On Modal Logics of Partial Recursive Functions

The classical propositional logic is known to be sound and complete with respect to the set semantics that interprets connectives as set operations. The paper extends propositional language by a new binary modality that corresponds to partial recursive function type constructor under the above interpretation. The cases of deterministic and non-deterministic functions are considered and for both of them semantically complete modal logics are described and decidability of these logics is established

An Automata Theoretic Approach to the Zero-One Law for Regular Languages: Algorithmic and Logical Aspects

A zero-one language L is a regular language whose asymptotic probability converges to either zero or one. In this case, we say that L obeys the zero-one law. We prove that a regular language obeys the zero-one law if and only if its syntactic monoid has a zero element, by means of Eilenberg's variety theoretic approach. Our proof gives an effective automata characterisation of the zero-one law for regular languages, and it leads to a linear time algorithm for testing whether a given regular language is zero-one. In addition, we discuss the logical aspects of the zero-one law for regular languages.Comment: In Proceedings GandALF 2015, arXiv:1509.0685

Synthesis of Deterministic Top-down Tree Transducers from Automatic Tree Relations

We consider the synthesis of deterministic tree transducers from automaton definable specifications, given as binary relations, over finite trees. We consider the case of specifications that are deterministic top-down tree automatic, meaning the specification is recognizable by a deterministic top-down tree automaton that reads the two given trees synchronously in parallel. In this setting we study tree transducers that are allowed to have either bounded delay or arbitrary delay. Delay is caused whenever the transducer reads a symbol from the input tree but does not produce output. We provide decision procedures for both bounded and arbitrary delay that yield deterministic top-down tree transducers which realize the specification for valid input trees. Similar to the case of relations over words, we use two-player games to obtain our results.Comment: In Proceedings GandALF 2014, arXiv:1408.556

Noise-based information processing: Noise-based logic and computing: what do we have so far?

We briefly introduce noise-based logic. After describing the main motivations we outline classical, instantaneous (squeezed and non-squeezed), continuum, spike and random-telegraph-signal based schemes with applications such as circuits that emulate the brain functioning and string verification via a slow communication channel.Comment: Invited talk at the 21st International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations, Toronto, Canada, June 12-16, 201

Sequent and Hypersequent Calculi for Abelian and Lukasiewicz Logics

We present two embeddings of infinite-valued Lukasiewicz logic L into Meyer and Slaney's abelian logic A, the logic of lattice-ordered abelian groups. We give new analytic proof systems for A and use the embeddings to derive corresponding systems for L. These include: hypersequent calculi for A and L and terminating versions of these calculi; labelled single sequent calculi for A and L of complexity co-NP; unlabelled single sequent calculi for A and L.Comment: 35 pages, 1 figur
