text: The competition for resources among cells, individuals or species is a fundamental
characteristic of evolution. Biological all-pay auctions have been used to model
situations where multiple individuals compete for a single resource. However,
in many situations multiple resources with various values exist and single reward
auctions are not applicable. We generalize the model to multiple rewards and study
the evolution of strategies. In biological all-pay auctions the bid of an individual
corresponds to its strategy and is equivalent to its payment in the auction. The
decreasingly ordered rewards are distributed according to the decreasingly ordered
bids of the participating individuals. The reproductive success of an individual
is proportional to its fitness given by the sum of the rewards won minus its payments.
Hence, successful bidding strategies spread in the population. We find that the
results for the multiple reward case are very different from the single reward
case. While the mixed strategy equilibrium in the single reward case with more
than two players consists of mostly low-bidding individuals, we show that the
equilibrium can convert to many high-bidding individuals and a few low-bidding
individuals in the multiple reward case. Some reward values lead to a specialization
among the individuals where one subpopulation competes for the rewards and the
other subpopulation largely avoids costly competitions. Whether the mixed strategy
equilibrium is an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) depends on the specific
values of the rewards.

text: Cancer results from an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Sequentially
accumulated genetic and epigenetic alterations decrease cell death and increase
cell replication. We used mathematical models to quantify the effect of driver
gene mutations. The recently developed targeted therapies can lead to dramatic
regressions. However, in solid cancers, clinical responses are often short-lived
because resistant cancer cells evolve. We estimated that approximately 50 different
mutations can confer resistance to a typical targeted therapeutic agent. We find
that resistant cells are likely to be present in expanded subclones before the
start of the treatment. The dominant strategy to prevent the evolution of resistance
is combination therapy. Our analytical results suggest that in most patients,
dual therapy, but not monotherapy, can result in long-term disease control. However,
long-term control can only occur if there are no possible mutations in the genome
that can cause cross-resistance to both drugs. Furthermore, we showed that simultaneous
therapy with two drugs is much more likely to result in long-term disease control
than sequential therapy with the same drugs. To improve our understanding of the
underlying subclonal evolution we reconstruct the evolutionary history of a patient's
cancer from next-generation sequencing data of spatially-distinct DNA samples.
Using a quantitative measure of genetic relatedness, we found that pancreatic
cancers and their metastases demonstrated a higher level of relatedness than that
expected for any two cells randomly taken from a normal tissue. This minimal amount
of genetic divergence among advanced lesions indicates that genetic heterogeneity,
when quantitatively defined, is not a fundamental feature of the natural history
of untreated pancreatic cancers. Our newly developed, phylogenomic tool Treeomics
finds evidence for seeding patterns of metastases and can directly be used to
discover rules governing the evolution of solid malignancies to transform cancer
into a more predictable disease.

text: We extend the theory of input-output conformance with operators for merge
and quotient. The former is useful when testing against multiple requirements
or views. The latter can be used to generate tests for patches of an already tested
system. Both operators can combine systems with different action alphabets, which
is usually the case when constructing complex systems and specifications from
parts, for instance different views as well as newly defined functionality of
a~previous version of the system.

text: 'We consider Markov decision processes (MDPs) which are a standard model for
probabilistic systems. We focus on qualitative properties for MDPs that can express
that desired behaviors of the system arise almost-surely (with probability 1)
or with positive probability. We introduce a new simulation relation to capture
the refinement relation of MDPs with respect to qualitative properties, and present
discrete graph algorithms with quadratic complexity to compute the simulation
relation. We present an automated technique for assume-guarantee style reasoning
for compositional analysis of two-player games by giving a counterexample guided
abstraction-refinement approach to compute our new simulation relation. We show
a tight link between two-player games and MDPs, and as a consequence the results
for games are lifted to MDPs with qualitative properties. We have implemented
our algorithms and show that the compositional analysis leads to significant improvements. '

text: Interprocedural analysis is at the heart of numerous applications in programming
languages, such as alias analysis, constant propagation, etc. Recursive state
machines (RSMs) are standard models for interprocedural analysis. We consider
a general framework with RSMs where the transitions are labeled from a semiring,
and path properties are algebraic with semiring operations. RSMs with algebraic
path properties can model interprocedural dataflow analysis problems, the shortest
path problem, the most probable path problem, etc. The traditional algorithms
for interprocedural analysis focus on path properties where the starting point
is fixed as the entry point of a specific method. In this work, we consider possible
multiple queries as required in many applications such as in alias analysis. The
study of multiple queries allows us to bring in a very important algorithmic distinction
between the resource usage of the one-time preprocessing vs for each individual
query. The second aspect that we consider is that the control flow graphs for
most programs have constant treewidth. Our main contributions are simple and implementable
algorithms that supportmultiple queries for algebraic path properties for RSMs
that have constant treewidth. Our theoretical results show that our algorithms
have small additional one-time preprocessing, but can answer subsequent queries
significantly faster as compared to the current best-known solutions for several
important problems, such as interprocedural reachability and shortest path. We
provide a prototype implementation for interprocedural reachability and intraprocedural
shortest path that gives a significant speed-up on several benchmarks.

