text: In solid tumors, targeted treatments can lead to dramatic regressions, but
responses are often short-lived because resistant cancer cells arise. The major
strategy proposed for overcoming resistance is combination therapy. We present
a mathematical model describing the evolutionary dynamics of lesions in response
to treatment. We first studied 20 melanoma patients receiving vemurafenib. We
then applied our model to an independent set of pancreatic, colorectal, and melanoma
cancer patients with metastatic disease. We find that dual therapy results in
long-term disease control for most patients, if there are no single mutations
that cause cross-resistance to both drugs; in patients with large disease burden,
triple therapy is needed. We also find that simultaneous therapy with two drugs
is much more effective than sequential therapy. Our results provide realistic
expectations for the efficacy of new drug combinations and inform the design of
trials for new cancer therapeutics.

text: In this work we present a flexible tool for tumor progression, which simulates
the evolutionary dynamics of cancer. Tumor progression implements a multi-type
branching process where the key parameters are the fitness landscape, the mutation
rate, and the average time of cell division. The fitness of a cancer cell depends
on the mutations it has accumulated. The input to our tool could be any fitness
landscape, mutation rate, and cell division time, and the tool produces the growth
dynamics and all relevant statistics.

text: 'We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) with specifications given as
Büchi (liveness) objectives. We consider the problem of computing the set of almost-sure
winning vertices from where the objective can be ensured with probability 1. We
study for the first time the average case complexity of the classical algorithm
for computing the set of almost-sure winning vertices for MDPs with Büchi objectives.
Our contributions are as follows: First, we show that for MDPs with constant out-degree
the expected number of iterations is at most logarithmic and the average case
running time is linear (as compared to the worst case linear number of iterations
and quadratic time complexity). Second, for the average case analysis over all
MDPs we show that the expected number of iterations is constant and the average
case running time is linear (again as compared to the worst case linear number
of iterations and quadratic time complexity). Finally we also show that given
that all MDPs are equally likely, the probability that the classical algorithm
requires more than constant number of iterations is exponentially small.'

text: We study evolutionary game theory in a setting where individuals learn from
each other. We extend the traditional approach by assuming that a population contains
individuals with different learning abilities. In particular, we explore the situation
where individuals have different search spaces, when attempting to learn the strategies
of others. The search space of an individual specifies the set of strategies learnable
by that individual. The search space is genetically given and does not change
under social evolutionary dynamics. We introduce a general framework and study
a specific example in the context of direct reciprocity. For this example, we
obtain the counter intuitive result that cooperation can only evolve for intermediate
benefit-to-cost ratios, while small and large benefit-to-cost ratios favor defection.
Our paper is a step toward making a connection between computational learning
theory and evolutionary game dynamics.

text: The classical (boolean) notion of refinement for behavioral interfaces of
system components is the alternating refinement preorder. In this paper, we define
a quantitative measure for interfaces, called interface simulation distance. It
makes the alternating refinement preorder quantitative by, intu- itively, tolerating
errors (while counting them) in the alternating simulation game. We show that
the interface simulation distance satisfies the triangle inequality, that the
distance between two interfaces does not increase under parallel composition with
a third interface, and that the distance between two interfaces can be bounded
from above and below by distances between abstractions of the two interfaces.
We illustrate the framework, and the properties of the distances under composition
of interfaces, with two case studies.

text: We introduce games with probabilistic uncertainty, a model for controller
synthesis in which the controller observes the state through imprecise sensors
that provide correct information about the current state with a fixed probability.
That is, in each step, the sensors return an observed state, and given the observed
state, there is a probability distribution (due to the estimation error) over
the actual current state. The controller must base its decision on the observed
state (rather than the actual current state, which it does not know). On the other
hand, we assume that the environment can perfectly observe the current state.
We show that controller synthesis for qualitative ω-regular objectives in our
model can be reduced in polynomial time to standard partial-observation stochastic
games, and vice-versa. As a consequence we establish the precise decidability
frontier for the new class of games, and establish optimal complexity results
for all the decidable problems.

