Powerset-Like Monads Weakly Distribute over Themselves in Toposes and Compact Hausdorff Spaces

Authors: Alexandre Goy, Daniela Petrişan, and Marc Aiguier

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 198, 48th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2021)


Abstract
The powerset monad on the category of sets does not distribute over itself. Nevertheless a weaker form of distributive law of the powerset monad over itself exists and it essentially stems from the canonical Egli-Milner extension of the powerset to the category of relations. On the other hand, any regular category yields a category of relations, and some regular categories also possess a powerset-like monad, as is the Vietoris monad on compact Hausdorff spaces. We derive the Egli-Milner extension in three different frameworks : sets, toposes, and compact Hausdorff spaces. We prove that it corresponds to a monotone weak distributive law in each case by showing that the multiplication extends to relations but the unit does not. We provide an application to coalgebraic determinization of alternating automata.

Learning Automata and Transducers: A Categorical Approach

Authors: Thomas Colcombet, Daniela Petrişan, and Riccardo Stabile

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 183, 29th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2021)


Abstract
In this paper, we present a categorical approach to learning automata over words, in the sense of the L*-algorithm of Angluin. This yields a new generic L*-like algorithm which can be instantiated for learning deterministic automata, automata weighted over fields, as well as subsequential transducers. The generic nature of our algorithm is obtained by adopting an approach in which automata are simply functors from a particular category representing words to a "computation category". We establish that the sufficient properties for yielding the existence of minimal automata (that were disclosed in a previous paper), in combination with some additional hypotheses relative to termination, ensure the correctness of our generic algorithm.

Up-To Techniques for Behavioural Metrics via Fibrations

Authors: Filippo Bonchi, Barbara König, and Daniela Petrisan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 118, 29th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2018)


Abstract
Up-to techniques are a well-known method for enhancing coinductive proofs of behavioural equivalences. We introduce up-to techniques for behavioural metrics between systems modelled as coalgebras and we provide abstract results to prove their soundness in a compositional way. In order to obtain a general framework, we need a systematic way to lift functors: we show that the Wasserstein lifting of a functor, introduced in a previous work, corresponds to a change of base in a fibrational sense. This observation enables us to reuse existing results about soundness of up-to techniques in a fibrational setting. We focus on the fibrations of predicates and relations valued in a quantale, for which pseudo-metric spaces are an example. To illustrate our approach we provide an example on distances between regular languages.

Automata in the Category of Glued Vector Spaces

Authors: Thomas Colcombet and Daniela Petrisan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 83, 42nd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2017)


Abstract
In this paper we adopt a category-theoretic approach to the conception of automata classes enjoying minimization by design. The main instantiation of our construction is a new class of automata that are hybrid between deterministic automata and automata weighted over a field.

Automata Minimization: a Functorial Approach

Authors: Thomas Colcombet and Daniela Petrisan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 72, 7th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2017)


Abstract
In this paper we regard languages and their acceptors - such as deterministic or weighted automata, transducers, or monoids - as functors from input categories that specify the type of the languages and of the machines to categories that specify the type of outputs. Our results are as follows: a) We provide sufficient conditions on the output category so that minimization of the corresponding automata is guaranteed. b) We show how to lift adjunctions between the categories for output values to adjunctions between categories of automata. c) We show how this framework can be applied to several phenomena in automata theory, starting with determinization and minimization (previously studied from a coalgebraic and duality theoretic perspective). We apply in particular these techniques to Choffrut's minimization algorithm for subsequential transducers and revisit Brzozowski's minimization algorithm.

The Schützenberger Product for Syntactic Spaces

Authors: Mai Gehrke, Daniela Petrisan, and Luca Reggio

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 55, 43rd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2016)


Abstract
Starting from Boolean algebras of languages closed under quotients and using duality theoretic insights, we derive the notion of Boolean spaces with internal monoids as recognisers for arbitrary formal languages of finite words over finite alphabets. This leads to recognisers and syntactic spaces in a setting that is well-suited for applying tools from Stone duality as applied in semantics. The main focus of the paper is the development of topo-algebraic constructions pertinent to the treatment of languages given by logic formulas. In particular, using the standard semantic view of quantification as projection, we derive a notion of Schützenberger product for Boolean spaces with internal monoids. This makes heavy use of the Vietoris construction - and its dual functor - which is central to the coalgebraic treatment of classical modal logic. We show that the unary Schützenberger product for spaces yields a recogniser for the language of all models of the formula EXISTS x.phi(x), when applied to a recogniser for the language of all models of phi(x). Further, we generalise global and local versions of the theorems of Schützenberger and Reutenauer characterising the languages recognised by the binary Schützenberger product. Finally, we provide an equational characterisation of Boolean algebras obtained by local Schützenberger product with the one element space based on an Egli-Milner type condition on generalised factorisations of ultrafilters on words.

Approximation of Nested Fixpoints – A Coalgebraic View of Parametric Dataypes

Authors: Alexander Kurz, Alberto Pardo, Daniela Petrisan, Paula Severi, and Fer-Jan de Vries

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 35, 6th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2015)


Abstract
The question addressed in this paper is how to correctly approximate infinite data given by systems of simultaneous corecursive definitions. We devise a categorical framework for reasoning about regular datatypes, that is, datatypes closed under products, coproducts and fixpoints. We argue that the right methodology is on one hand coalgebraic (to deal with possible nontermination and infinite data) and on the other hand 2-categorical (to deal with parameters in a disciplined manner). We prove a coalgebraic version of Bekic lemma that allows us to reduce simultaneous fixpoints to a single fix point. Thus a possibly infinite object of interest is regarded as a final coalgebra of a many-sorted polynomial functor and can be seen as a limit of finite approximants. As an application, we prove correctness of a generic function that calculates the approximants on a large class of data types.

Leaving the Nest: Nominal Techniques for Variables with Interleaving Scopes

Authors: Murdoch J. Gabbay, Dan R. Ghica, and Daniela Petrisan

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


Abstract
We examine the key syntactic and semantic aspects of a nominal framework allowing scopes of name bindings to be arbitrarily interleaved. Name binding (e.g. delta x.M) is handled by explicit name-creation and name-destruction brackets (e.g. <delta x M x>) which admit interleaving. We define an appropriate notion of alpha-equivalence for such a language and study the syntactic structure required for alpha-equivalence to be a congruence. We develop denotational and categorical semantics for dynamic binding and provide a generalised nominal inductive reasoning principle. We give several standard synthetic examples of working with dynamic sequences (e.g. substitution) and we sketch out some preliminary applications to game semantics and trace semantics.

Lax Bialgebras and Up-To Techniques for Weak Bisimulations

Authors: Filippo Bonchi, Daniela Petrisan, Damien Pous, and Jurriaan Rot

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 42, 26th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2015)


Abstract
Up-to techniques are useful tools for optimising proofs of behavioural equivalence of processes. Bisimulations up-to context can be safely used in any language specified by GSOS rules. We showed this result in a previous paper by exploiting the well-known observation by Turi and Plotkin that such languages form bialgebras. In this paper, we prove the soundness of up-to contextual closure for weak bisimulations of systems specified by cool rule formats, as defined by Bloom to ensure congruence of weak bisimilarity. However, the weak transition systems obtained from such cool rules give rise to lax bialgebras, rather than to bialgebras. Hence, to reach our goal, we extend our previously developed categorical framework to an ordered setting.