text: We consider the quantitative analysis problem for interprocedural control-flow
graphs (ICFGs). The input consists of an ICFG, a positive weight function that
assigns every transition a positive integer-valued number, and a labelling of
the transitions (events) as good, bad, and neutral events. The weight function
assigns to each transition a numerical value that represents ameasure of how good
or bad an event is. The quantitative analysis problem asks whether there is a
run of the ICFG where the ratio of the sum of the numerical weights of good events
versus the sum of weights of bad events in the long-run is at least a given threshold
(or equivalently, to compute the maximal ratio among all valid paths in the ICFG).
The quantitative analysis problem for ICFGs can be solved in polynomial time,
and we present an efficient and practical algorithm for the problem. We show that
several problems relevant for static program analysis, such as estimating the
worst-case execution time of a program or the average energy consumption of a
mobile application, can be modeled in our framework. We have implemented our algorithm
as a tool in the Java Soot framework. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our
approach with two case studies. First, we show that our framework provides a sound
approach (no false positives) for the analysis of inefficiently-used containers.
Second, we show that our approach can also be used for static profiling of programs
which reasons about methods that are frequently invoked. Our experimental results
show that our tool scales to relatively large benchmarks, and discovers relevant
and useful information that can be used to optimize performance of the programs.

text: We consider the core algorithmic problems related to verification of systems
with respect to three classical quantitative properties, namely, the mean-payoff
property, the ratio property, and the minimum initial credit for energy property.
The algorithmic problem given a graph and a quantitative property asks to compute
the optimal value (the infimum value over all traces) from every node of the graph.
We consider graphs with constant treewidth, and it is well-known that the control-flow
graphs of most programs have constant treewidth. Let n denote the number of nodes
of a graph, m the number of edges (for constant treewidth graphs m=O(n)) and W
the largest absolute value of the weights. Our main theoretical results are as
follows. First, for constant treewidth graphs we present an algorithm that approximates
the mean-payoff value within a multiplicative factor of ϵ in time O(n⋅log(n/ϵ))
and linear space, as compared to the classical algorithms that require quadratic
time. Second, for the ratio property we present an algorithm that for constant
treewidth graphs works in time O(n⋅log(|a⋅b|))=O(n⋅log(n⋅W)), when the output
is ab, as compared to the previously best known algorithm with running time O(n2⋅log(n⋅W)).
Third, for the minimum initial credit problem we show that (i) for general graphs
the problem can be solved in O(n2⋅m) time and the associated decision problem
can be solved in O(n⋅m) time, improving the previous known O(n3⋅m⋅log(n⋅W)) and
O(n2⋅m) bounds, respectively; and (ii) for constant treewidth graphs we present
an algorithm that requires O(n⋅logn) time, improving the previous known O(n4⋅log(n⋅W))
bound. We have implemented some of our algorithms and show that they present a
significant speedup on standard benchmarks.

text: 'We present a flexible framework for the automated competitive analysis of
on-line scheduling algorithms for firm-deadline real-time tasks based on multi-objective
graphs: Given a task set and an on-line scheduling algorithm specified as a labeled
transition system, along with some optional safety, liveness, and/or limit-average
constraints for the adversary, we automatically compute the competitive ratio
of the algorithm w.r.t. A clairvoyant scheduler. We demonstrate the flexibility
and power of our approach by comparing the competitive ratio of several on-line
algorithms, including Dover, that have been proposed in the past, for various
task sets. Our experimental results reveal that none of these algorithms is universally
optimal, in the sense that there are task sets where other schedulers provide
better performance. Our framework is hence a very useful design tool for selecting
optimal algorithms for a given application.'

text: We study algorithmic questions for concurrent systems where the transitions
are labeled from a complete, closed semiring, and path properties are algebraic
with semiring operations. The algebraic path properties can model dataflow analysis
problems, the shortest path problem, and many other natural problems that arise
in program analysis. We consider that each component of the concurrent system
is a graph with constant treewidth, a property satisfied by the controlflow graphs
of most programs. We allow for multiple possible queries, which arise naturally
in demand driven dataflow analysis. The study of multiple queries allows us to
consider the tradeoff between the resource usage of the one-time preprocessing
and for each individual query. The traditional approach constructs the product
graph of all components and applies the best-known graph algorithm on the product.
In this approach, even the answer to a single query requires the transitive closure
(i.e., the results of all possible queries), which provides no room for tradeoff
between preprocessing and query time. Our main contributions are algorithms that
significantly improve the worst-case running time of the traditional approach,
and provide various tradeoffs depending on the number of queries. For example,
in a concurrent system of two components, the traditional approach requires hexic
time in the worst case for answering one query as well as computing the transitive
closure, whereas we show that with one-time preprocessing in almost cubic time,
each subsequent query can be answered in at most linear time, and even the transitive
closure can be computed in almost quartic time. Furthermore, we establish conditional
optimality results showing that the worst-case running time of our algorithms
cannot be improved without achieving major breakthroughs in graph algorithms (i.e.,
improving the worst-case bound for the shortest path problem in general graphs).
Preliminary experimental results show that our algorithms perform favorably on
several benchmarks.

text: We consider the problem of computing the set of initial states of a dynamical
system such that there exists a control strategy to ensure that the trajectories
satisfy a temporal logic specification with probability 1 (almost-surely). We
focus on discrete-time, stochastic linear dynamics and specifications given as
formulas of the Generalized Reactivity(1) fragment of Linear Temporal Logic over
linear predicates in the states of the system. We propose a solution based on
iterative abstraction-refinement, and turn-based 2-player probabilistic games.
While the theoretical guarantee of our algorithm after any finite number of iterations
is only a partial solution, we show that if our algorithm terminates, then the
result is the set of satisfying initial states. Moreover, for any (partial) solution
our algorithm synthesizes witness control strategies to ensure almost-sure satisfaction
of the temporal logic specification. We demonstrate our approach on an illustrative
case study.