text: 'Two-player games on graphs are central in many problems in formal verification
and program analysis such as synthesis and verification of open systems. In this
work we consider solving recursive game graphs (or pushdown game graphs) that
can model the control flow of sequential programs with recursion. While pushdown
games have been studied before with qualitative objectives, such as reachability
and parity objectives, in this work we study for the first time such games with
the most well-studied quantitative objective, namely, mean payoff objectives.
In pushdown games two types of strategies are relevant: (1) global strategies,
that depend on the entire global history; and (2) modular strategies, that have
only local memory and thus do not depend on the context of invocation, but only
on the history of the current invocation of the module. Our main results are as
follows: (1) One-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under global
strategies are decidable in polynomial time. (2) Two-player pushdown games with
mean-payoff objectives under global strategies are undecidable. (3) One-player
pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies are NP-hard.
(4) Two-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies
can be solved in NP (i.e., both one-player and two-player pushdown games with
mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies are NP-complete). We also establish
the optimal strategy complexity showing that global strategies for mean-payoff
objectives require infinite memory even in one-player pushdown games; and memoryless
modular strategies are sufficient in two-player pushdown games. Finally we also
show that all the problems have the same computational complexity if the stack
boundedness condition is added, where along with the mean-payoff objective the
player must also ensure that the stack height is bounded.'

text: 'We consider probabilistic automata on infinite words with acceptance defined
by parity conditions. We consider three qualitative decision problems: (i) the
positive decision problem asks whether there is a word that is accepted with positive
probability; (ii) the almost decision problem asks whether there is a word that
is accepted with probability 1; and (iii) the limit decision problem asks whether
words are accepted with probability arbitrarily close to 1. We unify and generalize
several decidability results for probabilistic automata over infinite words, and
identify a robust (closed under union and intersection) subclass of probabilistic
automata for which all the qualitative decision problems are decidable for parity
conditions. We also show that if the input words are restricted to lasso shape
(regular) words, then the positive and almost problems are decidable for all probabilistic
automata with parity conditions. For most decidable problems we show an optimal
PSPACE-complete complexity bound.'

text: 'Energy parity games are infinite two-player turn-based games played on weighted
graphs. The objective of the game combines a (qualitative) parity condition with
the (quantitative) requirement that the sum of the weights (i.e., the level of
energy in the game) must remain positive. Beside their own interest in the design
and synthesis of resource-constrained omega-regular specifications, energy parity
games provide one of the simplest model of games with combined qualitative and
quantitative objectives. Our main results are as follows: (a) exponential memory
is sufficient and may be necessary for winning strategies in energy parity games;
(b) the problem of deciding the winner in energy parity games can be solved in
NP ∩ coNP; and (c) we give an algorithm to solve energy parity by reduction to
energy games. We also show that the problem of deciding the winner in energy parity
games is logspace-equivalent to the problem of deciding the winner in mean-payoff
parity games, which can thus be solved in NP ∩ coNP. As a consequence we also
obtain a conceptually simple algorithm to solve mean-payoff parity games.'

text: An automaton with advice is a finite state automaton which has access to an
additional fixed infinite string called an advice tape. We refine the Myhill-Nerode
theorem to characterize the languages of finite strings that are accepted by automata
with advice. We do the same for tree automata with advice.

text: 'We study the expressive power of logical interpretations on the class of
scattered trees, namely those with countably many infinite branches. Scattered
trees can be thought of as the tree analogue of scattered linear orders. Every
scattered tree has an ordinal rank that reflects the structure of its infinite
branches. We prove, roughly, that trees and orders of large rank cannot be interpreted
in scattered trees of small rank. We consider a quite general notion of interpretation:
each element of the interpreted structure is represented by a set of tuples of
subsets of the interpreting tree. Our trees are countable, not necessarily finitely
branching, and may have finitely many unary predicates as labellings. We also
show how to replace injective set-interpretations in (not necessarily scattered)
trees by ''finitary'' set-interpretations.'

