The Big-O Problem for Labelled Markov Chains and Weighted Automata

Authors: Dmitry Chistikov, Stefan Kiefer, Andrzej S. Murawski, and David Purser

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 171, 31st International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2020)

Abstract
Given two weighted automata, we consider the problem of whether one is big-O of the other, i.e., if the weight of every finite word in the first is not greater than some constant multiple of the weight in the second. We show that the problem is undecidable, even for the instantiation of weighted automata as labelled Markov chains. Moreover, even when it is known that one weighted automaton is big-O of another, the problem of finding or approximating the associated constant is also undecidable. Our positive results show that the big-O problem is polynomial-time solvable for unambiguous automata, coNP-complete for unlabelled weighted automata (i.e., when the alphabet is a single character) and decidable, subject to Schanuel’s conjecture, when the language is bounded (i.e., a subset of w_1^* … w_m^* for some finite words w_1,… ,w_m). On labelled Markov chains, the problem can be restated as a ratio total variation distance, which, instead of finding the maximum difference between the probabilities of any two events, finds the maximum ratio between the probabilities of any two events. The problem is related to ε-differential privacy, for which the optimal constant of the big-O notation is exactly exp(ε).

On the Expressivity of Linear Recursion Schemes

Authors: Pierre Clairambault and Andrzej S. Murawski

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 138, 44th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2019)

Abstract
We investigate the expressive power of higher-order recursion schemes (HORS) restricted to linear types. Two formalisms are considered: multiplicative additive HORS (MAHORS), which feature both linear function types and products, and multiplicative HORS (MHORS), based on linear function types only. For MAHORS, we establish an equi-expressivity result with a variant of tree-stack automata. Consequently, we can show that MAHORS are strictly more expressive than first-order HORS, that they are incomparable with second-order HORS, and that the associated branch languages lie at the third level of the collapsible pushdown hierarchy. In the multiplicative case, we show that MHORS are equivalent to a special kind of pushdown automata. It follows that any MHORS can be translated to an equivalent first-order MHORS in polynomial time. Further, we show that MHORS generate regular trees and can be translated to equivalent order-0 HORS in exponential time. Consequently, MHORS turn out to have the same expressive power as 0-HORS but they can be exponentially more concise. Our results are obtained through a combination of techniques from game semantics, the geometry of interaction and automata theory.

Asymmetric Distances for Approximate Differential Privacy

Authors: Dmitry Chistikov, Andrzej S. Murawski, and David Purser

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 140, 30th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2019)

Abstract
Differential privacy is a widely studied notion of privacy for various models of computation, based on measuring differences between probability distributions. We consider (epsilon,delta)-differential privacy in the setting of labelled Markov chains. For a given epsilon, the parameter delta can be captured by a variant of the total variation distance, which we call lv_{alpha} (where alpha = e^{epsilon}). First we study lv_{alpha} directly, showing that it cannot be computed exactly. However, the associated approximation problem turns out to be in PSPACE and #P-hard. Next we introduce a new bisimilarity distance for bounding lv_{alpha} from above, which provides a tighter bound than previously known distances while remaining computable with the same complexity (polynomial time with an NP oracle). We also propose an alternative bound that can be computed in polynomial time. Finally, we illustrate the distances on case studies.

Polynomial-Time Equivalence Testing for Deterministic Fresh-Register Automata

Authors: Andrzej S. Murawski, Steven J. Ramsay, and Nikos Tzevelekos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 117, 43rd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2018)

Abstract
Register automata are one of the most studied automata models over infinite alphabets. The complexity of language equivalence for register automata is quite subtle. In general, the problem is undecidable but, in the deterministic case, it is known to be decidable and in NP. Here we propose a polynomial-time algorithm building upon automata- and group-theoretic techniques. The algorithm is applicable to standard register automata with a fixed number of registers as well as their variants with a variable number of registers and ability to generate fresh data values (fresh-register automata). To complement our findings, we also investigate the associated inclusion problem and show that it is PSPACE-complete.

Higher-Order Linearisability

Authors: Andrzej S. Murawski and Nikos Tzevelekos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 85, 28th International Conference on Concurrency Theory (CONCUR 2017)

Abstract
Linearisability is a central notion for verifying concurrent libraries: a library is proven correct if its operational history can be rearranged into a sequential one that satisfies a given specification. Until now, linearisability has been examined for libraries in which method arguments and method results were of ground type. In this paper we extend linearisability to the general higher-order setting, where methods of arbitrary type can be passed as arguments and returned as values, and establish its soundness.

Böhm Trees as Higher-Order Recursive Schemes

Authors: Pierre Clairambault and Andrzej S. Murawski

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 24, IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2013)

Abstract
Higher-order recursive schemes (HORS) are schematic representations of functional programs. They generate possibly infinite ranked labelled trees and, in that respect, are known to be equivalent to a restricted fragment of the lambda-Y-calculus consisting of ground-type terms whose free variables have types of the form o -> ... -> o (with o being a special case). In this paper, we show that any lambda-Y-term (with no restrictions on term type or the types of free variables) can actually be represented by a HORS. More precisely, for any lambda-Y-term M, there exists a HORS generating a tree that faithfully represents M's (eta-long) Böhm tree. In particular, the HORS captures higher-order binding information contained in the Böhm tree. An analogous result holds for finitary PCF. As a consequence, we can reduce a variety of problems related to the lambda-Y-calculus or finitary PCF to problems concerning higher-order recursive schemes. For instance, Böhm tree equivalence can be reduced to the equivalence problem for HORS. Our results also enable MSO model-checking of Böhm trees, despite the general undecidability of the problem.

10252 Executive Summary – Game Semantics and Program Verification

Authors: Paul-Andre Mellies, Andrzej S. Murawski, Andrea Schalk, and Igor Walukiewicz

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10252, Game Semantics and Program Verification (2010)

Abstract
The seminar took place from 20th until 25th June 2010. Its primary aim was to foster interaction between researchers working on modelling programs/proofs using games and the verification community. The meeting brought together 28 researchers from eight different countries, both junior and senior, for a systematic assessment of what the two areas have to offer to one another, critical evaluation of what has been achieved so far, with a view to establishing common research goals for the future.

Program Equivalence (Dagstuhl Seminar 18151)

Authors: Shuvendu K. Lahiri, Andrzej Murawski, Ofer Strichman, and Mattias Ulbrich

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4 (2018)

Abstract
Program equivalence is the problem of proving that two programs are equal under some definition of equivalence, e.g., input-output equivalence. The field draws researchers from formal verification, semantics and logics. This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 18151 "Program Equivalence". The seminar was organized by the four official organizers mentioned above, and Dr. Nikos Tzevelekos from Queen-Mary University in London.