text: In many social situations, individuals endeavor to find the single best possible
partner, but are constrained to evaluate the candidates in sequence. Examples
include the search for mates, economic partnerships, or any other long-term ties
where the choice to interact involves two parties. Surprisingly, however, previous
theoretical work on mutual choice problems focuses on finding equilibrium solutions,
while ignoring the evolutionary dynamics of decisions. Empirically, this may be
of high importance, as some equilibrium solutions can never be reached unless
the population undergoes radical changes and a sufficient number of individuals
change their decisions simultaneously. To address this question, we apply a mutual
choice sequential search problem in an evolutionary game-theoretical model that
allows one to find solutions that are favored by evolution. As an example, we
study the influence of sequential search on the evolutionary dynamics of cooperation.
For this, we focus on the classic snowdrift game and the prisoner’s dilemma game.

text: "For deterministic systems, a counterexample to a property can simply be an
error trace, whereas counterexamples in probabilistic systems are necessarily
more complex. For instance, a set of erroneous traces with a sufficient cumulative
probability mass can be used. Since these are too large objects to understand
and manipulate, compact representations such as subchains have been considered.
In the case of probabilistic systems with non-determinism, the situation is even
more complex. While a subchain for a given strategy (or scheduler, resolving non-determinism)
is a straightforward choice, we take a different approach. Instead, we focus on
the strategy itself, and extract the most important decisions it makes, and present
its succinct representation.\r\nThe key tools we employ to achieve this are (1)
introducing a concept of importance of a state w.r.t. the strategy, and (2) learning
using decision trees. There are three main consequent advantages of our approach.
Firstly, it exploits the quantitative information on states, stressing the more
important decisions. Secondly, it leads to a greater variability and degree of
freedom in representing the strategies. Thirdly, the representation uses a self-explanatory
data structure. In summary, our approach produces more succinct and more explainable
strategies, as opposed to e.g. binary decision diagrams. Finally, our experimental
results show that we can extract several rules describing the strategy even for
very large systems that do not fit in memory, and based on the rules explain the
erroneous behaviour."

text: "We revisit the parameterized model checking problem for token-passing systems
and specifications in indexed CTL ∗ \\X. Emerson and Namjoshi (1995, 2003) have
shown that parameterized model checking of indexed CTL ∗ \\X in uni-directional
token rings can be reduced to checking rings up to some cutoff size. Clarke et
al. (2004) have shown a similar result for general topologies and indexed LTL
\\X, provided processes cannot choose the directions for sending or receiving
the token.\r\nWe unify and substantially extend these results by systematically
exploring fragments of indexed CTL ∗ \\X with respect to general topologies.
For each fragment we establish whether a cutoff exists, and for some concrete
topologies, such as rings, cliques and stars, we infer small cutoffs. Finally,
we show that the problem becomes undecidable, and thus no cutoffs exist, if processes
are allowed to choose the directions in which they send or from which they receive
the token."

text: 'We consider directed graphs where each edge is labeled with an integer weight
and study the fundamental algorithmic question of computing the value of a cycle
with minimum mean weight. Our contributions are twofold: (1) First we show that
the algorithmic question is reducible to the problem of a logarithmic number of
min-plus matrix multiplications of n×n-matrices, where n is the number of vertices
of the graph. (2) Second, when the weights are nonnegative, we present the first
(1+ε)-approximation algorithm for the problem and the running time of our algorithm
is Õ(nωlog3(nW/ε)/ε),1 where O(nω) is the time required for the classic n×n-matrix
multiplication and W is the maximum value of the weights. With an additional O(log(nW/ε))
factor in space a cycle with approximately optimal weight can be computed within
the same time bound.'

text: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) composed of low-power, low-cost sensor nodes
are expected to form the backbone of future intelligent networks for a broad range
of civil, industrial and military applications. These sensor nodes are often deployed
through random spreading, and function in dynamic environments. Many applications
of WSNs such as pollution tracking, forest fire detection, and military surveillance
require knowledge of the location of constituent nodes. But the use of technologies
such as GPS on all nodes is prohibitive due to power and cost constraints. So,
the sensor nodes need to autonomously determine their locations. Most localization
techniques use anchor nodes with known locations to determine the position of
remaining nodes. Localization techniques have two conflicting requirements. On
one hand, an ideal localization technique should be computationally simple and
on the other hand, it must be resistant to attacks that compromise anchor nodes.
In this paper, we propose a computationally light-weight game theoretic secure
localization technique and demonstrate its effectiveness in comparison to existing
techniques.

text: Unbiased high-throughput massively parallel sequencing methods have transformed
the process of discovery of novel putative driver gene mutations in cancer. In
chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), these methods have yielded several unexpected
findings, including the driver genes SF3B1, NOTCH1 and POT1. Recent analysis,
utilizing down-sampling of existing datasets, has shown that the discovery process
of putative drivers is far from complete across cancer. In CLL, while driver gene
mutations affecting >10% of patients were efficiently discovered with previously
published CLL cohorts of up to 160 samples subjected to whole exome sequencing
(WES), this sample size has only 0.78 power to detect drivers affecting 5% of
patients, and only 0.12 power for drivers affecting 2% of patients. These calculations
emphasize the need to apply unbiased WES to larger patient cohorts.

text: We present a general framework for applying machine-learning algorithms to
the verification of Markov decision processes (MDPs). The primary goal of these
techniques is to improve performance by avoiding an exhaustive exploration of
the state space. Our framework focuses on probabilistic reachability, which is
a core property for verification, and is illustrated through two distinct instantiations.
The first assumes that full knowledge of the MDP is available, and performs a
heuristic-driven partial exploration of the model, yielding precise lower and
upper bounds on the required probability. The second tackles the case where we
may only sample the MDP, and yields probabilistic guarantees, again in terms of
both the lower and upper bounds, which provides efficient stopping criteria for
the approximation. The latter is the first extension of statistical model checking
for unbounded properties inMDPs. In contrast with other related techniques, our
approach is not restricted to time-bounded (finite-horizon) or discounted properties,
nor does it assume any particular properties of the MDP. We also show how our
methods extend to LTL objectives. We present experimental results showing the
performance of our framework on several examples.

