text: 'We consider the stochastic shortest path (SSP)problem for succinct Markov
decision processes(MDPs), where the MDP consists of a set of vari-ables, and a
set of nondeterministic rules that up-date the variables. First, we show that
several ex-amples from the AI literature can be modeled assuccinct MDPs. Then
we present computationalapproaches for upper and lower bounds for theSSP problem:
(a) for computing upper bounds, ourmethod is polynomial-time in the implicit descrip-tion
of the MDP; (b) for lower bounds, we present apolynomial-time (in the size of
the implicit descrip-tion) reduction to quadratic programming. Our ap-proach is
applicable even to infinite-state MDPs.Finally, we present experimental results
to demon-strate the effectiveness of our approach on severalclassical examples
from the AI literature.'

text: 'Termination is one of the basic liveness properties, and we study the termination
problem for probabilistic programs with real-valued variables. Previous works
focused on the qualitative problem that asks whether an input program terminates
with probability~1 (almost-sure termination). A powerful approach for this qualitative
problem is the notion of ranking supermartingales with respect to a given set
of invariants. The quantitative problem (probabilistic termination) asks for bounds
on the termination probability. A fundamental and conceptual drawback of the existing
approaches to address probabilistic termination is that even though the supermartingales
consider the probabilistic behavior of the programs, the invariants are obtained
completely ignoring the probabilistic aspect. In this work we address the probabilistic
termination problem for linear-arithmetic probabilistic programs with nondeterminism.
We define the notion of {\em stochastic invariants}, which are constraints along
with a probability bound that the constraints hold. We introduce a concept of
{\em repulsing supermartingales}. First, we show that repulsing supermartingales
can be used to obtain bounds on the probability of the stochastic invariants.
Second, we show the effectiveness of repulsing supermartingales in the following
three ways: (1)~With a combination of ranking and repulsing supermartingales we
can compute lower bounds on the probability of termination; (2)~repulsing supermartingales
provide witnesses for refutation of almost-sure termination; and (3)~with a combination
of ranking and repulsing supermartingales we can establish persistence properties
of probabilistic programs. We also present results on related computational problems
and an experimental evaluation of our approach on academic examples. '

text: We study controller synthesis problems for finite-state Markov decision processes,
where the objective is to optimize the expected mean-payoff performance and stability
(also known as variability in the literature). We argue that the basic notion
of expressing the stability using the statistical variance of the mean payoff
is sometimes insufficient, and propose an alternative definition. We show that
a strategy ensuring both the expected mean payoff and the variance below given
bounds requires randomization and memory, under both the above definitions. We
then show that the problem of finding such a strategy can be expressed as a set
of constraints.

text: "Transforming deterministic ω\r\n-automata into deterministic parity automata
is traditionally done using variants of appearance records. We present a more
efficient variant of this approach, tailored to Rabin automata, and several optimizations
applicable to all appearance records. We compare the methods experimentally and
find out that our method produces smaller automata than previous approaches. Moreover,
the experiments demonstrate the potential of our method for LTL synthesis, using
LTL-to-Rabin translators. It leads to significantly smaller parity automata when
compared to state-of-the-art approaches on complex formulae."

text: We consider the problem of computing the set of initial states of a dynamical
system such that there exists a control strategy to ensure that the trajectories
satisfy a temporal logic specification with probability 1 (almost-surely). We
focus on discrete-time, stochastic linear dynamics and specifications given as
formulas of the Generalized Reactivity(1) fragment of Linear Temporal Logic over
linear predicates in the states of the system. We propose a solution based on
iterative abstraction-refinement, and turn-based 2-player probabilistic games.
While the theoretical guarantee of our algorithm after any finite number of iterations
is only a partial solution, we show that if our algorithm terminates, then the
result is the set of all satisfying initial states. Moreover, for any (partial)
solution our algorithm synthesizes witness control strategies to ensure almost-sure
satisfaction of the temporal logic specification. While the proposed algorithm
guarantees progress and soundness in every iteration, it is computationally demanding.
We offer an alternative, more efficient solution for the reachability properties
that decomposes the problem into a series of smaller problems of the same type.
All algorithms are demonstrated on an illustrative case study.

