Regular languages of words over countable linear orderings

O Carton, T Colcombet, G Puppis - International Colloquium on Automata …, 2011 - Springer
We develop an algebraic model for recognizing languages of words indexed by countable
linear orderings. This notion of recognizability is effectively equivalent to definability in …

The linear nature of pseudowords

J Almeida, A Costa, JC Costa, M Zeitoun - Publicacions matematiques, 2019 - JSTOR
Given a pseudoword over suitable pseudovarieties, we associate to it a labeled linear order
determined by the factorizations of the pseudoword. We show that, in the case of the …

Decidability of difference logics with unary predicates

B Boigelot, P Fontaine, B Vergain - CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 2023 - orbi.uliege.be
We investigate the decidability of a family of logics mixing difference-logic constraints and
unary uninterpreted predicates. The focus is set on logics whose domain of interpretation is …

Decidability of difference logic over the reals with uninterpreted unary predicates

B Boigelot, P Fontaine, B Vergain - International Conference on Automated …, 2023 - Springer
First-order logic fragments mixing quantifiers, arithmetic, and uninterpreted predicates are
often undecidable, as is, for instance, Presburger arithmetic extended with a single …

Equational descriptions of languages

JÉ Pin - International Journal of Foundations of Computer …, 2012 - World Scientific
This paper is a survey on the equational descriptions of languages. The first part is devoted
to Birkhoff's and Reiterman's theorems on equational descriptions of varieties. Eilenberg's …

A note on xQx as a modelling and solution framework for the Linear Ordering Problem

M Lewis, B Alidaee, F Glover… - International Journal …, 2009 - inderscienceonline.com
This paper expands the list of 0-1 problems that can be effectively modelled and solved as
Unconstrained Quadratic Binary Programs (UQPs). UQP has been presented as a general …

First-order quantification over automata

B Boigelot, P Fontaine, B Vergain - arXiv preprint arXiv:2306.04210, 2023 - arxiv.org
Deciding formulas mixing arithmetic and uninterpreted predicates is of practical interest,
notably for applications in verification. Some decision procedures consist in building by …

An algebraic approach to MSO-definability on countable linear orderings

O Carton, T Colcombet, G Puppis - The Journal of Symbolic Logic, 2018 - cambridge.org
We develop an algebraic notion of recognizability for languages of words indexed by
countable linear orderings. We prove that this notion is effectively equivalent to definability in …

Büchi context-free languages

Z Ésik, S Iván - Theoretical Computer Science, 2011 - Elsevier
We define context-free grammars with Büchi acceptance condition generating languages of
countable words. We establish several closure properties and decidability results for the …

Abstract geometrical computation 12: generating representation of infinite countable linear orderings

J Durand-Lose - Natural Computing, 2024 - Springer
Any countable (infinite or not) linear (total) ordering can be represented by displaying all its
elements on an axis in increasing order. Such a representation can be generated using only …