text: In contrast to the usual understanding of probabilistic systems as stochastic
processes, recently these systems have also been regarded as transformers of probabilities.
In this paper, we give a natural definition of strong bisimulation for probabilistic
systems corresponding to this view that treats probability distributions as first-class
citizens. Our definition applies in the same way to discrete systems as well as
to systems with uncountable state and action spaces. Several examples demonstrate
that our definition refines the understanding of behavioural equivalences of probabilistic
systems. In particular, it solves a longstanding open problem concerning the representation
of memoryless continuous time by memoryfull continuous time. Finally, we give
algorithms for computing this bisimulation not only for finite but also for classes
of uncountably infinite systems.

text: A standard technique for solving the parameterized model checking problem
is to reduce it to the classic model checking problem of finitely many finite-state
systems. This work considers some of the theoretical power and limitations of
this technique. We focus on concurrent systems in which processes communicate
via pairwise rendezvous, as well as the special cases of disjunctive guards and
token passing; specifications are expressed in indexed temporal logic without
the next operator; and the underlying network topologies are generated by suitable
Monadic Second Order Logic formulas and graph operations. First, we settle the
exact computational complexity of the parameterized model checking problem for
some of our concurrent systems, and establish new decidability results for others.
Second, we consider the cases that model checking the parameterized system can
be reduced to model checking some fixed number of processes, the number is known
as a cutoff. We provide many cases for when such cutoffs can be computed, establish
lower bounds on the size of such cutoffs, and identify cases where no cutoff exists.
Third, we consider cases for which the parameterized system is equivalent to a
single finite-state system (more precisely a Büchi word automaton), and establish
tight bounds on the sizes of such automata.

text: 'Systems should not only be correct but also robust in the sense that they
behave reasonably in unexpected situations. This article addresses synthesis of
robust reactive systems from temporal specifications. Existing methods allow arbitrary
behavior if assumptions in the specification are violated. To overcome this, we
define two robustness notions, combine them, and show how to enforce them in synthesis.
The first notion applies to safety properties: If safety assumptions are violated
temporarily, we require that the system recovers to normal operation with as few
errors as possible. The second notion requires that, if liveness assumptions are
violated, as many guarantees as possible should be fulfilled nevertheless. We
present a synthesis procedure achieving this for the important class of GR(1)
specifications, and establish complexity bounds. We also present an implementation
of a special case of robustness, and show experimental results.'

text: We present a new algorithm to construct a (generalized) deterministic Rabin
automaton for an LTL formula φ. The automaton is the product of a master automaton
and an array of slave automata, one for each G-subformula of φ. The slave automaton
for G ψ is in charge of recognizing whether FG ψ holds. As opposed to standard
determinization procedures, the states of all our automata have a clear logical
structure, which allows for various optimizations. Our construction subsumes former
algorithms for fragments of LTL. Experimental results show improvement in the
sizes of the resulting automata compared to existing methods.

text: We study Markov decision processes (MDPs) with multiple limit-average (or
mean-payoff) functions. We consider two different objectives, namely, expectation
and satisfaction objectives. Given an MDP with κ limit-average functions, in the
expectation objective the goal is to maximize the expected limit-average value,
and in the satisfaction objective the goal is to maximize the probability of runs
such that the limit-average value stays above a given vector. We show that under
the expectation objective, in contrast to the case of one limit-average function,
both randomization and memory are necessary for strategies even for ε-approximation,
and that finite-memory randomized strategies are sufficient for achieving Pareto
optimal values. Under the satisfaction objective, in contrast to the case of one
limit-average function, infinite memory is necessary for strategies achieving
a specific value (i.e. randomized finite-memory strategies are not sufficient),
whereas memoryless randomized strategies are sufficient for ε-approximation, for
all ε > 0. We further prove that the decision problems for both expectation
and satisfaction objectives can be solved in polynomial time and the trade-off
curve (Pareto curve) can be ε-approximated in time polynomial in the size of the
MDP and 1/ε, and exponential in the number of limit-average functions, for all
ε > 0. Our analysis also reveals flaws in previous work for MDPs with multiple
mean-payoff functions under the expectation objective, corrects the flaws, and
allows us to obtain improved results.

text: 'Muller games are played by two players moving a token along a graph; the
winner is determined by the set of vertices that occur infinitely often. The central
algorithmic problem is to compute the winning regions for the players. Different
classes and representations of Muller games lead to problems of varying computational
complexity. One such class are parity games; these are of particular significance
in computational complexity, as they remain one of the few combinatorial problems
known to be in NP ∩ co-NP but not known to be in P. We show that winning regions
for a Muller game can be determined from the alternating structure of its traps.
To every Muller game we then associate a natural number that we call its trap
depth; this parameter measures how complicated the trap structure is. We present
algorithms for parity games that run in polynomial time for graphs of bounded
trap depth, and in general run in time exponential in the trap depth. '

text: Multi-dimensional mean-payoff and energy games provide the mathematical foundation
for the quantitative study of reactive systems, and play a central role in the
emerging quantitative theory of verification and synthesis. In this work, we study
the strategy synthesis problem for games with such multi-dimensional objectives
along with a parity condition, a canonical way to express ω ω -regular conditions.
While in general, the winning strategies in such games may require infinite memory,
for synthesis the most relevant problem is the construction of a finite-memory
winning strategy (if one exists). Our main contributions are as follows. First,
we show a tight exponential bound (matching upper and lower bounds) on the memory
required for finite-memory winning strategies in both multi-dimensional mean-payoff
and energy games along with parity objectives. This significantly improves the
triple exponential upper bound for multi energy games (without parity) that could
be derived from results in literature for games on vector addition systems with
states. Second, we present an optimal symbolic and incremental algorithm to compute
a finite-memory winning strategy (if one exists) in such games. Finally, we give
a complete characterization of when finite memory of strategies can be traded
off for randomness. In particular, we show that for one-dimension mean-payoff
parity games, randomized memoryless strategies are as powerful as their pure finite-memory
counterparts.