text: 'The fixation probability is the probability that a new mutant introduced
in a homogeneous population eventually takes over the entire population. The fixation
probability is a fundamental quantity of natural selection, and known to depend
on the population structure. Amplifiers of natural selection are population structures
which increase the fixation probability of advantageous mutants, as compared to
the baseline case of well-mixed populations. In this work we focus on symmetric
population structures represented as undirected graphs. In the regime of undirected
graphs, the strongest amplifier known has been the Star graph, and the existence
of undirected graphs with stronger amplification properties has remained open
for over a decade. In this work we present the Comet and Comet-swarm families
of undirected graphs. We show that for a range of fitness values of the mutants,
the Comet and Cometswarm graphs have fixation probability strictly larger than
the fixation probability of the Star graph, for fixed population size and at the
limit of large populations, respectively. '

text: 'A fundamental algorithmic problem at the heart of static analysis is Dyck
reachability. The input is a graphwhere the edges are labeled with different types
of opening and closing parentheses, and the reachabilityinformation is computed
via paths whose parentheses are properly matched. We present new results for Dyckreachability
problems with applications to alias analysis and data-dependence analysis. Our
main contributions,that include improved upper bounds as well as lower bounds
that establish optimality guarantees, are asfollows:First, we consider Dyck reachability
on bidirected graphs, which is the standard way of performing field-sensitive
points-to analysis. Given a bidirected graph withnnodes andmedges, we present:
(i) an algorithmwith worst-case running timeO(m+n·α(n)), whereα(n)is the inverse
Ackermann function, improving thepreviously knownO(n2)time bound; (ii) a matching
lower bound that shows that our algorithm is optimalwrt to worst-case complexity;
and (iii) an optimal average-case upper bound ofO(m)time, improving thepreviously
knownO(m·logn)bound.Second, we consider the problem of context-sensitive data-dependence
analysis, where the task is to obtainanalysis summaries of library code in the
presence of callbacks. Our algorithm preprocesses libraries in almostlinear time,
after which the contribution of the library in the complexity of the client analysis
is only linear,and only wrt the number of call sites.Third, we prove that combinatorial
algorithms for Dyck reachability on general graphs with truly sub-cubic bounds
cannot be obtained without obtaining sub-cubic combinatorial algorithms for Boolean
MatrixMultiplication, which is a long-standing open problem. Thus we establish
that the existing combinatorialalgorithms for Dyck reachability are (conditionally)
optimal for general graphs. We also show that the samehardness holds for graphs
of constant treewidth.Finally, we provide a prototype implementation of our algorithms
for both alias analysis and data-dependenceanalysis. Our experimental evaluation
demonstrates that the new algorithms significantly outperform allexisting methods
on the two problems, over real-world benchmarks.'

text: "We present a new dynamic partial-order reduction method for stateless model
checking of concurrent programs. A common approach for exploring program behaviors
relies on enumerating the traces of the program, without storing the visited states
(aka stateless exploration). As the number of distinct traces grows exponentially,
dynamic partial-order reduction (DPOR) techniques have been successfully used
to partition the space of traces into equivalence classes (Mazurkiewicz partitioning),
with the goal of exploring only few representative traces from each class.\r\nWe
introduce a new equivalence on traces under sequential consistency semantics,
which we call the observation equivalence. Two traces are observationally equivalent
if every read event observes the same write event in both traces. While the traditional
Mazurkiewicz equivalence is control-centric, our new definition is data-centric.
We show that our observation equivalence is coarser than the Mazurkiewicz equivalence,
and in many cases even exponentially coarser. We devise a DPOR exploration of
the trace space, called data-centric DPOR, based on the observation equivalence.\r\n1.
For acyclic architectures, our algorithm is guaranteed to explore exactly one
representative trace from each observation class, while spending polynomial time
per class. Hence, our algorithm is optimal wrt the observation equivalence, and
in several cases explores exponentially fewer traces than any enumerative method
based on the Mazurkiewicz equivalence.\r\n2. For cyclic architectures, we consider
an equivalence between traces which is finer than the observation equivalence;
but coarser than the Mazurkiewicz equivalence, and in some cases is exponentially
coarser. Our data-centric DPOR algorithm remains optimal under this trace equivalence.
\r\nFinally, we perform a basic experimental comparison between the existing Mazurkiewicz-based
DPOR and our data-centric DPOR on a set of academic benchmarks. Our results show
a significant reduction in both running time and the number of explored equivalence
classes."

