to each
    word a real number instead of a boolean value, have applications in modeling resource-constrained
    computation. We use weighted automata (finite automata with transition weights)
    to define several natural classes of quantitative languages over finite and infinite
    words; in particular, the real value of an infinite run is computed as the maximum,
    limsup, liminf, limit average, or discounted sum of the transition weights. We
    define the classical decision problems of automata theory (emptiness, universality,
    language inclusion, and language equivalence) in the quantitative setting and
    study their computational complexity. As the decidability of language inclusion
    remains open for some classes of weighted automata, we introduce a notion of quantitative
    simulation that is decidable and implies language inclusion. We also give a complete
    characterization of the expressive power of the various classes of weighted automata.
    In particular, we show that most classes of weighted automata cannot be determinized.

  text: We consider imperfect-information parity games in which strategies rely on
    observations that provide imperfect information about the history of a play. To
    solve such games, i.e., to determine the winning regions of players and corresponding
    winning strategies, one can use the subset construction to build an equivalent
    perfect-information game. Recently, an algorithm that avoids the inefficient subset
    construction has been proposed. The algorithm performs a fixed-point computation
    in a lattice of antichains, thus maintaining a succinct representation of state
    sets. However, this representation does not allow to recover winning strategies.
    In this paper, we build on the antichain approach to develop an algorithm for
    constructing the winning strategies in parity games of imperfect information.
    We have implemented this algorithm as a prototype. To our knowledge, this is the
    first implementation of a procedure for solving imperfect-information parity games
    on graphs.

  text: We consider two-player games played in real time on game structures with clocks
    and parity objectives. The games are concurrent in that at each turn, both players
    independently propose a time delay and an action, and the action with the shorter
    delay is chosen. 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. First, we present an efficient reduction of these games to
    turn-based (i.e., nonconcurrent) finite-state (i.e., untimed) parity games. The
    states of the resulting game are pairs of clock regions of the original game.
    Our reduction improves the best known complexity for solving timed parity games.
    Moreover, the rich class of algorithms for classical parity games can now be applied
    to timed parity games. Second, we consider two restricted classes of strategies
    for the player that represents the controller in a real-time synthesis problem,
    namely, limit-robust and bounded-robust strategies. Using a limit-robust strategy,
    the controller cannot choose an exact real-valued time delay but must allow for
    some nonzero jitter in each of its actions. If there is a given lower bound on
    the jitter, then the strategy is bounded-robust. We show that exact strategies
    are more powerful than limit-robust strategies, which are more powerful than bounded-robust
    strategies for any bound. For both kinds of robust strategies, we present efficient
    reductions to standard timed automaton games. These reductions provide algorithms
    for the synthesis of robust real-time controllers.

  text: Presented here is the problem of recovering a dynamic image superimposed on
    a static background. Such a problem is ill-posed and may arise e.g. in imaging
    through semireflective media, in separation of an illumination image from a reflectance
    image, in imaging with diffraction phenomena, etc. In this work we study regularization
    of this problem in spirit of Total Variation and general sparsifying transformations.

  text: Recent studies on three-dimensional face recognition proposed to model facial
    expressions as isometries of the facial surface. Based on this model, expression-invariant
    signatures of the face were constructed by means of approximate isometric embedding
    into flat spaces. Here, we apply a new method for measuring isometry-invariant
    similarity between faces by embedding one facial surface into another. We demonstrate
    that our approach has several significant advantages, one of which is the ability
    to handle partially missing data. Promising face recognition results are obtained
    in numerical experiments even when the facial surfaces are severely occluded.

  text: A geometric framework for finding intrinsic correspondence between animated
    3D faces is presented. We model facial expressions as isometries of the facial
    surface and find the correspondence between two faces as the minimum-distortion
    mapping. Generalized multidimensional scaling is used for this goal. We apply
    our approach to texture mapping onto 3D video, expression exaggeration and morphing
    between faces.

  text: We present a theoretical and computational framework for matching of two-dimensional
    articulated shapes. Assuming that articulations can be modeled as near-isometries,
    we show an axiomatic construction of an articulation-invariant distance between
    shapes, formulated as a generalized multidimensional scaling (GMDS) problem and
    solved efficiently. Some numerical results demonstrating the accuracy of our method
    are presented.