text: The classical (boolean) notion of refinement for behavioral interfaces of
system components is the alternating refinement preorder. In this paper, we define
a distance for interfaces, called interface simulation distance. It makes the
alternating refinement preorder quantitative by, intuitively, tolerating errors
(while counting them) in the alternating simulation game. We show that the interface
simulation distance satisfies the triangle inequality, that the distance between
two interfaces does not increase under parallel composition with a third interface,
that the distance between two interfaces can be bounded from above and below by
distances between abstractions of the two interfaces, and how to synthesize an
interface from incompatible requirements. We illustrate the framework, and the
properties of the distances under composition of interfaces, with two case studies.

text: The computation of the winning set for Büchi objectives in alternating games
on graphs is a central problem in computer-aided verification with a large number
of applications. The long-standing best known upper bound for solving the problem
is Õ(n ⋅ m), where n is the number of vertices and m is the number of edges in
the graph. We are the first to break the Õ(n ⋅ m) boundary by presenting a new
technique that reduces the running time to O(n2). This bound also leads to O(n2)-time
algorithms for computing the set of almost-sure winning vertices for Büchi objectives
(1) in alternating games with probabilistic transitions (improving an earlier
bound of Õ(n ⋅ m)), (2) in concurrent graph games with constant actions (improving
an earlier bound of O(n3)), and (3) in Markov decision processes (improving for
m>n4/3 an earlier bound of O(m ⋅ √m)). We then show how to maintain the winning
set for Büchi objectives in alternating games under a sequence of edge insertions
or a sequence of edge deletions in O(n) amortized time per operation. Our algorithms
are the first dynamic algorithms for this problem. We then consider another core
graph theoretic problem in verification of probabilistic systems, namely computing
the maximal end-component decomposition of a graph. We present two improved static
algorithms for the maximal end-component decomposition problem. Our first algorithm
is an O(m ⋅ √m)-time algorithm, and our second algorithm is an O(n2)-time algorithm
which is obtained using the same technique as for alternating Büchi games. Thus,
we obtain an O(min &lcu;m ⋅ √m,n2})-time algorithm improving the long-standing
O(n ⋅ m) time bound. Finally, we show how to maintain the maximal end-component
decomposition of a graph under a sequence of edge insertions or a sequence of
edge deletions in O(n) amortized time per edge deletion, and O(m) worst-case time
per edge insertion. Again, our algorithms are the first dynamic algorithms for
this problem.

text: 'We study two-player concurrent games on finite-state graphs played for an
infinite number of rounds, where in each round, the two players (player 1 and
player 2) choose their moves independently and simultaneously; the current state
and the two moves determine the successor state. The objectives are ω-regular
winning conditions specified as parity objectives. We consider the qualitative
analysis problems: the computation of the almost-sure and limit-sure winning set
of states, where player 1 can ensure to win with probability 1 and with probability
arbitrarily close to 1, respectively. In general the almost-sure and limit-sure
winning strategies require both infinite-memory as well as infinite-precision
(to describe probabilities). While the qualitative analysis problem for concurrent
parity games with infinite-memory, infinite-precision randomized strategies was
studied before, we study the bounded-rationality problem for qualitative analysis
of concurrent parity games, where the strategy set for player 1 is restricted
to bounded-resource strategies. In terms of precision, strategies can be deterministic,
uniform, finite-precision, or infinite-precision; and in terms of memory, strategies
can be memoryless, finite-memory, or infinite-memory. We present a precise and
complete characterization of the qualitative winning sets for all combinations
of classes of strategies. In particular, we show that uniform memoryless strategies
are as powerful as finite-precision infinite-memory strategies, and infinite-precision
memoryless strategies are as powerful as infinite-precision finite-memory strategies.
We show that the winning sets can be computed in (n2d+3) time, where n is the
size of the game structure and 2d is the number of priorities (or colors), and
our algorithms are symbolic. The membership problem of whether a state belongs
to a winning set can be decided in NP ∩ coNP. Our symbolic algorithms are based
on a characterization of the winning sets as μ-calculus formulas, however, our
μ-calculus formulas are crucially different from the ones for concurrent parity
games (without bounded rationality); and our memoryless witness strategy constructions
are significantly different from the infinite-memory witness strategy constructions
for concurrent parity games.'

text: 'First cycle games (FCG) are played on a finite graph by two players who push
a token along the edges until a vertex is repeated, and a simple cycle is formed.
The winner is determined by some fixed property Y of the sequence of labels of
the edges (or nodes) forming this cycle. These games are traditionally of interest
because of their connection with infinite-duration games such as parity and mean-payoff
games. We study the memory requirements for winning strategies of FCGs and certain
associated infinite duration games. We exhibit a simple FCG that is not memoryless
determined (this corrects a mistake in Memoryless determinacy of parity and mean
payoff games: a simple proof by Bj⋯orklund, Sandberg, Vorobyov (2004) that claims
that FCGs for which Y is closed under cyclic permutations are memoryless determined).
We show that θ (n)! memory (where n is the number of nodes in the graph), which
is always sufficient, may be necessary to win some FCGs. On the other hand, we
identify easy to check conditions on Y (i.e., Y is closed under cyclic permutations,
and both Y and its complement are closed under concatenation) that are sufficient
to ensure that the corresponding FCGs and their associated infinite duration games
are memoryless determined. We demonstrate that many games considered in the literature,
such as mean-payoff, parity, energy, etc., satisfy these conditions. On the complexity
side, we show (for efficiently computable Y) that while solving FCGs is in PSPACE,
solving some families of FCGs is PSPACE-hard. '

