This fundamental problem is known to be undecidable for $mathbb{Z}^{4 times 4}$ and decidable for $mathbb{Z}^{2 times 2}$. The Identity Problem has been recently shown to be in polynomial time by Dong for the Heisenberg group over complex numbers in any fixed dimension with the use of Lie algebra and the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula. We develop alternative proof techniques for the problem making a step forward towards more general problems such as the Membership Problem. We extend our techniques to show that the fundamental problem of determining if a given set of Heisenberg matrices generates a group, can also be decided in polynomial time.","PeriodicalId":404583,"journal":{"name":"Reachability Problems","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126372236","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}

Furthermore, these trajectories exhibit statistical properties similar to random walks. In this study, we investigate a generalized version of the reachability problem known as ARRIVAL in Path Multigraphs, which involves predicting the number of particles that will reach designated target vertices. We show that this problem is in NP and co-NP in the general case. However, we exhibit algebraic invariants for Path Multigraphs that allow us to solve the problem efficiently, even for an exponential configuration of particles. These invariants are based on harmonic functions and are connected to the decomposition of integers in rational bases.","PeriodicalId":404583,"journal":{"name":"Reachability Problems","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127142289","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}

More precisely, we consider the problem of deciding, given a number $p$ (defining a range-bound) and two words $v$ and $w$, whether there exists a factor $w[i:i+p-1]$ (or, in other words, a range of length $p$) of $w$ having $v$ as subsequence (i.,e., $v$ occurs as a subsequence in the bounded range $w[i:i+p-1]$). We give matching upper and lower quadratic bounds for the time complexity of this problem. Further, we consider a series of algorithmic problems in this setting, in which, for given integers $k$, $p$ and a word $w$, we analyse the set $p$-Subseq$_{k}(w)$ of all words of length $k$ which occur as subsequence of some factor of length $p$ of $w$. Among these, we consider the $k$-universality problem, the $k$-equivalence problem, as well as problems related to absent subsequences. Surprisingly, unlike the case of the classical model of subsequences in words where such problems have efficient solutions in general, we show that most of these problems become intractable in the new setting when subsequences in bounded ranges are considered. Finally, we provide an example of how some of our results can be applied to subsequence matching problems for circular words.","PeriodicalId":404583,"journal":{"name":"Reachability Problems","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114331925","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}

We show that reachability games for order-n programs can be reduced to may-reachability problems for order(n + 1) programs, and vice versa. We formalize the reductions by using higher-order fixpoint logic and prove their correctness. We also discuss applications of the reductions to higher-order program verification.","PeriodicalId":404583,"journal":{"name":"Reachability Problems","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129649187","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}
