Forward Analysis for WSTS, Part I: Completions
Well-structured transition systems provide the right foundation to compute a finite basis of the set of predecessors of the upward closure of a state. The dual problem, to compute...

Randomness on Computable Probability Spaces - A Dynamical Point of View
We extend the notion of randomness (in the version introduced by Schnorr) to computable Probability Spaces and compare it to a dynamical notion of randomness: typicality. Roughly, ...

Weak MSO with the Unbounding Quantifier
Abstract. A new class of languages of infinite words is introduced, called the maxregular languages, extending the class of ω-regular languages. The class has two equivalent desc...

Quantum Query Complexity of Multilinear Identity Testing
Motivated by the quantum algorithm for testing commutativity of black-box groups (Magniez and Nayak, 2007), we study the following problem: Given a black-box finite ring by an add...

Nonclairvoyant Speed Scaling for Flow and Energy
We study online nonclairvoyant speed scaling to minimize total flow time plus energy. We first consider the traditional model where the power function is P(s) = sα . We give a ...
