Regular Model Checking for Systems with Effectively Regular Reachability Relation

Authors: Javier Esparza and Valentin Krasotin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)


Abstract
Regular model checking is a well-established technique for the verification of regular transition systems (RTS): transition systems whose initial configurations and transition relation can be effectively encoded as regular languages. In 2008, To and Libkin studied RTSs in which the reachability relation (the reflexive and transitive closure of the transition relation) is also effectively regular, and showed that the recurrent reachability problem (whether a regular set L of configurations is reached infinitely often) is polynomial in the size of RTS and the transducer for the reachability relation. We extend the work of To and Libkin by studying the decidability and complexity of verifying almost-sure reachability and recurrent reachability - that is, whether L is reachable or recurrently reachable with probability 1. We then apply our results to the more common case in which only a regular overapproximation of the reachability relation is available. In particular, we extend recent complexity results on verifying safety using regular abstraction frameworks - a technique recently introduced by Czerner, the authors, and Welzel-Mohr - to liveness and almost-sure properties.

Negated String Containment Is Decidable

Authors: Vojtěch Havlena, Michal Hečko, Lukáš Holík, and Ondřej Lengál

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)


Abstract
We provide a positive answer to a long-standing open question of the decidability of the not-contains string predicate. Not-contains is practically relevant, for instance in symbolic execution of string manipulating programs. Particularly, we show that the predicate ¬Contains(x₁ … x_n, y₁ … y_m), where x₁ … x_n and y₁ … y_m are sequences of string variables constrained by regular languages, is decidable. Decidability of a not-contains predicate combined with chain-free word equations and regular membership constraints follows.

The Equivalence Problem of E-Pattern Languages with Length Constraints Is Undecidable

Authors: Dirk Nowotka and Max Wiedenhöft

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 331, 36th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2025)


Abstract
Patterns are words with terminals and variables. The language of a pattern is the set of words obtained by uniformly substituting all variables with words that contain only terminals. Length constraints restrict valid substitutions of variables by associating the variables of a pattern with a system (or disjunction of systems) of linear diophantine inequalities. Pattern languages with length constraints contain only words in which all variables are substituted to words with lengths that fulfill such a given set of length constraints. We consider membership, inclusion, and equivalence problems for erasing and non-erasing pattern languages with length constraints. Our main result shows that the erasing equivalence problem - one of the most prominent open problems in the realm of patterns - becomes undecidable if length constraints are allowed in addition to variable equality. Additionally, it is shown that the terminal-free inclusion problem, a prominent problem which has been shown to be undecidable in the binary case for patterns without any constraints, is also generally undecidable for all larger alphabets in this setting. Finally, we also show that considering regular constraints, i.e., associating variables also with regular languages as additional restrictions together with length constraints for valid substitutions, results in undecidability of the non-erasing equivalence problem. This sets a first upper bound on constraints to obtain undecidability in this case, as this problem is trivially decidable in the case of no constraints and as it has unknown decidability if only regular or only length constraints are considered.

Concurrent Stochastic Lossy Channel Games

Authors: Daniel Stan, Muhammad Najib, Anthony Widjaja Lin, and Parosh Aziz Abdulla

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 288, 32nd EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2024)


Abstract
Concurrent stochastic games are an important formalism for the rational verification of probabilistic multi-agent systems, which involves verifying whether a temporal logic property is satisfied in some or all game-theoretic equilibria of such systems. In this work, we study the rational verification of probabilistic multi-agent systems where agents can cooperate by communicating over unbounded lossy channels. To model such systems, we present concurrent stochastic lossy channel games (CSLCG) and employ an equilibrium concept from cooperative game theory known as the core, which is the most fundamental and widely studied cooperative equilibrium concept. Our main contribution is twofold. First, we show that the rational verification problem is undecidable for systems whose agents have almost-sure LTL objectives. Second, we provide a decidable fragment of such a class of objectives that subsumes almost-sure reachability and safety. Our techniques involve reductions to solving infinite-state zero-sum games with conjunctions of qualitative objectives. To the best of our knowledge, our result represents the first decidability result on the rational verification of stochastic multi-agent systems on infinite arenas.

Accelerating tree-automatic relations

Authors: Anthony Widjaja Lin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 18, IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2012)


Abstract
We study the problem of computing the transitive closure of tree-automatic (binary) relations, which are represented by tree automata. Such relations include classes of infinite systems generated by pushdown systems (PDS), ground tree rewrite systems (GTRS), PA-processes, and Turing machines, to name a few. Although this problem is unsolvable in general, we provide a semi-algorithm for the problem and prove completeness guarantee for PDS, GTRS, and PA-processes. The semi-algorithm is an extension of a known semi-algorithm for structure-preserving tree-automatic relations, for which completeness is guaranteed for several interesting parameterized systems over tree topology. Hence, there is a single generic procedure that solves reachability for PDS, GTRS, PA-processes, and several parameterized systems in a uniform way. As an application, we provide a single generic semi-algorithm for checking repeated reachability over tree-automatic relations, for which completeness is guaranteed for the aforementioned classes.

Concurrency Makes Simple Theories Hard

Authors: Stefan Göller and Anthony Widjaja Lin

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 14, 29th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2012)


Abstract
A standard way of building concurrent systems is by composing several individual processes by product operators. We show that even the simplest notion of product operators (i.e. asynchronous products) suffices to increase the complexity of model checking simple logics like Hennessy-Milner (HM) logic and its extension with the reachability operator (EF-logic) from PSPACE to nonelementary. In particular, this nonelementary jump happens for EF-logic when we consider individual processes represented by pushdown systems (indeed, even with only one control state). Using this result, we prove nonelementary lower bounds on the size of formula decompositions provided by Feferman-Vaught (de)compositional methods for HM and EF logics, which reduce theories of asynchronous products to theories of the components. Finally, we show that the same nonelementary lower bounds also hold when we consider the relativization of such compositional methods to finite systems.
