Polynomial Complementation of Nondeterministic Two-Way Finite Automata by 1-Limited Automata

Authors: Bruno Guillon, Luca Prigioniero, and Javad Taheri

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 364, 43rd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2026)


Abstract
We prove that, paying a polynomial increase in size only, every unrestricted two-way nondeterministic finite automaton (2NFA) can be complemented by a 1-limited automaton (1-LA), a nondeterministic extension of 2NFAs still characterizing regular languages. The resulting machine is actually a restricted form of 1-LAs - known as 2NFAs with common guess - and is self-verifying. A corollary of our construction is that a single exponential is necessary and sufficient for complementing 1-LAs.

Generalised Quantifiers Based on Rabin-Mostowski Index

Authors: Denis Kuperberg, Damian Niwiński, Paweł Parys, and Michał Skrzypczak

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 364, 43rd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2026)


Abstract
In this work we introduce new generalised quantifiers which allow us to express the Rabin-Mostowski index of automata. Our main results study expressive power and decidability of the monadic second-order (MSO) logic extended with these quantifiers. We study these problems in the realm of both ω-words and infinite trees. As it turns out, the pictures in these two cases are very different. In the case of ω-words the new quantifiers can be effectively expressed in pure MSO logic. In contrast, in the case of infinite trees, addition of these quantifiers leads to an undecidable formalism. To realise index-quantifier elimination, we consider the extension of MSO by game quantifiers. As a tool, we provide a specific quantifier-elimination procedure for them. Moreover, we introduce a novel construction of transducers realising strategies in ω-regular games with monadic parameters.

Minimality and Computability of Languages of G-Shifts

Authors: Djamel Eddine Amir and Benjamin Hellouin de Menibus

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)


Abstract
Motivated by the notion of strong computable type for sets in computable analysis, we define the notion of strong computable type for G-shifts, where G is a finitely generated group with decidable word problem. A G-shift has strong computable type if one can compute its language from the complement of its language. We obtain a characterization of G-shifts with strong computable type in terms of a notion of minimality with respect to properties with a bounded computational complexity. We provide a self-contained direct proof, and also explain how this characterization can be obtained from an existing similar characterization for sets by Amir and Hoyrup, and discuss its connexions with results by Jeandel on closure spaces. We apply this characterization to several classes of shifts that are minimal with respect to specific properties. This provides a unifying approach that not only generalizes many existing results but also has the potential to yield new findings effortlessly. In contrast to the case of sets, we prove that strong computable type for G-shifts is preserved under products. We conclude by discussing some generalizations and future directions.

Computability of Extender Sets in Multidimensional Subshifts

Authors: Antonin Callard, Léo Paviet Salomon, and Pascal Vanier

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)


Abstract
Subshifts are sets of colorings of ℤ^d defined by families of forbidden patterns. Given a subshift and a finite pattern, its extender set is the set of admissible completions of this pattern. It has been conjectured that the behavior of extender sets, and in particular their growth called extender entropy [French and Pavlov, 2019], could provide a way to separate the classes of sofic and effective subshifts. We prove here that both classes have the same possible extender entropies: exactly the Π₃ real numbers of [0,+∞).

Subshifts Defined by Nondeterministic and Alternating Plane-Walking Automata

Authors: Benjamin Hellouin de Menibus and Pacôme Perrotin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)


Abstract
Plane-walking automata were introduced by Salo & Törma to recognise languages of two-dimensional infinite words (subshifts), the counterpart of 4-way finite automata for two-dimensional finite words. We extend the model to allow for nondeterminism and alternation of quantifiers. We prove that the recognised subshifts form a strict subclass of sofic subshifts, and that the classes corresponding to existential and universal nondeterminism are incomparable and both larger that the deterministic class. We define a hierarchy of subshifts recognised by plane-walking automata with alternating quantifiers, which we conjecture to be strict.

CMSO-Transducing Tree-Like Graph Decompositions

Authors: Rutger Campbell, Bruno Guillon, Mamadou Moustapha Kanté, Eun Jung Kim, and Noleen Köhler

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 327, 42nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2025)


Abstract
We show that given a graph G we can CMSO-transduce its modular decomposition, its split decomposition and its bi-join decomposition. This improves results by Courcelle [Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2006] who gave such transductions using order-invariant MSO, a strictly more expressive logic than CMSO. Our methods more generally yield C_{2}MSO-transductions of the canonical decomposition of weakly-partitive set systems and weakly-bipartitive systems of bipartitions.

Resource-Bounded Kolmogorov Complexity Provides an Obstacle to Soficness of Multidimensional Shifts

Authors: Julien Destombes and Andrei Romashchenko

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 126, 36th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2019)


Abstract
We suggest necessary conditions of soficness of multidimensional shifts formulated in terms of resource-bounded Kolmogorov complexity. Using this technique we provide examples of effective and non-sofic shifts on Z^2 with very low block complexity: the number of globally admissible patterns of size n x n grows only as a polynomial in n.

Which Classes of Origin Graphs Are Generated by Transducers

Authors: Mikolaj Bojanczyk, Laure Daviaud, Bruno Guillon, and Vincent Penelle

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 80, 44th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2017)


Abstract
We study various models of transducers equipped with origin information. We consider the semantics of these models as particular graphs, called origin graphs, and we characterise the families of such graphs recognised by streaming string transducers.