text: 'Evolutionary graph theory studies the evolutionary dynamics in a population
structure given as a connected graph. Each node of the graph represents an individual
of the population, and edges determine how offspring are placed. We consider the
classical birth-death Moran process where there are two types of individuals,
namely, the residents with fitness 1 and mutants with fitness r. The fitness indicates
the reproductive strength. The evolutionary dynamics happens as follows: in the
initial step, in a population of all resident individuals a mutant is introduced,
and then at each step, an individual is chosen proportional to the fitness of
its type to reproduce, and the offspring replaces a neighbor uniformly at random.
The process stops when all individuals are either residents or mutants. The probability
that all individuals in the end are mutants is called the fixation probability,
which is a key factor in the rate of evolution. We consider the problem of approximating
the fixation probability. The class of algorithms that is extremely relevant for
approximation of the fixation probabilities is the Monte-Carlo simulation of the
process. Previous results present a polynomial-time Monte-Carlo algorithm for
undirected graphs when r is given in unary. First, we present a simple modification:
instead of simulating each step, we discard ineffective steps, where no node changes
type (i.e., either residents replace residents, or mutants replace mutants). Using
the above simple modification and our result that the number of effective steps
is concentrated around the expected number of effective steps, we present faster
polynomial-time Monte-Carlo algorithms for undirected graphs. Our algorithms are
always at least a factor O(n2/ log n) faster as compared to the previous algorithms,
where n is the number of nodes, and is polynomial even if r is given in binary.
We also present lower bounds showing that the upper bound on the expected number
of effective steps we present is asymptotically tight for undirected graphs. '

text: 'Graph games provide the foundation for modeling and synthesis of reactive
processes. Such games are played over graphs where the vertices are controlled
by two adversarial players. We consider graph games where the objective of the
first player is the conjunction of a qualitative objective (specified as a parity
condition) and a quantitative objective (specified as a meanpayoff condition).
There are two variants of the problem, namely, the threshold problem where the
quantitative goal is to ensure that the mean-payoff value is above a threshold,
and the value problem where the quantitative goal is to ensure the optimal mean-payoff
value; in both cases ensuring the qualitative parity objective. The previous best-known
algorithms for game graphs with n vertices, m edges, parity objectives with d
priorities, and maximal absolute reward value W for mean-payoff objectives, are
as follows: O(nd+1 . m . w) for the threshold problem, and O(nd+2 · m · W) for
the value problem. Our main contributions are faster algorithms, and the running
times of our algorithms are as follows: O(nd-1 · m ·W) for the threshold problem,
and O(nd · m · W · log(n · W)) for the value problem. For mean-payoff parity objectives
with two priorities, our algorithms match the best-known bounds of the algorithms
for mean-payoff games (without conjunction with parity objectives). Our results
are relevant in synthesis of reactive systems with both functional requirement
(given as a qualitative objective) and performance requirement (given as a quantitative
objective).'

