TLDR
An algorithm which computes the set of descendants of a regular set R, for Thue systems of certain type is given, which allows to improve the known complexity bounds for some extended word problems defined by cancellation rules.

Decidability of Reachability Problems for Classes of Two Counters Automata

TL;DR: A global and comprehensive view of the properties of subclasses of two counters automata for which counters are only accessed through the following operations: increment (+1), decrement (-1), reset (c := 0), transfer (the whole content of counter c is transfered into counter c′), and testing for zero is presented.

The Rational Subset Membership Problem for Groups: A Survey

Markus Lohrey
TL;DR: A survey of decidability and undecidability results for rational subset membership problems for groups is given in this article, where rational subsets of a group G are defined as the smallest class of subsets that contain all finite subsets and are closed with respect to union, product and taking the monoid generated by a set.

The word problem for inverse monoids presented by one idempotent relator

TL;DR: Every congruence class in the free monoid with respect to such a presentation is a deterministic context-free language, and the word problem is solvable by a polynomial-time algorithm.

Some decision problems about controlled rewriting systems

TL;DR: This paper deduces a characterisation of dcfls by means of finitely generated congruences, and studies three decision problems on finite semi-Thue systems, namely the class equivalence problem, the word problem for the syntactic congruence of one class and the partial confluence problem.

Bottom-up rewriting is inverse recognizability preserving

TL;DR: It is shown that bottom-up rewriting effectively inverse-preserves recognizability and the complexity of the underlying construction is analyzed.

On the security of public key protocols

TL;DR: Several models are formulated in which the security of protocols can be discussed precisely, and algorithms and characterizations that can be used to determine protocol security in these models are given.

A Theorem on Boolean Matrices

TL;DR: It is proved the validity of an algorithm whose running time goes up slightly faster than the square of d, the running times of which increase-other things being equal-as the cube of d.

On the security of multi-party ping-pong protocols

TL;DR: It is shown that if p, the number of participants in the protocol, is part of the input then the security problem becomes NP-Hard and Relaxing the definition of a ping-pong protocol so that operators can operate on half words causes theSecurity problem to become undecidable.
