Much research has been done on techniques for watermarking relational databases and XML documents, where the process of embedding information shouldn't distort query outputs too much. Recently, techniques have been proposed to watermark some classes of relational structures preserving first-order and monadic second order queries. For relational structures whose Gaifman graphs have bounded degree, watermarking can be done preserving first-order queries. \u0000We extend this line of work and study watermarking schemes for other classes of structures. We prove that for relational structures whose Gaifman graphs belong to a class of graphs that have locally bounded tree-width and is closed under minors, watermarking schemes exist that preserve first-order queries. We use previously known properties of logical formulas and graphs, and build on them with some technical work to make them work in our context. This constitutes a part of the first steps to understand the extent to which techniques from algorithm design and computational learning theory can be adapted for watermarking.","PeriodicalId":175000,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science","volume":"36 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114043801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This raises the question whether under mild assumptions, regular separability can be reduced to intersection emptiness and vice-versa. \u0000We present counterexamples showing that none of the two problems can be reduced to the other.

We show that emptiness becomes undecidable in the non-deterministic case. However, it is PSpace-C when the number of visits to any input position is bounded and the semi-linear set is given as an existential Presburger formula. We also give tight complexity bounds for the inclusion, equivalence and universality problems.

In this paper we present a theory of minimisation for event structures. Working in a class of event structures that generalises many stable event structure models in the literature (e.g., prime, asymmetric, flow and bundle event structures), we study a notion of behaviour-preserving quotient, referred to as a folding, taking (hereditary) history preserving bisimilarity as a reference behavioural equivalence. We show that for any event structure a folding producing a uniquely determined minimal quotient always exists. We observe that each event structure can be seen as the folding of a prime event structure, and that all foldings between general event structures arise from foldings of (suitably defined) corresponding prime event structures. This gives a special relevance to foldings in the class of prime event structures, which are studied in detail. We identify folding conditions for prime and asymmetric event structures, and show that also prime event structures always admit a unique minimal quotient (while this is not the case for various other event structure models).","PeriodicalId":175000,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115143654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, this problem found several unexpected applications in particular in the theory of population protocols.
