ML and Extended Branching VASS
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that the observational equivalence problem for a finitary fragment of ML is recursively equivalent to the reachability problem for extended branching vector addition systems with states (EBVASS). Our proof uses the fully abstract game semantics of the language. We introduce a new class of automata, VPCMA, as a representation of the game semantics. VPCMA are a version of class memory automata equipped with a visibly pushdown stack; they serve as a bridge enabling interreducibility of decision problems between the game semantics and EBVASS. The results of this paper complete our programme to give an automata classification of the ML types with respect to the observational equivalence problem for closed terms.

Karp-Miller Trees for a Branching Extension of VASS
We study BVASS (Branching VASS) which extend VASS (Vector Addition Systems with States) by allowing addition transitions that merge two configurations. Runs in BVASS are tree-like structures instead of linear ones as for VASS. We show that the construction of Karp-Miller trees for VASS can be extended to BVASS. This entails that the coverability set for BVASS is computable.
متن کاملModel Checking Lossy Vector Addition Systems
Lossy VASS (vector addition systems with states) are deened as a subclass of VASS in analogy to lossy FIFO-channel systems. They can be used to model concurrent systems with unreliable communication. We analyze the decidability of model checking problems for lossy systems and several branching-time and linear-time temporal logics. We present an almost complete picture of the decidability of mod...
متن کاملA Polynomial-Time Algorithm for Reachability in Branching VASS in Dimension One
Branching VASS (BVASS) generalise vector addition systems with states by allowing for special branching transitions that can non-deterministically distribute a counter value between two control states. A run of a BVASS consequently becomes a tree, and reachability is to decide whether a given configuration is the root of a reachability tree. This paper shows P-completeness of reachability in BV...
متن کاملRewriting Systems for Reachability in Vector Addition Systems with Pairs
We adapt hypergraph rewriting system to a generalization of Vector Addition Systems with States (VASS) that we call vector addition systems with pairs (VASP). We give rewriting systems and strategies, that allow us to obtain reachability equivalence results between some classes of VASP and VASS. Reachability for the later is well known be equivalent to reachability in Petri nets. VASP generaliz...
متن کاملFinkel , Alain and Sangnier , Arnaud Mixing coverability and reachability to analyze VASS with one zero - test
We study Vector Addition Systems with States (VASS) extended in such a way that one of the manipulated integer variables can be tested to zero. For this class of system, it has been proved that the reachability problem is decidable. We prove here that boundedness, termination and reversal-boundedness are decidable for VASS with one zero-test. To decide reversal-boundedness, we provide an origin...