text: 'One central issue in the formal design and analysis of reactive systems is
the notion of refinement that asks whether all behaviors of the implementation

the notion of simulation. Alternating transition systems (ATSs) provide a general

(1) We present an improved algorithm for fair simulation with Büchi fairness constraints;
our algorithm requires O(n 3·m) time as compared to the previous known O(n 6)-time
algorithm, where n is the number of states and m is the number of transitions.
(2) We present a game based algorithm for alternating simulation that requires
O(m2)-time as compared to the previous known O((n·m)2)-time algorithm, where n
is the number of states and m is the size of transition relation. (3) We present
an iterative algorithm for alternating simulation that matches the time complexity
of the game based algorithm, but is more space efficient than the game based algorithm.

text: 'Two-player games on graphs are central in many problems in formal verification
and program analysis such as synthesis and verification of open systems. In this
work we consider solving recursive game graphs (or pushdown game graphs) that
can model the control flow of sequential programs with recursion. While pushdown
games have been studied before with qualitative objectives, such as reachability
and ω-regular objectives, in this work we study for the first time such games
with the most well-studied quantitative objective, namely, mean-payoff objectives.
In pushdown games two types of strategies are relevant: (1) global strategies,
that depend on the entire global history; and (2) modular strategies, that have
only local memory and thus do not depend on the context of invocation, but only
on the history of the current invocation of the module. Our main results are as
follows: (1) One-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under global
strategies are decidable in polynomial time. (2) Two- player pushdown games with
mean-payoff objectives under global strategies are undecidable. (3) One-player
pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies are NP- hard.
(4) Two-player pushdown games with mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies
can be solved in NP (i.e., both one-player and two-player pushdown games with
mean-payoff objectives under modular strategies are NP-complete). We also establish
the optimal strategy complexity showing that global strategies for mean-payoff
objectives require infinite memory even in one-player pushdown games; and memoryless
modular strategies are sufficient in two- player pushdown games. Finally we also
show that all the problems have the same complexity if the stack boundedness condition
is added, where along with the mean-payoff objective the player must also ensure
that the stack height is bounded.'

text: 'We consider two-player zero-sum stochastic games on graphs with ω-regular
winning conditions specified as parity objectives. These games have applications
in the design and control of reactive systems. We survey the complexity results
for the problem of deciding the winner in such games, and in classes of interest
obtained as special cases, based on the information and the power of randomization
available to the players, on the class of objectives and on the winning mode.
On the basis of information, these games can be classified as follows: (a) partial-observation
(both players have partial view of the game); (b) one-sided partial-observation
(one player has partial-observation and the other player has complete-observation);
and (c) complete-observation (both players have complete view of the game). The
one-sided partial-observation games have two important subclasses: the one-player
games, known as partial-observation Markov decision processes (POMDPs), and the
blind one-player games, known as probabilistic automata. On the basis of randomization,
(a) the players may not be allowed to use randomization (pure strategies), or
(b) they may choose a probability distribution over actions but the actual random
choice is external and not visible to the player (actions invisible), or (c) they
may use full randomization. Finally, various classes of games are obtained by
restricting the parity objective to a reachability, safety, Büchi, or coBüchi
condition. We also consider several winning modes, such as sure-winning (i.e.,
all outcomes of a strategy have to satisfy the winning condition), almost-sure
winning (i.e., winning with probability 1), limit-sure winning (i.e., winning
with probability arbitrarily close to 1), and value-threshold winning (i.e., winning
with probability at least ν, where ν is a given rational). '

