On Existentially First-Order Definable Languages and Their Relation to NP

Bernd Borchert, Dietrich Kuske, Frank Stephan (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Under the assumption that the Polynomial-Time Hierarchy does not collapse we show for a regular language L: the unbalanced polynomial-time leaf language class determined by L equals  iff L is existentially but not quantifierfree definable in FO[<, min, max, +1, −1]. Furthermore, no such class lies properly between NP and co-1-NP or NP⊕co-NP. The proofs rely on a result of Pin and Weil characterizing the automata of existentially first-order definable languages.

On the continuity set of an Omega rational function

Olivier Carton, Olivier Finkel, Pierre Simonnet (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

In this paper, we study the continuity of rational functions realized by Büchi finite state transducers. It has been shown by Prieur that it can be decided whether such a function is continuous. We prove here that surprisingly, it cannot be decided whether such a function f has at least one point of continuity and that its continuity set C(f) cannot be computed. In the case of a synchronous rational function, we show that its continuity set is rational and that it can be computed. Furthermore...

On the topological complexity of infinitary rational relations

Olivier Finkel (2003)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We prove in this paper that there exists some infinitary rational relations which are analytic but non Borel sets, giving an answer to a question of Simonnet [20].