  text: "We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple discounted reward
    objectives. Such MDPs occur in design problems where one wishes to simultaneously
    optimize several criteria, for example, latency and power. The possible trade-offs
    between the different objectives are characterized by the Pareto curve. We show
    that every Pareto-optimal point can be achieved by a memoryless strategy; however,
    unlike in the single-objective case, the memoryless strategy may require randomization.
    Moreover, we show that the Pareto curve can be approximated in polynomial time
    in the size of the MDP. Additionally, we study the problem if a given value vector
    is realizable by any strategy, and show that it can be decided in polynomial time;
    but the question whether it is realizable by a deterministic memoryless strategy
    is NP-complete. These results provide efficient algorithms for design exploration
    in MDP models with multiple objectives.\r\nThis research was supported in part

  text: A stochastic graph game is played by two players on a game graph with probabilistic
    transitions. We consider stochastic graph games with ω-regular winning conditions
    specified as parity objectives. These games lie in NP ∩ coNP. We present a strategy
    improvement algorithm for stochastic parity games; this is the first non-brute-force
    algorithm for solving these games. From the strategy improvement algorithm we
    obtain a randomized subexponential-time algorithm to solve such games.

  text: The synthesis of reactive systems requires the solution of two-player games
    on graphs with ω-regular objectives. When the objective is specified by a linear
    temporal logic formula or nondeterministic Büchi automaton, then previous algorithms
    for solving the game require the construction of an equivalent deterministic automaton.
    However, determinization for automata on infinite words is extremely complicated,
    and current implementations fail to produce deterministic automata even for relatively
    small inputs. We show how to construct, from a given nondeterministic Büchi automaton,
    an equivalent nondeterministic parity automaton that is good for solving games
    with objective . The main insight is that a nondeterministic automaton is good
    for solving games if it fairly simulates the equivalent deterministic automaton.
    In this way, we omit the determinization step in game solving and reactive synthesis.
    The fact that our automata are nondeterministic makes them surprisingly simple,
    amenable to symbolic implementation, and allows an incremental search for winning
    strategies.

  text: We propose and evaluate a new algorithm for checking the universality of nondeterministic
    finite automata. In contrast to the standard algorithm, which uses the subset
    construction to explicitly determinize the automaton, we keep the determinization
    step implicit. Our algorithm computes the least fixed point of a monotone function
    on the lattice of antichains of state sets. We evaluate the performance of our
    algorithm experimentally using the random automaton model recently proposed by
    Tabakov and Vardi. We show that on the difficult instances of this probabilistic
    model, the antichain algorithm outperforms the standard one by several orders
    of magnitude. We also show how variations of the antichain method can be used
    for solving the language-inclusion problem for nondeterministic finite automata,
    and the emptiness problem for alternating finite automata.

  text: We add freeze quantifiers to the game logic ATL in order to specify real-time
    objectives for games played on timed structures. We define the semantics of the
    resulting logic TATL by restricting the players to physically meaningful strategies,
    which do not prevent time from diverging. We show that TATL can be model checked
    over timed automaton games. We also specify timed optimization problems for physically
    meaningful strategies, and we show that for timed automaton games, the optimal
    answers can be approximated to within any degree of precision.

  text: We study observation-based strategies for two-player turn-based games on graphs
    with omega-regular objectives. An observation-based strategy relies on imperfect
    information about the history of a play, namely, on the past sequence of observations.
    Such games occur in the synthesis of a controller that does not see the private
    state of the plant. Our main results are twofold. First, we give a fixed-point
    algorithm for computing the set of states from which a player can win with a deterministic
    observation-based strategy for any omega-regular objective. The fixed point is
    computed in the lattice of antichains of state sets. This algorithm has the advantages
    of being directed by the objective and of avoiding an explicit subset construction
    on the game graph. Second, we give an algorithm for computing the set of states
    from which a player can win with probability 1 with a randomized observation-based
    strategy for a Buchi objective. This set is of interest because in the absence
    of perfect information, randomized strategies are more powerful than deterministic
    ones. We show that our algorithms are optimal by proving matching lower bounds.

  text: This paper describes a new system for &quot;Finding Satellite Tracks” in astronomical
    images based on the modern geometric approach. There is an increasing need of
    using methods with solid mathematical and statistical foundation in astronomical
    image processing. Where the computational methods are serving in all disciplines
    of science, they are becoming popular in the field of astronomy as well. Currently
    different computational systems are required to be numerically optimized before
    to get applied on astronomical images. So at present there is no single system
    which solves the problems of astronomers using computational methods based on
    modern approaches. The system &quot;Finding Satellite Tracks” is based on geometric
    matching method &quot;Recognition by Adaptive Subdivision of Transformation Space
    (RAST)&quot;.
