Complexity Bounds for Muller Games

چکیده
We consider the complexity of infinite games played on finite graphs. We establish a framework in which the expressiveness and succinctness of different types of winning conditions can be compared. We show that the problem of deciding the winner in Muller games is Pspace-complete. This is then used to establish Pspacecompleteness for Emerson-Lei games and for games described by Zielonka DAGs. Adaptations of the proof show Pspace-completeness for the emptiness problem for Muller automata as well as the model-checking problem for such automata on regular trees. We also show co-NP-completeness for two classes of union-closed games: games specified by a basis and superset Muller games.

متن کاملSolving infinite games with bounds
We investigate the existence and the complexity of computing and implementing optimal winning strategies for graph games of infinite duration. Parameterized linear temporal logics are extensions of Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) by temporal operators equipped with variables for time bounds. In model-checking, such specifications were introduced as “PLTL” by Alur et al. and as “PROMPT-LTL” by Kupfe...
متن کاملMachines and their Complexity ( with addendum )
We introduce a machine model for the execution of strategies in (regular) infinite games that refines the standard model of Mealy automata. This model of controllers is formalized in the terminological framework of Turing machines. We show how polynomially sized controllers can be found for Muller and Streett games. We are able to distinguish aspects of executing strategies (”size”, ”latency”, ...
متن کاملOn Fixed-Parameter Complexity of Infinite Games
We investigate and classify fixed parameter complexity of several infinite duration games, including Rabin, Streett, Muller, parity, mean payoff, and simple stochastic, using different natural parameterizations. Most known fixed parameter intractable games are PSPACEor EXP-complete classically, AW [∗] or XP-hard parametrically, and are all finite duration games. In contrast, the games we consid...
متن کاملAlternating traps in Muller and parity games
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 sig...
