1 The Vlue 1 Prolem for Proilistic Automt Bruxelles Nthnël Fijlkow LIAFA, Université Denis Diderot - Pris 7, Frnce Institute of Informtics, Wrsw University, Polnd nth@lif.univ-pris-diderot.fr June 20th, 2014

2 Proilistic utomt (Rin, 1963), 1 2, 0.4, P A : A [0, 1] P A (w) is the proility tht run for w ends up in F

3 The vlue 1 prolem 2 This tlk is out the vlue 1 prolem: INPUT:Aproilistic utomton OUTPUT: for ll ε > 0, there exists w A,P A (w) 1 ε. In other words, define vl(a) = sup w A P A (w), is vl(a) = 1?

4 The vlue 1 prolem 2 This tlk is out the vlue 1 prolem: INPUT:Aproilistic utomton OUTPUT: for ll ε > 0, there exists w A,P A (w) 1 ε. In other words, define vl(a) = sup w A P A (w), is vl(a) = 1? It is undecidle (Gimert nd Oulhdj, 2010). But to wht extent?

5 Ojective 3 Construct n lgorithm to decide the vlue 1 prolem, which is often correct.

6 Ojective 3 Construct n lgorithm to decide the vlue 1 prolem, which is often correct. Quntify how often.

11 At first thought 4 Does the undecidility come from the numericl vlues?

12 At first thought 4 Does the undecidility come from the numericl vlues? Consider numerless proilistic utomt: 1 2 Two decision prolems: for ll, vl(a[ ]) = 1, there exists, such tht vl(a[ ]) = 1.

13 No future (in this direction) 5 Theorem (F., Horn, Gimert nd Oulhdj) There is no lgorithm such tht: On input A ( non-deterministic utomton), if for ll, vl(a[ ]) = 1 then YES, if for ll, vl(a[ ]) < 1 then NO, nything in the other cses.

22 Stiliztion monoids (Colcomet) 7 This is n lgeric structure with two opertions: inry composition stiliztion, denoted.

23 Boolen mtrices representtions 8, 0 1 F, = = I u F = 1 if nd only if P A (u) > 0

24 Defining stiliztion = ( In, the stte 1 is trnsient nd the stte 2 is recurrent. )

25 Defining stiliztion = ( ) = ( In, the stte 1 is trnsient nd the stte 2 is recurrent. )

26 Defining stiliztion = ( ) = ( In, the stte 1 is trnsient nd the stte 2 is recurrent. ) { M 1 if M(s, t) = 1 nd t recurrent in M, (s, t) = 0 otherwise.

27 The Mrkov Monoid Algorithm 10 Compute monoid inside the finite monoid M Q Q ({0, 1},, ). Compute for A: { 1 if PA (s t) > 0, (s, t) = 0 otherwise. Close under product nd stiliztion.

28 The Mrkov Monoid Algorithm 10 Compute monoid inside the finite monoid M Q Q ({0, 1},, ). Compute for A: { 1 if PA (s t) > 0, (s, t) = 0 otherwise. Close under product nd stiliztion. If there exists mtrix M such tht t Q, M(s 0, t) = 1 t F then A hs vlue 1, otherwise A does not hve vlue 1.

29 Correctness 11 Theorem If there exists mtrix M such tht then A hs vlue 1. t Q, M(s 0, t) = 1 t F

30 Correctness 11 Theorem If there exists mtrix M such tht then A hs vlue 1. t Q, M(s 0, t) = 1 t F But the vlue 1 prolem is undecidle, so...

31 No completeness,, 12 L 2 R 2, 1 x 0, x L 1 R 1, x, 1 2, 1 2 Left nd right prts re symmetric, so for ll M:, 1 x M(0, L 2 ) = 1 M(0, R 2 ) = 1. Yet: it hs vlue 1 if nd only if x > 1 2.

32 A lek,

33 A lek,

34 A lek, ε There is lek from 1 to 2.

35 A lek, There is lek from 1 to 2. Definition An utomton A is lektight if it hs no lek.

36 Lektight utomt 14 Theorem (F.,Gimert nd Oulhdj 2012) The lgorithm is complete for lektight utomt. Hence, the vlue 1 prolem is decidle for lektight utomt. The proof relies on Simon s fctoriztion forest theorem.

46 Prostochstic words 20 Definition (u n ) n N converges if for every A, the limit lim n P A (u n ) exists.

47 Prostochstic words 20 Definition (u n ) n N converges if for every A, the limit lim n P A (u n ) exists. Definition Two (converging) sequences (u n ) n N nd (v n ) n N re equivlent if for every A, lim n P A (u n ) > 0 lim n P A (v n ) > 0.