text: 'We consider two-player zero-sum partial-observation stochastic games on graphs.
Based on the information available to the players these games can be classified
as follows: (a) general partial-observation (both players have partial view of
the game); (b) one-sided partial-observation (one player has partial-observation
and the other player has complete-observation); and (c) perfect-observation (both
players have complete view of the game). The one-sided partial-observation games
subsumes the important special case of one-player partial-observation stochastic
games (or partial-observation Markov decision processes (POMDPs)). Based on the
randomization available for the strategies, (a) the players may not be allowed
to use randomization (pure strategies), or (b) they may choose a probability distribution
over actions but the actual random choice is external and not visible to the player
(actions invisible), or (c) they may use full randomization. We consider all these
classes of games with reachability, and parity objectives that can express all
ω-regular objectives. The analysis problems are classified into the qualitative
analysis that asks for the existence of a strategy that ensures the objective
with probability 1; and the quantitative analysis that asks for the existence
of a strategy that ensures the objective with probability at least λ (0,1). In
this talk we will cover a wide range of results: for perfect-observation games;
for POMDPs; for one-sided partial-observation games; and for general partial-observation
games.'

text: 'In two-player finite-state stochastic games of partial observation on graphs,
in every state of the graph, the players simultaneously choose an action, and
their joint actions determine a probability distribution over the successor states.
The game is played for infinitely many rounds and thus the players construct an
infinite path in the graph. We consider reachability objectives where the first
player tries to ensure a target state to be visited almost-surely (i.e., with
probability 1) or positively (i.e., with positive probability), no matter the
strategy of the second player. We classify such games according to the information
and to the power of randomization available to the players. On the basis of information,
the game can be one-sided with either (a) player 1, or (b) player 2 having partial
observation (and the other player has perfect observation), or two-sided with
(c) both players having partial observation. On the basis of randomization, (a)
the players may not be allowed to use randomization (pure strategies), or (b)
they may choose a probability distribution over actions but the actual random
choice is external and not visible to the player (actions invisible), or (c) they
may use full randomization. Our main results for pure strategies are as follows:
(1) For one-sided games with player 2 having perfect observation we show that
(in contrast to full randomized strategies) belief-based (subset-construction
based) strategies are not sufficient, and we present an exponential upper bound
on memory both for almost-sure and positive winning strategies; we show that the
problem of deciding the existence of almost-sure and positive winning strategies
for player 1 is EXPTIME-complete and present symbolic algorithms that avoid the
explicit exponential construction. (2) For one-sided games with player 1 having
perfect observation we show that nonelementarymemory is both necessary and sufficient
for both almost-sure and positive winning strategies. (3) We show that for the
general (two-sided) case finite-memory strategies are sufficient for both positive
and almost-sure winning, and at least nonelementary memory is required. We establish
the equivalence of the almost-sure winning problems for pure strategies and for
randomized strategies with actions invisible. Our equivalence result exhibit serious
flaws in previous results of the literature: we show a nonelementary memory lower
bound for almost-sure winning whereas an exponential upper bound was previously
claimed.'

text: Recently, there has been an effort to add quantitative objectives to formal
verification and synthesis. We introduce and investigate the extension of temporal
logics with quantitative atomic assertions. At the heart of quantitative objectives
lies the accumulation of values along a computation. It is often the accumulated
sum, as with energy objectives, or the accumulated average, as with mean-payoff
objectives. We investigate the extension of temporal logics with the prefix-accumulation
assertions Sum(v) ≥ c and Avg(v) ≥ c, where v is a numeric (or Boolean) variable
of the system, c is a constant rational number, and Sum(v) and Avg(v) denote the
accumulated sum and average of the values of v from the beginning of the computation
up to the current point in time. We also allow the path-accumulation assertions
LimInfAvg(v) ≥ c and LimSupAvg(v) ≥ c, referring to the average value along an
entire infinite computation. We study the border of decidability for such quantitative
extensions of various temporal logics. In particular, we show that extending the
fragment of CTL that has only the EX, EF, AX, and AG temporal modalities with
both prefix-accumulation assertions, or extending LTL with both path-accumulation
assertions, results in temporal logics whose model-checking problem is decidable.
Moreover, the prefix-accumulation assertions may be generalized with "controlled
accumulation," allowing, for example, to specify constraints on the average
waiting time between a request and a grant. On the negative side, we show that
this branching-time logic is, in a sense, the maximal logic with one or both of
the prefix-accumulation assertions that permits a decidable model-checking procedure.
Extending a temporal logic that has the EG or EU modalities, such as CTL or LTL,
makes the problem undecidable.

text: 'We study two-player (zero-sum) concurrent mean-payoff games played on a finite-state
graph. We focus on the important sub-class of ergodic games where all states are
visited infinitely often with probability 1. The algorithmic study of ergodic
games was initiated in a seminal work of Hoffman and Karp in 1966, but all basic
complexity questions have remained unresolved. Our main results for ergodic games
are as follows: We establish (1) an optimal exponential bound on the patience
of stationary strategies (where patience of a distribution is the inverse of the
smallest positive probability and represents a complexity measure of a stationary
strategy); (2) the approximation problem lies in FNP; (3) the approximation problem
is at least as hard as the decision problem for simple stochastic games (for which
NP ∩ coNP is the long-standing best known bound). We present a variant of the
strategy-iteration algorithm by Hoffman and Karp; show that both our algorithm
and the classical value-iteration algorithm can approximate the value in exponential
time; and identify a subclass where the value-iteration algorithm is a FPTAS.
We also show that the exact value can be expressed in the existential theory of
the reals, and establish square-root sum hardness for a related class of games.'

