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.
Abstract: We investigate extensions of temporal logic by connectives defined by finite automata on infinite words. We consider three different logics, corresponding to three different types of acceptance conditions (finite, looping, and repeating) for the automata. It turns out, however that these logics all have the same expressive power and that their decision problems are all PSPACE-complete. We also investigate connectives defined by alternating automata and show that they do not increase the expressive power of the logic or the complexity of the decision problem.

TL;DR: It is proved that the reachability problem is undecidable for timed automata augmented with a single stopwatch, and an (optimal) PSPACE reachability algorithm is given for the case of initialized rectangular automata.

TL;DR: An algorithm is given for minimizing the number of states in a finite automaton or for determining if two finite automata are equivalent and the running time is bounded by k n log n.
Abstract: An algorithm is given for minimizing the number of states in a finite automaton or for determining if two finite automata are equivalent. The asymptotic running time of the algorithm is bounded by k n log n where k is some constant and n is the number of states. The constant k depends linearly on the size of the input alphabet.

TL;DR: Lyapunov's theorem on stability via linearization and LaSalle's invariance principle are generalized to hybrid automata and a class of hybrids whose solutions depend continuously on the initial state is characterized.
Abstract: Hybrid automata provide a language for modeling and analyzing digital and analogue computations in real-time systems. Hybrid automata are studied here from a dynamical systems perspective. Necessary and sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions are derived and a class of hybrid automata whose solutions depend continuously on the initial state is characterized. The results on existence, uniqueness, and continuity serve as a starting point for stability analysis. Lyapunov's theorem on stability via linearization and LaSalle's invariance principle are generalized to hybrid automata.

TL;DR: The question of whether there is an automaton with n states which agrees with a finite set D of data is shown to be NP-complete, although identification-in-the-limit of finite automata is possible in polynomial time as a function of the size of D.
Abstract: The question of whether there is an automaton with n states which agrees with a finite set D of data is shown to be NP-complete, although identification-in-the-limit of finite automata is possible in polynomial time as a function of the size of D. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for D to be realizable by an automaton whose states are reachable from the initial state by a given set T of input strings. Although this question is also NP-complete, these conditions suggest heuristic approaches. Even if a solution to this problem were available, it is shown that finding a minimal set T does not necessarily give the smallest possible T.
