When Model-Checking Freeze LTL over Counter Machines Becomes Decidable ⋆
"... Abstract. We study the decidability status of model-checking freeze LTL over various subclasses of counter machines for which the reachability problem is known to be decidable (reversal-bounded counter machines, vector additions systems with states, flat counter machines, one-counter machines).

Abstract. We study the decidability status of model-checking freeze LTL over various subclasses of counter machines for which the reachability problem is known to be decidable (reversal-bounded counter machines, vector additions systems with states, flat counter machines, one-counter machines). In freeze LTL, a register can store a counter value and at some future position an equality test can be done between a register and a counter value. Herein, we complete an earlier work started on one-counter machines by considering other subclasses of counter machines, and especially the class of reversal-bounded counter machines. This gives us the opportuniy to provide a systematic classification that distinguishes determinism vs. nondeterminism and we consider subclasses of formulae by restricting the set of atomic formulae or/and the polarity of the occurrences of the freeze operators, leading to the flat fragment. 1
Branching-Time Model Checking of Parametric One-Counter Automata
"... Abstract. We study the computational complexity of model checking EF logic and modal logic on parametric one-counter automata (POCA). A POCA is a onecounter automaton whose counter updates are either integer values encoded in binary or integer-valued parameters. Given a formula and a configuration o ..."

Abstract. We study the computational complexity of model checking EF logic and modal logic on parametric one-counter automata (POCA). A POCA is a onecounter automaton whose counter updates are either integer values encoded in binary or integer-valued parameters. Given a formula and a configuration of a POCA, the model-checking problem asks whether the formula is true in this configuration for all possible valuations of the parameters. We show that this problem is undecidable for EF logic via reduction from Hilbert’s tenth problem, however for modal logic we prove PSPACE-completeness. Obtaining the PSPACE upper bound involves analysing systems of linear Diophantine inequalities of exponential size that admit solutions of polynomial size. Finally, we show that model checking EF logic on POCA without parameters is PSPACE-complete. 1
