Next Generation of Rank-Based Algorithms for Omega Automata
Šmahlíková, Barbora ; Holík, Lukáš (oponent) ; Lengál, Ondřej (vedoucí práce)
Büchi automata (BA) complementation is a crucial operation for termination analysis of programs, model checking, or decision procedures for various logics. Despite its prominence, practically efficient algorithms for BA complementation are still missing. This thesis deals with optimizations of Büchi automata complementation, focusing mainly on rank-based techniques. The original rank-based algorithm is asymptotically optimal, but it can still generate unnecessarily large state space. For a practical usage, it is therefore desirable to reduce the number of generated states in the complement as much as possible. We propose several techniques that can efficiently complement some special types of Büchi automata, occuring often in practice, based on their structure. Some of these techniques can also, to a certain degree, be extended to general Büchi automata. The developed techniques were implemented as an extension of the tool Ranker for Büchi automata complementation and evaluated on thousands of hard automata. Our optimizations significantly reduce the generated state space and Ranker produces in the majority of cases a~smaller complement than other state-of-the-art tools.

Efficient Automata Techniques and Their Applications
Havlena, Vojtěch ; Jančar, Petr (oponent) ; Mayr, Richard (oponent) ; Esparza, Javier (oponent) ; Vojnar, Tomáš (vedoucí práce)
This thesis develops efficient techniques for finite automata and their applications. In particular, we focus on finite automata in network intrusion detection and automata in decision procedures and verification. In the first part of the thesis, we propose techniques of approximate reduction of nondeterministic automata decreasing consumption of resources of hardware-accelerated deep packet inspection. The second part is devoted to automata in decision procedures, in particular, to weak monadic second-order logic of k successors (WSkS) and the theory of strings. We propose a novel decision procedure for WS2S based on automata terms allowing one to effectively prune the state space. Further, we study techniques of WSkS formulae preprocessing intended to reduce the sizes of constructed intermediate automata. Moreover, we employ automata in a decision procedure of the theory of strings for efficient handling of the proof graph. The last part of the thesis then proposes optimizations in rank-based Buchi automata complementation reducing the number of generated states during the construction.
