A Direct Reduction from Stochastic Parity Games to Simple Stochastic Games

Authors: Raphaël Berthon, Joost-Pieter Katoen, and Zihan Zhou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 348, 36th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2025)

Abstract
Significant progress has been recently achieved in developing efficient solutions for simple stochastic games (SSGs), focusing on reachability objectives. While reductions from stochastic parity games (SPGs) to SSGs have been presented in the literature through the use of multiple intermediate game models, a direct and simple reduction has been notably absent. This paper introduces a novel and direct polynomial-time reduction from quantitative SPGs to quantitative SSGs. By leveraging a gadget-based transformation that effectively removes the priority function, we construct an SSG that simulates the behavior of a given SPG. We formally establish the correctness of our direct reduction. Furthermore, we demonstrate that under binary encoding this reduction is polynomial, thereby directly corroborating the known NP ∩ coNP complexity of SPGs and providing new understanding in the relationship between parity and reachability objectives in turn-based stochastic games.

Elementary Elimination of Prenex Cuts in Disjunction-free Intuitionistic Logic

Authors: Matthias Baaz and Christian G. Fermüller

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 41, 24th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2015)

Abstract
The size of shortest cut-free proofs of first-order formulas in intuitionistic sequent calculus is known to be non-elementary in the worst case in terms of the size of given sequent proofs with cuts of the same formulas. In contrast to that fact, we provide an elementary bound for the size of cut-free proofs for disjunction-free intuitionistic logic for the case where the cut-formulas of the original proof are prenex. Moreover, we establish non-elementary lower bounds for classical disjunction-free proofs with prenex cut-formulas and intuitionistic disjunction-free proofs with non-prenex cut-formulas.