text: We consider two-player partial-observation stochastic games on finitestate
graphs where player 1 has partial observation and player 2 has perfect observation.
The winning condition we study are ε-regular conditions specified as parity objectives.
The qualitative-analysis problem given a partial-observation stochastic game and
a parity objective asks whether there is a strategy to ensure that the objective
is satisfied with probability 1 (resp. positive probability). These qualitative-analysis
problems are known to be undecidable. However in many applications the relevant
question is the existence of finite-memory strategies, and the qualitative-analysis
problems under finite-memory strategies was recently shown to be decidable in
2EXPTIME.We improve the complexity and show that the qualitative-analysis problems
for partial-observation stochastic parity games under finite-memory strategies
are EXPTIME-complete; and also establish optimal (exponential) memory bounds for
finite-memory strategies required for qualitative analysis.

text: 'The theory of graph games is the foundation for modeling and synthesizing
reactive processes. In the synthesis of stochastic processes, we use 2 1/2-player
games where some transitions of the game graph are controlled by two adversarial
players, the System and the Environment, and the other transitions are determined
probabilistically. We consider 2 1/2-player games where the objective of the System
is the conjunction of a qualitative objective (specified as a parity condition)
and a quantitative objective (specified as a mean-payoff condition). We establish
that the problem of deciding whether the System can ensure that the probability
to satisfy the mean-payoff parity objective is at least a given threshold is in
NP ∩ coNP, matching the best known bound in the special case of 2-player games
(where all transitions are deterministic). We present an algorithm running in
time O(d·n2d·MeanGame) to compute the set of almost-sure winning states from which
the objective can be ensured with probability 1, where n is the number of states
of the game, d the number of priorities of the parity objective, and MeanGame
is the complexity to compute the set of almost-sure winning states in 2 1/2-player
mean-payoff games. Our results are useful in the synthesis of stochastic reactive
systems with both functional requirement (given as a qualitative objective) and
performance requirement (given as a quantitative objective). '

text: The edit distance between two (untimed) traces is the minimum cost of a sequence
of edit operations (insertion, deletion, or substitution) needed to transform
one trace to the other. Edit distances have been extensively studied in the untimed
setting, and form the basis for approximate matching of sequences in different
domains such as coding theory, parsing, and speech recognition. In this paper,
we lift the study of edit distances from untimed languages to the timed setting.
We define an edit distance between timed words which incorporates both the edit
distance between the untimed words and the absolute difference in time stamps.
Our edit distance between two timed words is computable in polynomial time. Further,
we show that the edit distance between a timed word and a timed language generated
by a timed automaton, defined as the edit distance between the word and the closest
word in the language, is PSPACE-complete. While computing the edit distance between
two timed automata is undecidable, we show that the approximate version, where
we decide if the edit distance between two timed automata is either less than
a given parameter or more than δ away from the parameter, for δ > 0, can be
solved in exponential space and is EXPSPACE-hard. Our definitions and techniques
can be generalized to the setting of hybrid systems, and analogous decidability
results hold for rectangular automata.

text: We consider multi-player graph games with partial-observation and parity objective.
While the decision problem for three-player games with a coalition of the first
and second players against the third player is undecidable in general, we present
a decidability result for partial-observation games where the first and third
player are in a coalition against the second player, thus where the second player
is adversarial but weaker due to partial-observation. We establish tight complexity
bounds in the case where player 1 is less informed than player 2, namely 2-EXPTIME-completeness
for parity objectives. The symmetric case of player 1 more informed than player
2 is much more complicated, and we show that already in the case where player
1 has perfect observation, memory of size non-elementary is necessary in general
for reachability objectives, and the problem is decidable for safety and reachability
objectives. From our results we derive new complexity results for partial-observation
stochastic games.

text: "We consider the reachability and shortest path problems on low tree-width
graphs, with n nodes, m edges, and tree-width t, on a standard RAM with wordsize
W. We use O to hide polynomial factors of the inverse of the Ackermann function.
Our main contributions are three fold:\r\n1. For reachability, we present an algorithm
that requires O(n·t2·log(n/t)) preprocessing time, O(n·(t·log(n/t))/W) space,
and O(t/W) time for pair queries and O((n·t)/W) time for single-source queries.
Note that for constant t our algorithm uses O(n·logn) time for preprocessing;
and O(n/W) time for single-source queries, which is faster than depth first search/breath
first search (after the preprocessing).\r\n2. We present an algorithm for shortest
path that requires O(n·t2) preprocessing time, O(n·t) space, and O(t2) time for
pair queries and O(n·t) time single-source queries.\r\n3. We give a space versus
query time trade-off algorithm for shortest path that, given any constant >0,
requires O(n·t2) preprocessing time, O(n·t2) space, and O(n1−·t2) time for pair
queries.\r\nOur algorithms improve all existing results, and use very simple data
structures."

text: We consider multi-player graph games with partial-observation and parity objective.
While the decision problem for three-player games with a coalition of the first
and second players against the third player is undecidable, we present a decidability
result for partial-observation games where the first and third player are in a
coalition against the second player, thus where the second player is adversarial
but weaker due to partial-observation. We establish tight complexity bounds in
the case where player 1 is less informed than player 2, namely 2-EXPTIME-completeness
for parity objectives. The symmetric case of player 1 more informed than player
2 is much more complicated, and we show that already in the case where player
1 has perfect observation, memory of size non-elementary is necessary in general
for reachability objectives, and the problem is decidable for safety and reachability
objectives. Our results have tight connections with partial-observation stochastic
games for which we derive new complexity results.

