We begin by observing that (discrete-time) QuasiBirth-Death Processes (QBDs) are equivalent, in a precise sense, to (discrete-time) probabilistic 1-Counter Automata (p1CAs), and b...
Monotone systems of polynomial equations (MSPEs) are systems of fixed-point equations X1 = f1(X1, . . . , Xn), . . . , Xn = fn(X1, . . . , Xn) where each fi is a polynomial with p...

We study generalized fixed-point equations over idempotent semirings and provide an efficient algorithm for the detection whether a sequence of Kleene's iterations stabilizes ...
We introduce asynchronous dynamic pushdown networks (ADPN), a new model for multithreaded programs in which pushdown systems communicate via shared memory. ADPN generalizes both CP...
