On Emptiness and Membership Problems for Set Automata

P. 295–307.
Rubtsov A. A., Vyalyi M.

We consider a computational model which is known as set automata.

The set automata are one-way finite automata with an additional storage—the set. There are two kinds of set automata—the deterministic and the nondeterministic ones. We denote them as DSA and NSA respectively. The model was introduced by Kutrib et al. in 2014 in [2, 3].

In this paper we characterize algorithmic complexity of the emptiness and membership problems for set automata. More definitely, we prove that both problems are PSPACEPSPACE-complete for both kinds of set automata.

The study has been funded by the Russian Academic Excellence Project ‘5-100’. Supported in part by RFBR grants 16–01–00362 and 17–51-10005.

We present a computational model for Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs). The predecessor of PEGs top-down parsing languages (TDPLs) were discovered by A. Birman and J. Ullman in the 1960-s, B. Ford showed in 2004 that both formalisms recognize the same class named Parsing Expression Languages (PELs). A. Birman and J. Ullman established such important properties ...

On efficient algorithms for bottleneck path problems with many sources
Kirill V. Kaymakov, Dmitry S. Malyshev, Optimization Letters 2024 Vol. 18 P. 1273–1283
For given edge-capacitated connected graph and two its vertices s and t, the bottleneck (or max min ) path problem is to find the maximum value of path-minimum edge capacities among all paths, connecting s and t. It can be generalized by finding the bottleneck values between s and all possible t. These problems arise ...

A complete complexity dichotomy of the edge-coloring problem for all sets of 8-edge forbidden subgraphs

For a given graph, the edge-coloring problem is to minimize the number of colors sufficient to color all the graph edges so that any adjacent edges receive different colors. For all classes defined by sets of forbidden subgraphs, each with 7 edges, the complexity status of this problem is known. In this paper, we obtain ...

Comparative Analysis of Logic Reasoning and Graph Neural Networks for Ontology-Mediated Query Answering with a Covering Axiom
Gerasimova O., Makarov I., Severin N., IEEE Access 2023 Vol. 11 P. 88074–88086
The problem of query answering over incomplete attributed graph data is a challenging field of database management systems and artificial intelligence. When there are rules on data structure expressed in the form of the ontology, the theoretical complexity of finding exact solution satisfying ontology constraints increases. Logic-based methods use theoretical constructions to obtain efficient rewritings ...

The discrete Fourier transform over the binary finite field
Sergei Valentinovich Fedorenko, IEEE Access 2023 Vol. 11 P. 62771–62779
The novel methods for binary discrete Fourier transform (DFT) computation over the finite field have been proposed. The methods are based on a binary trace calculation over the finite field and use the cyclotomic DFT. The direct DFT computational complexity has been reduced due to using the binary trace function over the finite field and ...

Complexity function and complexity of validity of modal and superintuitionistic propositional logics

We consider the relationship between the algorithmic properties of the validity problem for a modal or superintuitionistic propositional logic and the size of the smallest Kripke countermodels for non-theorems of the logic. We establish the existence, for every degree of unsolvability, of a propositional logic whose validity problem belongs to the degree and whose every ...

Complexity of finite-variable fragments of propositional temporal and modal logics of computation
Rybakov M., Shkatov D., Theoretical Computer Science 2022 Vol. 925 P. 45–60
We prove that branching-time temporal logics CTL and CTL* are polynomial-time embeddable into their single-variable fragments. It follows that satisfiability for CTL and CTL*, and therefore also for alternating-time temporal logics ATL and ATL*, in languages with one propositional variable is as algorithmically hard as satisfiability for the full logic: EXPTIME-complete for CTL and ATL, and 2EXPTIME-complete for CTL* and ATL*. We discuss applicability of the technique used in the proofs to other ...

An intractability result for the vertex 3-colourability problem
Malyshev D. S., Приставченко О. В., Optimization Letters 2022 Vol. 16 P. 1403–1409
The vertex 3-colourability problem is to decide whether the vertex set of a given graph can be split into three subsets of pairwise non-adjacent vertices. This problem is known to be NP-complete in a certain class of graphs, defined by an explicit description of allowed 5-vertex induced subgraphs in them. In the present paper, we improve this result by ...

We consider a computational model which is known as set automata. The set automata are one-way finite automata with additional storage-the set. There are two kinds of set automata-deterministic (DSA's) and nondeterministic (NSA's). The model was introduced by Kutrib, Malcher, Wendlandt in 2014. It was shown that DSA-recognizable languages look similar to DCFL's and NSA-recognizable ...

Traditionally, description logic has focused on represent- ing and reasoning about classes rather than relations (roles), which has been justified by the deterioration of the computa- tional properties if expressive role inclusions are added. The situation is even worse in the temporalised setting, where monodicity is viewed as an almost necessary condition for decidability. We ...

A trapdoor cipher is a cipher whose algorithm contains some hidden structure (a trapdoor) providing the existence of a subliminal information channel. In cryptographic practice, there could be situations when a constructed cipher may contain some critical defect (a trapdoor) whose identification can significantly weaken the cryptographic strength of this cipher.

The Surjective Constraint Satisfaction Problem (SCSP) is the problem of deciding whether there exists a surjective assignment to a set of variables subject to some specified constraints, where a surjective assignment is an assignment containing all elements of the domain. In this paper we show that the most famous SCSP, called No-Rainbow Problem, is NP-Hard. ...

This paper focuses on the algebraic theory underlying the study of the complexity and the algorithms for the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). We unify, simplify, and extend parts of the three approaches that have been developed to study the CSP over finite templates - absorption theory that was used to characterize CSPs solvable by local ...

The vertex 3-colourability problem is to verify whether it is possible to split the vertex set of a given graph into three subsets of pairwise nonadjacent vertices or not. This problem is known to be NP-complete for planar graphs of the maximum face length at most 4 (and, even, additionally, of the maximum vertex degree ...