text: 'We consider two player, zero-sum, finite-state concurrent reachability games,
played for an infinite number of rounds, where in every round, each player simultaneously
and independently of the other players chooses an action, whereafter the successor
state is determined by a probability distribution given by the current state and
the chosen actions. Player 1 wins iff a designated goal state is eventually visited.
We are interested in the complexity of stationary strategies measured by their
patience, which is defined as the inverse of the smallest non-zero probability
employed. Our main results are as follows: We show that: (i) the optimal bound
on the patience of optimal and -optimal strategies, for both players is doubly
exponential; and (ii) even in games with a single non-absorbing state exponential
(in the number of actions) patience is necessary. '

text: In the analysis of reactive systems a quantitative objective assigns a real
value to every trace of the system. The value decision problem for a quantitative
objective requires a trace whose value is at least a given threshold, and the
exact value decision problem requires a trace whose value is exactly the threshold.
We compare the computational complexity of the value and exact value decision
problems for classical quantitative objectives, such as sum, discounted sum, energy,
and mean-payoff for two standard models of reactive systems, namely, graphs and
graph games.

text: We consider the problem of developing automated techniques for solving recurrence
relations to aid the expected-runtime analysis of programs. The motivation is
that several classical textbook algorithms have quite efficient expected-runtime
complexity, whereas the corresponding worst-case bounds are either inefficient
(e.g., Quick-Sort), or completely ineffective (e.g., Coupon-Collector). Since
the main focus of expected-runtime analysis is to obtain efficient bounds, we
consider bounds that are either logarithmic, linear or almost-linear (O(log n),
O(n), O(n · log n), respectively, where n represents the input size). Our main
contribution is an efficient (simple linear-time algorithm) sound approach for
deriving such expected-runtime bounds for the analysis of recurrence relations
induced by randomized algorithms. The experimental results show that our approach
can efficiently derive asymptotically optimal expected-runtime bounds for recurrences
of classical randomized algorithms, including Randomized-Search, Quick-Sort, Quick-Select,
Coupon-Collector, where the worst-case bounds are either inefficient (such as
linear as compared to logarithmic expected-runtime complexity, or quadratic as
compared to linear or almost-linear expected-runtime complexity), or ineffective.

text: A standard objective in partially-observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs)
is to find a policy that maximizes the expected discounted-sum payoff. However,
such policies may still permit unlikely but highly undesirable outcomes, which
is problematic especially in safety-critical applications. Recently, there has
been a surge of interest in POMDPs where the goal is to maximize the probability
to ensure that the payoff is at least a given threshold, but these approaches
do not consider any optimization beyond satisfying this threshold constraint.
In this work we go beyond both the “expectation” and “threshold” approaches and
consider a “guaranteed payoff optimization (GPO)” problem for POMDPs, where we
are given a threshold t and the objective is to find a policy σ such that a) each
possible outcome of σ yields a discounted-sum payoff of at least t, and b) the
expected discounted-sum payoff of σ is optimal (or near-optimal) among all policies
satisfying a). We present a practical approach to tackle the GPO problem and evaluate
it on standard POMDP benchmarks.

text: Pushdown systems (PDSs) and recursive state machines (RSMs), which are linearly
equivalent, are standard models for interprocedural analysis. Yet RSMs are more
convenient as they (a) explicitly model function calls and returns, and (b) specify
many natural parameters for algorithmic analysis, e.g., the number of entries
and exits. We consider a general framework where RSM transitions are labeled from
a semiring and path properties are algebraic with semiring operations, which can
model, e.g., interprocedural reachability and dataflow analysis problems. Our
main contributions are new algorithms for several fundamental problems. As compared
to a direct translation of RSMs to PDSs and the best-known existing bounds of
PDSs, our analysis algorithm improves the complexity for finite-height semirings
(that subsumes reachability and standard dataflow properties). We further consider
the problem of extracting distance values from the representation structures computed
by our algorithm, and give efficient algorithms that distinguish the complexity
of a one-time preprocessing from the complexity of each individual query. Another
advantage of our algorithm is that our improvements carry over to the concurrent
setting, where we improve the bestknown complexity for the context-bounded analysis
of concurrent RSMs. Finally, we provide a prototype implementation that gives
a significant speed-up on several benchmarks from the SLAM/SDV project.

