TLDR
It is shown that any system of equations of the form X i = ⋃ α∈A α·F i,a ∪δ i i=1,…,n has a unique solution which, moreover, is regular.

Reasoning about Infinite Computations

TL;DR: This work investigates extensions of temporal logic by connectives defined by finite automata on infinite words and shows that they do not increase the expressive power of the logic or the complexity of the decision problem.

An automata-theoretic approach to linear temporal logic

TL;DR: The automata-theoretic approach to linear temporal logic as discussed by the authors uses the theory of automata as a unifying paradigm for program specification, verification, and synthesis Both programs and specifications are in essence descriptions of computations These computations can be viewed as words over some alphabet.

Linear temporal logic and linear dynamic logic on finite traces

TL;DR: This paper shows that LTLf, i.e., LTL under this assumption, is less expressive than what might appear at first sight, and proposes a logic, LDLf for Linear Dynamic Logic over finite traces, which borrows the syntax from Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL), but is interpreted over finite trace.

Partial derivatives of regular expressions and finite automaton constructions

TL;DR: A constructive definition of partial derivatives is given, their properties are studied, and they are employed to develop a new algorithm for turning regular expressions into relatively small NFA and to provide certain improvements to Brzozowski's algorithm constructing DFA.

Reasoning about infinite computation paths

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate extensions of temporal logic by finite automata on infinite words and give three different types of acceptance conditions (finite, looping and repeating) that one can give for these automata.

On parallelism in turing machines

Dexter Kozen
TL;DR: A natural characterization of the polynomial time hierarchy of Stockmeyer and Meyer in terms of parallel machines is given, and a generalization of Saviten's result NONDET-L(n)-SPACE ⊆ L(n)2-SPACE is given.

Delayed-logic and finite-state machines

Dean N. Arden
TL;DR: The paper's main results hinge on certain properties of a new type of state subgraph, and on an indirect application of permutation groups to the state-pair transition problem.
