text: Many-body localized (MBL) systems are characterized by the absence of transport
and thermalization and, therefore, cannot be described by conventional statistical
mechanics. In this paper, using analytic arguments and numerical simulations,
we study the behavior of local observables in an isolated MBL system following
a quantum quench. For the case of a global quench, we find that the local observables
reach stationary, highly nonthermal values at long times as a result of slow dephasing
characteristic of the MBL phase. These stationary values retain the local memory
of the initial state due to the existence of local integrals of motion in the
MBL phase. The temporal fluctuations around stationary values exhibit universal
power-law decay in time, with an exponent set by the localization length and the
diagonal entropy of the initial state. Such a power-law decay holds for any local
observable and is related to the logarithmic in time growth of entanglement in
the MBL phase. This behavior distinguishes the MBL phase from both the Anderson
insulator (where no stationary state is reached) and from the ergodic phase (where
relaxation is expected to be exponential). For the case of a local quench, we
also find a power-law approach of local observables to their stationary values
when the system is prepared in a mixed state. Quench protocols considered in this
paper can be naturally implemented in systems of ultracold atoms in disordered
optical lattices, and the behavior of local observables provides a direct experimental
signature of many-body localization.

text: Invasive alien parasites and pathogens are a growing threat to biodiversity
worldwide, which can contribute to the extinction of endemic species. On the Galápagos
Islands, the invasive parasitic fly Philornis downsi poses a major threat to the
endemic avifauna. Here, we investigated the influence of this parasite on the
breeding success of two Darwin's finch species, the warbler finch (Certhidea olivacea)
and the sympatric small tree finch (Camarhynchus parvulus), on Santa Cruz Island
in 2010 and 2012. While the population of the small tree finch appeared to be
stable, the warbler finch has experienced a dramatic decline in population size
on Santa Cruz Island since 1997. We aimed to identify whether warbler finches
are particularly vulnerable during different stages of the breeding cycle. Contrary
to our prediction, breeding success was lower in the small tree finch than in
the warbler finch. In both species P. downsi had a strong negative impact on breeding
success and our data suggest that heavy rain events also lowered the fledging
success. On the one hand parents might be less efficient in compensating their
chicks' energy loss due to parasitism as they might be less efficient in foraging
on days of heavy rain. On the other hand, intense rainfalls might lead to increased
humidity and more rapid cooling of the nests. In the case of the warbler finch
we found that the control of invasive plant species with herbicides had a significant
additive negative impact on the breeding success. It is very likely that the availability
of insects (i.e. food abundance) is lower in such controlled areas, as herbicide
usage led to the removal of the entire understory. Predation seems to be a minor
factor in brood loss.

text: 'First cycle games (FCG) are played on a finite graph by two players who push
a token along the edges until a vertex is repeated, and a simple cycle is formed.
The winner is determined by some fixed property Y of the sequence of labels of
the edges (or nodes) forming this cycle. These games are traditionally of interest
because of their connection with infinite-duration games such as parity and mean-payoff
games. We study the memory requirements for winning strategies of FCGs and certain
associated infinite duration games. We exhibit a simple FCG that is not memoryless
determined (this corrects a mistake in Memoryless determinacy of parity and mean
payoff games: a simple proof by Bj⋯orklund, Sandberg, Vorobyov (2004) that claims
that FCGs for which Y is closed under cyclic permutations are memoryless determined).
We show that θ (n)! memory (where n is the number of nodes in the graph), which
is always sufficient, may be necessary to win some FCGs. On the other hand, we
identify easy to check conditions on Y (i.e., Y is closed under cyclic permutations,
and both Y and its complement are closed under concatenation) that are sufficient
to ensure that the corresponding FCGs and their associated infinite duration games
are memoryless determined. We demonstrate that many games considered in the literature,
such as mean-payoff, parity, energy, etc., satisfy these conditions. On the complexity
side, we show (for efficiently computable Y) that while solving FCGs is in PSPACE,
solving some families of FCGs is PSPACE-hard. '

text: Energy games belong to a class of turn-based two-player infinite-duration
games played on a weighted directed graph. It is one of the rare and intriguing
combinatorial problems that lie in NP∩co-NP, but are not known to be in P. The
existence of polynomial-time algorithms has been a major open problem for decades
and apart from pseudopolynomial algorithms there is no algorithm that solves any
non-trivial subclass in polynomial time. In this paper, we give several results
based on the weight structures of the graph. First, we identify a notion of penalty
and present a polynomial-time algorithm when the penalty is large. Our algorithm
is the first polynomial-time algorithm on a large class of weighted graphs. It
includes several worst-case instances on which previous algorithms, such as value
iteration and random facet algorithms, require at least sub-exponential time.
Our main technique is developing the first non-trivial approximation algorithm
and showing how to convert it to an exact algorithm. Moreover, we show that in
a practical case in verification where weights are clustered around a constant
number of values, the energy game problem can be solved in polynomial time. We
also show that the problem is still as hard as in general when the clique-width
is bounded or the graph is strongly ergodic, suggesting that restricting the graph
structure does not necessarily help.