text: 'A fundamental algorithmic problem at the heart of static analysis is Dyck
reachability. The input is a graph where the edges are labeled with different
types of opening and closing parentheses, and the reachability information is
computed via paths whose parentheses are properly matched. We present new results
for Dyck reachability problems with applications to alias analysis and data-dependence
analysis. Our main contributions, that include improved upper bounds as well as
lower bounds that establish optimality guarantees, are as follows: First, we consider
Dyck reachability on bidirected graphs, which is the standard way of performing
field-sensitive points-to analysis. Given a bidirected graph with n nodes and
m edges, we present: (i) an algorithm with worst-case running time O(m + n · α(n)),
where α(n) is the inverse Ackermann function, improving the previously known O(n2)
time bound; (ii) a matching lower bound that shows that our algorithm is optimal
wrt to worst-case complexity; and (iii) an optimal average-case upper bound of
O(m) time, improving the previously known O(m · logn) bound. Second, we consider
the problem of context-sensitive data-dependence analysis, where the task is to
obtain analysis summaries of library code in the presence of callbacks. Our algorithm
preprocesses libraries in almost linear time, after which the contribution of
the library in the complexity of the client analysis is only linear, and only
wrt the number of call sites. Third, we prove that combinatorial algorithms for
Dyck reachability on general graphs with truly sub-cubic bounds cannot be obtained
without obtaining sub-cubic combinatorial algorithms for Boolean Matrix Multiplication,
which is a long-standing open problem. Thus we establish that the existing combinatorial
algorithms for Dyck reachability are (conditionally) optimal for general graphs.
We also show that the same hardness holds for graphs of constant treewidth. Finally,
we provide a prototype implementation of our algorithms for both alias analysis
and data-dependence analysis. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that the
new algorithms significantly outperform all existing methods on the two problems,
over real-world benchmarks.'

text: We present a new proof rule for proving almost-sure termination of probabilistic
programs, including those that contain demonic non-determinism. An important question
for a probabilistic program is whether the probability mass of all its diverging
runs is zero, that is that it terminates "almost surely". Proving that can be
hard, and this paper presents a new method for doing so. It applies directly to
the program's source code, even if the program contains demonic choice. Like others,
we use variant functions (a.k.a. "super-martingales") that are real-valued and
decrease randomly on each loop iteration; but our key innovation is that the amount
as well as the probability of the decrease are parametric. We prove the soundness
of the new rule, indicate where its applicability goes beyond existing rules,
and explain its connection to classical results on denumerable (non-demonic) Markov
chains.

text: 'We consider the problem of reachability in pushdown graphs. We study the
problem for pushdown graphs with constant treewidth. Even for pushdown graphs
with treewidth 1, for the reachability problem we establish the following: (i)
the problem is PTIME-complete, and (ii) any subcubic algorithm for the problem
would contradict the k-clique conjecture and imply faster combinatorial algorithms
for cliques in graphs.'

text: "Simulation is an attractive alternative to language inclusion for automata
as it is an under-approximation of language inclusion, but usually has much lower
complexity. Simulation has also been extended in two orthogonal directions, namely,
(1) fair simulation, for simulation over specified set of infinite runs; and (2)
quantitative simulation, for simulation between weighted automata. While fair
trace inclusion is PSPACE-complete, fair simulation can be computed in polynomial
time. For weighted automata, the (quantitative) language inclusion problem is
undecidable in general, whereas the (quantitative) simulation reduces to quantitative
games, which admit pseudo-polynomial time algorithms.\r\n\r\nIn this work, we
study (quantitative) simulation for weighted automata with Büchi acceptance conditions,
i.e., we generalize fair simulation from non-weighted automata to weighted automata.
We show that imposing Büchi acceptance conditions on weighted automata changes
many fundamental properties of the simulation games, yet they still admit pseudo-polynomial
time algorithms."