text: 'We consider concurrent mean-payoff games, a very well-studied class of two-player
(player 1 vs player 2) zero-sum games on finite-state graphs where every transition
is assigned a reward between 0 and 1, and the payoff function is the long-run
average of the rewards. The value is the maximal expected payoff that player 1
can guarantee against all strategies of player 2. We consider the computation
of the set of states with value 1 under finite-memory strategies for player 1,
and our main results for the problem are as follows: (1) we present a polynomial-time
algorithm; (2) we show that whenever there is a finite-memory strategy, there
is a stationary strategy that does not need memory at all; and (3) we present
an optimal bound (which is double exponential) on the patience of stationary strategies
(where patience of a distribution is the inverse of the smallest positive probability
and represents a complexity measure of a stationary strategy).'

text: We consider partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), that
are a standard framework for robotics applications to model uncertainties present
in the real world, with temporal logic specifications. All temporal logic specifications
in linear-time temporal logic (LTL) can be expressed as parity objectives. We
study the qualitative analysis problem for POMDPs with parity objectives that
asks whether there is a controller (policy) to ensure that the objective holds
with probability 1 (almost-surely). While the qualitative analysis of POMDPs with
parity objectives is undecidable, recent results show that when restricted to
finite-memory policies the problem is EXPTIME-complete. While the problem is intractable
in theory, we present a practical approach to solve the qualitative analysis problem.
We designed several heuristics to deal with the exponential complexity, and have
used our implementation on a number of well-known POMDP examples for robotics
applications. Our results provide the first practical approach to solve the qualitative
analysis of robot motion planning with LTL properties in the presence of uncertainty.

text: 'We present a flexible framework for the automated competitive analysis of
on-line scheduling algorithms for firm- deadline real-time tasks based on multi-objective
graphs: Given a taskset and an on-line scheduling algorithm specified as a labeled
transition system, along with some optional safety, liveness, and/or limit-average
constraints for the adversary, we automatically compute the competitive ratio
of the algorithm w.r.t. a clairvoyant scheduler. We demonstrate the flexibility
and power of our approach by comparing the competitive ratio of several on-line
algorithms, including D(over), that have been proposed in the past, for various
tasksets. Our experimental results reveal that none of these algorithms is universally
optimal, in the sense that there are tasksets where other schedulers provide better
performance. Our framework is hence a very useful design tool for selecting optimal
algorithms for a given application. '

text: 'We consider graphs with n nodes together with their tree-decomposition that
has b = O ( n ) bags and width t , on the standard RAM computational model with
wordsize W = Θ (log n ) . Our contributions are two-fold: Our first contribution
is an algorithm that given a graph and its tree-decomposition as input, computes
a binary and balanced tree-decomposition of width at most 4 · t + 3 of the graph
in O ( b ) time and space, improving a long-standing (from 1992) bound of O (
n · log n ) time for constant treewidth graphs. Our second contribution is on
reachability queries for low treewidth graphs. We build on our tree-balancing
algorithm and present a data-structure for graph reachability that requires O
( n · t 2 ) preprocessing time, O ( n · t ) space, and O ( d t/ log n e ) time
for pair queries, and O ( n · t · log t/ log n ) time for single-source queries.
For constant t our data-structure uses O ( n ) time for preprocessing, O (1) time
for pair queries, and O ( n/ log n ) time for single-source queries. This is (asymptotically)
optimal and is faster than DFS/BFS when answering more than a constant number
of single-source queries.'

text: 'Recently there has been a significant effort to add quantitative properties
in formal verification and synthesis. While weighted automata over finite and
infinite words provide a natural and flexible framework to express quantitative
properties, perhaps surprisingly, several basic system properties such as average
response time cannot be expressed with weighted automata. In this work, we introduce
nested weighted automata as a new formalism for expressing important quantitative
properties such as average response time. We establish an almost complete decidability
picture for the basic decision problems for nested weighted automata, and illustrate
its applicability in several domains. '

text: 'Evolution occurs in populations of reproducing individuals. The structure
of the population affects the outcome of the evolutionary process. Evolutionary
graph theory is a powerful approach to study this phenomenon. There are two graphs.
The interaction graph specifies who interacts with whom in the context of evolution.
The replacement graph specifies who competes with whom for reproduction. The vertices
of the two graphs are the same, and each vertex corresponds to an individual.
A key quantity is the fixation probability of a new mutant. It is defined as the
probability that a newly introduced mutant (on a single vertex) generates a lineage
of offspring which eventually takes over the entire population of resident individuals.
The basic computational questions are as follows: (i) the qualitative question
asks whether the fixation probability is positive; and (ii) the quantitative approximation
question asks for an approximation of the fixation probability. Our main results
are: (1) We show that the qualitative question is NP-complete and the quantitative
approximation question is #P-hard in the special case when the interaction and
the replacement graphs coincide and even with the restriction that the resident
individuals do not reproduce (which corresponds to an invading population taking
over an empty structure). (2) We show that in general the qualitative question
is PSPACE-complete and the quantitative approximation question is PSPACE-hard
and can be solved in exponential time.'

text: "Two-player games on graphs provide the theoretical framework for many important
problems such as reactive synthesis. While the traditional study of two-player
zero-sum games has been extended to multi-player games with several notions of
equilibria, they are decidable only for perfect-information games, whereas several
applications require imperfect-information games.\r\nIn this paper we propose
a new notion of equilibria, called doomsday equilibria, which is a strategy profile
such that all players satisfy their own objective, and if any coalition of players
deviates and violates even one of the players objective, then the objective of
every player is violated.\r\nWe present algorithms and complexity results for
deciding the existence of doomsday equilibria for various classes of ω-regular
objectives, both for imperfect-information games, and for perfect-information
games.We provide optimal complexity bounds for imperfect-information games, and
in most cases for perfect-information games."
