LMCS vol.Volume 13, Issue 32017匹配度 1/10 · 该论文属于纯自动机理论与Kleene代数/形式语义研究,讨论Petri自动机、Kleene定理与EXPSPACE完全性,与用户关注的LLM/Agent、静态分析、浮点程序分析、贝叶斯程序分析均无直接关联。虽然形式验证是用户兴趣之一,但这里并未涉及LLM/Agent改进验证,也未落脚到程序分析或工程落地。引用 10 inbox

一句话:提出 Petri 自动机识别有向标号图,证明对应 Kleene 定理,并确定无单位关系 Kleene 格等式理论为 EXPSPACE-完全。

Kleene 代数公理对语言模型和二元关系模型都是完备的:两个正则表达式识别同一语言当且仅当在二元关系模型中普遍等价。若加入交、逆和全关系运算得到 Kleene allegory,正则语言虽对这些运算封闭,但上述刻画不再成立。本文先借助已有结果,用有向标号图的语言给出新刻画;受 Petri 网启发定义有限自动机模型 Petri 自动机以识别这类图,并证明 Kleene 定理:Petri 自动机可识别的图集恰为扩展正则表达式可定义的图集。由此得到无单位元的关系 Kleene 格等式理论的可判定性,并进一步证明该判定问题是 EXPSPACE-完全的。

问题
Kleene 代数在语言模型和二元关系模型上完备,但在加入交、逆、全关系扩展为 Kleene allegory 后,正则表达式的语言刻画失效;需刻画对应图语言并判定其等式理论。
方法
将有向标号图作为语言,受 Petri 网启发定义有限自动机模型 Petri 自动机,并证明其识别能力恰对应扩展正则表达式,即 Kleene 定理。
评估
本文给出理论证明:Petri 自动机可识别图集等于扩展正则表达式可定义图集,并证明无单位关系 Kleene 格等式理论可判定且判定问题 EXPSPACE-完全。
原文摘要(Abstract)

Kleene algebra axioms are complete with respect to both language models and binary relation models. In particular, two regular expressions recognise the same language if and only if they are universally equivalent in the model of binary relations. We consider Kleene allegories, i.e., Kleene algebras with two additional operations and a constant which are natural in binary relation models: intersection, converse, and the full relation. While regular languages are closed under those operations, the above characterisation breaks. Putting together a few results from the literature, we give a characterisation in terms of languages of directed and labelled graphs. By taking inspiration from Petri nets, we design a finite automata model, Petri automata, allowing to recognise such graphs. We prove a Kleene theorem for this automata model: the sets of graphs recognisable by Petri automata are precisely the sets of graphs definable through the extended regular expressions we consider. Petri automata allow us to obtain decidability of identity-free relational Kleene lattices, i.e., the equational theory generated by binary relations on the signature of regular expressions with intersection, but where one forbids unit. This restriction is used to ensure that the corresponding graphs are acyclic. We actually show that this decision problem is EXPSPACE-complete.