text: Transgenerational effects are broader than only parental relationships. Despite
mounting evidence that multigenerational effects alter phenotypic and life-history
traits, our understanding of how they combine to determine fitness is not well
developed because of the added complexity necessary to study them. Here, we derive
a quantitative genetic model of adaptation to an extraordinary new environment
by an additive genetic component, phenotypic plasticity, maternal and grandmaternal
effects. We show how, at equilibrium, negative maternal and negative grandmaternal
effects maximize expected population mean fitness. We define negative transgenerational
effects as those that have a negative effect on trait expression in the subsequent
generation, that is, they slow, or potentially reverse, the expected evolutionary
dynamic. When maternal effects are positive, negative grandmaternal effects are
preferred. As expected under Mendelian inheritance, the grandmaternal effects
have a lower impact on fitness than the maternal effects, but this dual inheritance
model predicts a more complex relationship between maternal and grandmaternal
effects to constrain phenotypic variance and so maximize expected population mean
fitness in the offspring.

text: "Model-based testing is a promising technology for black-box software and
hardware testing, in which test cases are generated automatically from high-level
specifications. Nowadays, systems typically consist of multiple interacting components
and, due to their complexity, testing presents a considerable portion of the effort
and cost in the design process. Exploiting the compositional structure of system
specifications can considerably reduce the effort in model-based testing. Moreover,
inferring properties about the system from testing its individual components allows
the designer to reduce the amount of integration testing.\r\nIn this paper, we
study compositional properties of the IOCO-testing theory. We propose a new approach
to composition and hiding operations, inspired by contract-based design and interface
theories. These operations preserve behaviors that are compatible under composition
and hiding, and prune away incompatible ones. The resulting specification characterizes
the input sequences for which the unit testing of components is sufficient to
infer the correctness of component integration without the need for further tests.
We provide a methodology that uses these results to minimize integration testing
effort, but also to detect potential weaknesses in specifications. While we focus
on asynchronous models and the IOCO conformance relation, the resulting methodology
can be applied to a broader class of systems."

text: 'Recently there has been a significant effort to add quantitative properties
in formal verification and synthesis. While weighted automata over finite and
infinite words provide a natural and flexible framework to express quantitative
properties, perhaps surprisingly, several basic system properties such as average
response time cannot be expressed with weighted automata. In this work, we introduce
nested weighted automata as a new formalism for expressing important quantitative
properties such as average response time. We establish an almost complete decidability
picture for the basic decision problems for nested weighted automata, and illustrate
its applicability in several domains. '

text: As hybrid systems involve continuous behaviors, they should be evaluated by
quantitative methods, rather than qualitative methods. In this paper we adapt
a quantitative framework, called model measuring, to the hybrid systems domain.
The model-measuring problem asks, given a model M and a specification, what is
the maximal distance such that all models within that distance from M satisfy
(or violate) the specification. A distance function on models is given as part
of the input of the problem. Distances, especially related to continuous behaviors
are more natural in the hybrid case than the discrete case. We are interested
in distances represented by monotonic hybrid automata, a hybrid counterpart of
(discrete) weighted automata, whose recognized timed languages are monotone (w.r.t.
inclusion) in the values of parameters.The contributions of this paper are twofold.
First, we give sufficient conditions under which the model-measuring problem can
be solved. Second, we discuss the modeling of distances and applications of the
model-measuring problem.

text: "We define the model-measuring problem: given a model M and specification
φ, what is the maximal distance ρ such that all models M'within distance ρ from
M satisfy (or violate)φ. The model measuring problem presupposes a distance function
on models. We concentrate on automatic distance functions, which are defined by
weighted automata.\r\nThe model-measuring problem subsumes several generalizations
of the classical model-checking problem, in particular, quantitative model-checking
problems that measure the degree of satisfaction of a specification, and robustness
problems that measure how much a model can be perturbed without violating the
specification.\r\nWe show that for automatic distance functions, and ω-regular
linear-time and branching-time specifications, the model-measuring problem can
be solved.\r\nWe use automata-theoretic model-checking methods for model measuring,
replacing the emptiness question for standard word and tree automata by the optimal-weight
question for the weighted versions of these automata. We consider weighted automata
that accumulate weights by maximizing, summing, discounting, and limit averaging.
\r\nWe give several examples of using the model-measuring problem to compute various
notions of robustness and quantitative satisfaction for temporal specifications."