text: 'We introduce consumption games, a model for discrete interactive system with
multiple resources that are consumed or reloaded independently. More precisely,
a consumption game is a finite-state graph where each transition is labeled by
a vector of resource updates, where every update is a non-positive number or ω.
The ω updates model the reloading of a given resource. Each vertex belongs either
to player □ or player ◇, where the aim of player □ is to play so that the resources
are never exhausted. We consider several natural algorithmic problems about consumption
games, and show that although these problems are computationally hard in general,
they are solvable in polynomial time for every fixed number of resource types
(i.e., the dimension of the update vectors) and bounded resource updates. '

text: Computing the winning set for Büchi objectives in alternating games on graphs
is a central problem in computer aided verification with a large number of applications.
The long standing best known upper bound for solving the problem is Õ(n·m), where
n is the number of vertices and m is the number of edges in the graph. We are
the first to break the Õ(n·m) boundary by presenting a new technique that reduces
the running time to O(n 2). This bound also leads to O(n 2) time algorithms for
computing the set of almost-sure winning vertices for Büchi objectives (1) in
alternating games with probabilistic transitions (improving an earlier bound of
Õ(n·m)), (2) in concurrent graph games with constant actions (improving an earlier
bound of O(n 3)), and (3) in Markov decision processes (improving for m > n
4/3 an earlier bound of O(min(m 1.5, m·n 2/3)). We also show that the same technique
can be used to compute the maximal end-component decomposition of a graph in time
O(n 2), which is an improvement over earlier bounds for m > n 4/3. Finally,
we show how to maintain the winning set for Büchi objectives in alternating games
under a sequence of edge insertions or a sequence of edge deletions in O(n) amortized
time per operation. This is the first dynamic algorithm for this problem.

text: 'We study the automatic synthesis of fair non-repudiation protocols, a class
of fair exchange protocols, used for digital contract signing. First, we show
how to specify the objectives of the participating agents, the trusted third party
(TTP) and the protocols as path formulas in Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) and prove
that the satisfaction of the objectives of the agents and the TTP imply satisfaction
of the protocol objectives. We then show that weak (co-operative) co-synthesis
and classical (strictly competitive) co-synthesis fail in synthesizing these protocols,
whereas assume-guarantee synthesis (AGS) succeeds. We demonstrate the success
of assume-guarantee synthesis as follows: (a) any solution of assume-guarantee
synthesis is attack-free; no subset of participants can violate the objectives
of the other participants without violating their own objectives; (b) the Asokan-Shoup-Waidner
(ASW) certified mail protocol that has known vulnerabilities is not a solution
of AGS; and (c) the Kremer-Markowitch (KM) non-repudiation protocol is a solution
of AGS. To our knowledge this is the first application of synthesis to fair non-repudiation
protocols, and our results show how synthesis can generate correct protocols and
automatically discover vulnerabilities. The solution to assume-guarantee synthesis
can be computed efficiently as the secure equilibrium solution of three-player
graph games. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.'

text: 'The theory of graph games with ω-regular winning conditions is the foundation
for modeling and synthesizing reactive processes. In the case of stochastic reactive
processes, the corresponding stochastic graph games have three players, two of
them (System and Environment) behaving adversarially, and the third (Uncertainty)
behaving probabilistically. We consider two problems for stochastic graph games:
the qualitative problem asks for the set of states from which a player can win
with probability 1 (almost-sure winning); and the quantitative problem asks for
the maximal probability of winning (optimal winning) from each state. We consider
ω-regular winning conditions formalized as Müller winning conditions. We present
optimal memory bounds for pure (deterministic) almost-sure winning and optimal
winning strategies in stochastic graph games with Müller winning conditions. We
also study the complexity of stochastic Müller games and show that both the qualitative
and quantitative analysis problems are PSPACE-complete. Our results are relevant
in synthesis of stochastic reactive processes.'

text: In this paper we survey results of two-player games on graphs and Markov decision
processes with parity, mean-payoff and energy objectives, and the combination
of mean-payoff and energy objectives with parity objectives. These problems have
applications in verification and synthesis of reactive systems in resource-constrained
environments.
