Parametric Disjunctive Timed Networks

Authors: Étienne André, Swen Jacobs, and Engel Lefaucheux

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 363, 34th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2026)

Abstract
We consider distributed systems with an arbitrary number of processes, modelled by timed automata that communicate through location guards: a process can take a guarded transition if at least one other process is in a given location. In this work, we introduce parametric disjunctive timed networks, where each timed automaton may contain timing parameters, i.e., unknown constants. We investigate two problems: deciding the emptiness of the set of parameter valuations for which 1) a given location is reachable for at least one process (local property), and 2) a global state is reachable where all processes are in a given location (global property). Our main positive result is that the first problem is decidable for networks of processes with a single clock and without invariants; this result holds for arbitrarily many timing parameters - a setting with few known decidability results. However, it becomes undecidable when invariants are allowed, or when considering global properties, even for systems with a single parameter. This highlights the significant expressive power of invariants in these networks. Additionally, we exhibit further decidable subclasses by restraining the syntax of guards and invariants.

Parameterized Verification of Timed Networks with Clock Invariants

Authors: Étienne André, Swen Jacobs, Shyam Lal Karra, and Ocan Sankur

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 360, 45th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2025)

Abstract
We consider parameterized verification problems for networks of timed automata (TAs) based on different communication primitives. To this end, we first consider disjunctive timed networks (DTNs), i.e., networks of TAs that communicate via location guards that enable a transition only if there is another process in a certain location. We solve for the first time the case with unrestricted clock invariants, and establish that the parameterized model checking problem (PMCP) over finite local traces can be reduced to the corresponding model checking problem on a single TA. Moreover, we prove that the PMCP for networks that communicate via lossy broadcast can be reduced to the PMCP for DTNs. Finally, we show that for networks with k-wise synchronization, and therefore also for timed Petri nets, location reachability can be reduced to location reachability in DTNs. As a consequence we can answer positively the open problem from Abdulla et al. (2018) whether the universal safety problem for timed Petri nets with multiple clocks is decidable.

Fast Computation of k-Runs, Parameterized Squares, and Other Generalised Squares

Authors: Yuto Nakashima, Jakub Radoszewski, and Tomasz Waleń

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
A k-mismatch square is a string of the form XY where X and Y are two equal-length strings that have at most k mismatches. Kolpakov and Kucherov [Theor. Comput. Sci., 2003] defined two notions of k-mismatch repeats, called k-repetitions and k-runs, each representing a sequence of consecutive k-mismatch squares of equal length. They proposed algorithms for computing k-repetitions and k-runs working in 𝒪(nklog k+output) time for a string of length n over an integer alphabet, where output is the number of the reported repeats. We show that output = 𝒪(nk log k), both in case of k-repetitions and k-runs, which implies that the complexity of their algorithms is actually 𝒪(nk log k). We apply this result to computing parameterized squares. A parameterized square is a string of the form XY such that X and Y parameterized-match, i.e., there exists a bijection f on the alphabet such that f(X) = Y. Two parameterized squares XY and X'Y' are equivalent if they parameterized match. Recently Hamai et al. [SPIRE 2024] showed that a string of length n over an alphabet of size σ contains less than nσ non-equivalent parameterized squares, improving an earlier bound by Kociumaka et al. [Theor. Comput. Sci., 2016]. We apply our bound for k-mismatch repeats to propose an algorithm that reports all non-equivalent parameterized squares in 𝒪(nσ log σ) time. We also show that the number of non-equivalent parameterized squares can be computed in 𝒪(n log n) time. This last algorithm applies to squares under any substring compatible equivalence relation and also to counting squares that are distinct as strings. In particular, this improves upon the 𝒪(nσ)-time algorithm of Gawrychowski et al. [CPM 2023] for counting order-preserving squares that are distinct as strings if σ = ω(log n).

Consistency for Parametric Interval Markov Chains

Authors: Benoît Delahaye

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 44, 2nd International Workshop on Synthesis of Complex Parameters (SynCoP'15) (2015)

Abstract
Interval Markov Chains (IMCs) are the base of a classic probabilistic specification theory by Larsen and Jonsson in 1991. They are also a popular abstraction for probabilistic systems. In this paper we introduce and study an extension of Interval Markov Chains with parametric intervals. In particular, we investigate the consistency problem for such models and propose an efficient solution for the subclass of parametric IMCs with local parameters only. We also show that this problem is still decidable for parametric IMCs with global parameters, although more complex in this case.