text: We consider multi-player graph games with partial-observation and parity objective.
While the decision problem for three-player games with a coalition of the first
and second players against the third player is undecidable, we present a decidability
result for partial-observation games where the first and third player are in a
coalition against the second player, thus where the second player is adversarial
but weaker due to partial-observation. We establish tight complexity bounds in
the case where player 1 is less informed than player 2, namely 2-EXPTIME-completeness
for parity objectives. The symmetric case of player 1 more informed than player
2 is much more complicated, and we show that already in the case where player
1 has perfect observation, memory of size non-elementary is necessary in general
for reachability objectives, and the problem is decidable for safety and reachability
objectives. Our results have tight connections with partial-observation stochastic
games for which we derive new complexity results.

Our main contributions are three fold:\r\n1. For reachability, we present an algorithm

and O(t/W) time for pair queries and O((n·t)/W) time for single-source queries.
Note that for constant t our algorithm uses O(n·logn) time for preprocessing;
and O(n/W) time for single-source queries, which is faster than depth first search/breath

path that requires O(n·t2) preprocessing time, O(n·t) space, and O(t2) time for
pair queries and O(n·t) time single-source queries.\r\n3. We give a space versus

text: 'Evolution occurs in populations of reproducing individuals. The structure
of the population affects the outcome of the evolutionary process. Evolutionary
graph theory is a powerful approach to study this phenomenon. There are two graphs.
The interaction graph specifies who interacts with whom in the context of evolution.
The replacement graph specifies who competes with whom for reproduction. The vertices
of the two graphs are the same, and each vertex corresponds to an individual.
A key quantity is the fixation probability of a new mutant. It is defined as the
probability that a newly introduced mutant (on a single vertex) generates a lineage
of offspring which eventually takes over the entire population of resident individuals.
The basic computational questions are as follows: (i) the qualitative question
asks whether the fixation probability is positive; and (ii) the quantitative approximation
question asks for an approximation of the fixation probability. Our main results
are: (1) We show that the qualitative question is NP-complete and the quantitative
approximation question is #P-hard in the special case when the interaction and
the replacement graphs coincide and even with the restriction that the resident
individuals do not reproduce (which corresponds to an invading population taking
over an empty structure). (2) We show that in general the qualitative question
is PSPACE-complete and the quantitative approximation question is PSPACE-hard
and can be solved in exponential time.'

text: 'We present a flexible framework for the automated competitive analysis of
on-line scheduling algorithms for firm- deadline real-time tasks based on multi-objective
graphs: Given a taskset and an on-line scheduling algorithm specified as a labeled
transition system, along with some optional safety, liveness, and/or limit-average
constraints for the adversary, we automatically compute the competitive ratio
of the algorithm w.r.t. a clairvoyant scheduler. We demonstrate the flexibility
and power of our approach by comparing the competitive ratio of several on-line
algorithms, including D(over), that have been proposed in the past, for various
tasksets. Our experimental results reveal that none of these algorithms is universally
optimal, in the sense that there are tasksets where other schedulers provide better
performance. Our framework is hence a very useful design tool for selecting optimal
algorithms for a given application. '

abstract:

text: We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), that
are a standard framework for robotics applications to model uncertainties present
in the real world, with temporal logic specifications. All temporal logic specifications
in linear-time temporal logic (LTL) can be expressed as parity objectives. We
study the qualitative analysis problem for POMDPs with parity objectives that
asks whether there is a controller (policy) to ensure that the objective holds
with probability 1 (almost-surely). While the qualitative analysis of POMDPs with
parity objectives is undecidable, recent results show that when restricted to
finite-memory policies the problem is EXPTIME-complete. While the problem is intractable
in theory, we present a practical approach to solve the qualitative analysis problem.
We designed several heuristics to deal with the exponential complexity, and have
used our implementation on a number of well-known POMDP examples for robotics
applications. Our results provide the first practical approach to solve the qualitative
analysis of robot motion planning with LTL properties in the presence of uncertainty.

text: ' We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) with
a set of target states and every transition is associated with an integer cost.
The optimization objective we study asks to minimize the expected total cost till
the target set is reached, while ensuring that the target set is reached almost-surely
(with probability 1). We show that for integer costs approximating the optimal
cost is undecidable. For positive costs, our results are as follows: (i) we establish
matching lower and upper bounds for the optimal cost and the bound is double exponential;
(ii) we show that the problem of approximating the optimal cost is decidable and
present approximation algorithms developing on the existing algorithms for POMDPs
with finite-horizon objectives. While the worst-case running time of our algorithm
is double exponential, we also present efficient stopping criteria for the algorithm
and show experimentally that it performs well in many examples of interest.'
