Unboundedness Problems for Formal Languages (Invited Talk)

Authors: Georg Zetzsche

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

Abstract
Informally, unboundedness problems are decision problems that ask about the existence of infinitely many words (satisfying certain properties) in a formal language. For example: Is a given language infinite? Or: Does a given language have super-polynomial growth? These came into focus in recent years because of their connections to downward closure computation and separability problems. Although unboundedness problems may seem difficult at first, it turns out that there are techniques that are at the same time conceptually very simple, but also apply to a surprisingly wide variety of language classes. The talk will survey recent results (and techniques) concerning unboundedness problems.

Learning Aggregate Queries Defined by First-Order Logic with Counting

Authors: Steffen van Bergerem and Nicole Schweikardt

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 328, 28th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2025)

Abstract
In the logical framework introduced by Grohe and Turán (TOCS 2004) for Boolean classification problems, the instances to classify are tuples from a logical structure, and Boolean classifiers are described by parametric models based on logical formulas. This is a specific scenario for supervised passive learning, where classifiers should be learned based on labelled examples. Existing results in this scenario focus on Boolean classification. This paper presents learnability results beyond Boolean classification. We focus on multiclass classification problems where the task is to assign input tuples to arbitrary integers. To represent such integer-valued classifiers, we use aggregate queries specified by an extension of first-order logic with counting terms called FOC₁. Our main result shows the following: given a database of polylogarithmic degree, within quasi-linear time, we can build an index structure that makes it possible to learn FOC₁-definable integer-valued classifiers in time polylogarithmic in the size of the database and polynomial in the number of training examples.

Reachability in Concurrent Uninterpreted Programs

Authors: Salvatore La Torre and Madhusudan Parthasarathy

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 150, 39th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2019)

Abstract
We study the safety verification (reachability problem) for concurrent programs with uninterpreted functions/relations. By extending the notion of coherence, recently identified for sequential programs, to concurrent programs, we show that reachability in coherent concurrent programs under various scheduling restrictions is decidable by a reduction to multistack pushdown automata, and establish precise complexity bounds for them. We also prove that the coherence restriction for these various scheduling restrictions is itself a decidable property.

Lagrange's Theorem for Binary Squares

Authors: P. Madhusudan, Dirk Nowotka, Aayush Rajasekaran, and Jeffrey Shallit

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

Abstract
We show how to prove theorems in additive number theory using a decision procedure based on finite automata. Among other things, we obtain the following analogue of Lagrange's theorem: every natural number > 686 is the sum of at most 4 natural numbers whose canonical base-2 representation is a binary square, that is, a string of the form xx for some block of bits x. Here the number 4 is optimal. While we cannot embed this theorem itself in a decidable theory, we show that stronger lemmas that imply the theorem can be embedded in decidable theories, and show how automated methods can be used to search for these stronger lemmas.

Automated Reasoning and Natural Proofs for Programs Manipulating Data Structures

Authors: Madhusudan Parthasarathy

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

Abstract
We consider the problem of automatically verifying programs that manipulate a dynamic heap, maintaining complex and multiple data-structures, given modular pre-post conditions and loop invariants. We discuss specification logics for heaps, and discuss two classes of automatic procedures for reasoning with these logics. The first identifies fragments of logics that admit completely decidable reasoning. The second is a new approach called the natural proof method that builds proof procedures for very expressive logics that are automatic and sound (but incomplete), and that embody natural proof tactics learnt from manual verification.

Synthesizing Reactive Programs

Authors: Parthasarathy Madhusudan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 12, Computer Science Logic (CSL'11) - 25th International Workshop/20th Annual Conference of the EACSL (2011)

Abstract
Current theoretical solutions to the classical Church's synthesis problem are focused on synthesizing transition systems and not programs. Programs are compact and often the true aim in many synthesis problems, while the transition systems that correspond to them are often large and not very useful as synthesized artefacts. Consequently, current practical techniques first synthesize a transition system, and then extract a more compact representation from it. We reformulate the synthesis of reactive systems directly in terms of program synthesis, and develop a theory to show that the problem of synthesizing programs over a fixed set of Boolean variables in a simple imperative programming language is decidable for regular omega-specifications. We also present results for synthesizing programs with recursion against both regular specifications as well as visibly-pushdown language specifications. Finally, we show applications to program repair, and conclude with open problems in synthesizing distributed programs.
