Undecidability over Continuous Time

چکیده
Since 1996, some models of recursive functions over the real numbers have been analyzed by several researchers. It could be expected that they exhibit a computational power much greater than that of Turing machines (as other well known models of computation over the real numbers already considered in the past fifteen years, like neural net models with real weights). The fact is that they have not got such a power. Although they decide the classical halting problem of Turing machines, they have almost the same limitations of Turing machines. Our profit on them has been to represent classical complexity classes (like P or NP ) by analytical means, and possibly relate them by unusual

Distributed Synthesis in Continuous Time
We introduce a formalism modelling communication of distributed agents strictly in continuous-time. Within this framework, we study the problem of synthesising local strategies for individual agents such that a specified set of goal states is reached, or reached with at least a given probability. The flow of time is modelled explicitly based on continuous-time randomness, with two natural impli...
متن کاملRobust Undecidability of Timed and Hybrid Systems
The algorithmic approach to the analysis of timed and hybrid systems is fundamentally limited by undecidability, of universality in the timed case (where all continuous variables are clocks), and of emptiness in the rectangular case (which includes drifting clocks). Traditional proofs of undecidability encode a single Turing computation by a single timed trajectory. These proofs have nurtured t...
متن کاملOn the Undecidability of Universality for Timed Automata with Minimal Resources
In 1994 Alur and Dill introduced timed automata and showed that universality was undecidable there. Since then it has been shown that under certain restrictions the problem becomes decidable. But the frontier between decidability and undecidability is still vast. We aim at narrowing this gap considerably. Our main accomplishment is to prove that universality stays undecidable over weakly monoto...
متن کاملThe Undecidability of the Logic of Subintervals
The Halpern–Shoham logic is a modal logic of time intervals. Some effort has been put in last ten years to classify fragments of this beautiful logic with respect to decidability of its satisfiability problem. We complete this classification by showing — what we believe is quite an unexpected result — that the logic of subintervals, the fragment of the Halpern–Shoham logic where only the operat...
متن کاملModel Checking Guarded Protocols
The Parameterized Model Checking Problem (PMCP) is to decide whether a temporal property holds for a uniform family of systems, , comprised of a control process, , and finitely, but arbitrarily, many copies of a user process, , executing concurrently with interleaving semantics. We delineate the decidability/undecidability boundary of the PMCP for all possible systems that arise by letting proc...
متن کاملHilbert’s Tenth Problem for Function Fields of Characteristic Zero
In this article we outline the methods that are used to prove undecidability of Hilbert’s Tenth Problem for function fields of characteristic zero. Following Denef we show how rank one elliptic curves can be used to prove undecidability for rational function fields over formally real fields. We also sketch the undecidability proofs for function fields of varieties over the complex numbers of di...
