TLDR
In this paper, the membership problem is shown to be P-complete, provided a given automaton is deterministic, and each of the other problems is NP-complete for general finite-memory automata.

Finite state machines for strings over infinite alphabets

TL;DR: This work investigates the expressiveness and complexity of the automata and their connection to the logics, as well as standard decision problems of Kaminski and Francez on register automata.

LTL with the freeze quantifier and register automata

TL;DR: It is proved that surprisingly, over infinite data words, LTLdarr without the 'until' operator, as well as nonemptiness of one-way universal register automata, are undecidable even when there is only 1 register.

Automata and logics for words and trees over an infinite alphabet

TL;DR: This paper survey several know results on automata and logics manipulating data words and data trees, the focus being on their relative expressive power and decidability.

LTL with the Freeze Quantifier and Register Automata

TL;DR: In this paper, a complete complexity table for logic fragments defined by varying the set of temporal operators and the number of registers is presented. But it is not decidable over finite data words, since adding past-time operators or 1 more register causes undecidability.

Querying Graphs with Data

TL;DR: A family of languages that enable combination of data and topology querying for graph databases are presented, and it is shown that it includes efficient and highly expressive formalisms for querying both the structure of the data and the data itself.

Computational Complexity

TL;DR: Computational complexity is the realm of mathematical models and techniques for establishing impossibility proofs for proving formally that there can be no algorithm for the given problem which runs faster than the current one.

Finite-memory automata

TL;DR: This model is based on replacing the equality test by substitution and appears to be a natural generalization of the classical Rabin-Scott finite-state automata and possesses many of their closure and decision properties.

The monotone and planar circuit value problems are log space complete for P

TL;DR: It is shown that Ladner's simulation of Turing mac]hines by boolean circuits seems to require an "adequate" set of gates, such as AND and NOT, but the same simulation is possible with monotone circuits using AND and OR gates only.
