Performance evaluation of (max,+) automata

TL;DR: This formalism, which extends both conventional automata and (max,+) linear representations, covers a class of systems with synchronization phenomena and variable schedules and considers performance evaluation in the worst, mean, and optimal cases.

The Theory of Stabilisation Monoids and Regular Cost Functions

TL;DR: The notion of regular cost functions is introduced: a quantitative extension to the standard theory of regular languages, and a suitable notion of recognisability by stabilisation monoids is provided, and closure and decidability results are provided.

Regular Functions and Cost Register Automata

TL;DR: A deterministic model for associating costs with strings that is parameterized by operations of interest, a notion of regularity that provides a yardstick to measure expressiveness, and decision problems and theoretical properties of resulting classes of cost functions are proposed.

Distance desert automata and the star height problem

TL;DR: It is shown that it is decidable in time complexity whether the language accepted by an n-state non-deterministic automaton is of star height one, which is the first ever complexity result for the star heightOne problem.

Limitedness theorem on finite automata with distance functions

TL;DR: There exists an algorithm for deciding whether or not an arbitrary finite automaton with a distance function is limited in distance, and it is shown that this paper shows that this algorithm is available.

Recognizable Sets with Multiplicities in the Tropical Semiring

TL;DR: The last ten years saw the emergence of some results about recognizable subsets of a free monoid with multiplicities in the Min-Plus semiring that were motivated throughout by applications such as the finite power property, Eggan's classical star height problem and the measure of the nondeterministic complexity of finite automata.
