Weighted Logics and Weighted Simple Automata for Context-Free Languages of Infinite Words
… provided a seminal connection between monadic second-order logic and finite automata for both finite and infinite words. This BET- Theorem has been extended by Lautemann, Schwentick and Thérien to context-free languages by introducing a monadic second-order logic with an additional …

Easy instances for model checking
… intimately related to the expressibility of the logical language in question. We investigate the parameterized complexity of queries expressible in monadic second order logic over tree-like structures (structures with bounded tree-width) and first order logic over locally tree-like structures. …

Modular data structure verification
… write Jahob specifications in classical higher-order logic (HOL); Jahob reduces the verification problem to deciding the validity of HOL formulas. I present a new method for proving HOL formulas by combining automated reasoning techniques. My method consists of 1) splitting formulas into …

Expressiveness and Decidability of Weighted Automata and Weighted Logics
… regular grammars, regular expressions, and monadic second order (MSO) logic. To increase expressiveness, the fundamental idea underlying finite automata and regular languages was also extended to describe not only languages of strings, or words, but also of infinite words by Büchi and …

Automata-based decision procedures for weak arithmetics
… <br>arithmetic. A prominent example is the weak monadic second-order logic <br>of one successor, WS1S for short, which is tightly connected to <br>automata over finite words. Nowadays, automata have also emerged as a <br>tool for effectively mechanizing decision procedures for such logical …

Automatic techniques for proving correctness of heap-manipulating programs
… verification. This dissertation presents two logic-based automatic software verification systems, namely Strand and Dryad, that help in the task of verification of heap-manipulating programs, which is one of the most complex aspects of modern software that eludes automatic verification. Strand …
