  The reachability problem in lossy counter machines is the best-known ACKERMANN-complete problem and has been used to establish most of the ACKERMANN-hardness statements in the literature. This hides however a complexity gap when the number of counters is fixed. I've explained on the blackboard how to close this gap and prove F_d-completeness for machines with d counters, which provides the first known uncontrived problems complete for the fast-growing complexity classes at levels 3 < d < ω. This goes through antichain factorisations of bad sequences and analysing the length of controlled antichains. Here is the paper.

• Séminaire de l'équipe Méthodes Formelles, 11am, November 13, 2018, LaBRI, Bordeaux, France.
  Following Sénizergues' seminal results twenty years ago on the decidability of language equivalence of deterministic pushdown automata and of (weak) bisimilation equivalence of (epsilon-popping) pushshdown automata, several works have attempted to provide complexity bounds for these problems. For instance, some significant simplifications over the original proofs were provided by Stirling and Jančar, using in particular the formalism of first-order grammars instead of pushdown automata, and resulting in Tower upper bounds for the language equivalence problem in deterministic systems. But no complexity bounds were known for the bisimulation equivalence problem. In this talk, I covered some work in progress with Petr Jančar. Using a recent reformulation of the proofs for checking bisimulation equivalence as a black box, I showed how to provide Ackermannian upper bounds for the crucial step, which is the computation of a so-called `candidate basis'. This entails that the decision problem itself is Ackermann-complete, thanks to a lower bound proven by Jančar a few years ago; this is the first completeness result in this line of work.

• LSV's 20th Anniversary, 3:15pm, May 12, 2017, ENS Cachan, Cachan, France.
  A typical application of well-quasi-orders is program termination, which can be shown by mapping any execution sequence of a program to a so-called bad sequence of longer or equal length: as bad sequences are finite, so are executions, and this shows that the program terminates. I showed how such termination proofs can be instrumented to yield complexity upper bounds, by considering the example of the decomposition algorithm for reachability in vector addition systems. Here are the slides.

• Dagstuhl Seminar 16031 Well Quasi-Orders in Computer Science, 4:30pm, January 21, 2016, Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany.
  Well-quasi-orders provide termination or finiteness arguments for many algorithms, and miniaturised versions can furthermore be employed to prove complexity upper bounds for those algorithms. We have however an issue with these bounds: they go way beyond the familiar complexity classes used in complexity theory. I discussed a definition of complexity classes suitable for the task. In particular, unlike the subrecursive classes they are based on, those classes support the usual notions of reduction and completeness. The talk was based on the article Complexity hierarchies beyond Elementary.
• Reading Group on Logic, Automata, Algebra and Games, 10:30am, January 7, 2016, Université Paris-Diderot, France.
  Chalk talk on ideals in VAS reachability. The decidability of the reachability problem for vector addition systems is a notoriously difficult result. First shown by Mayr in 1981 after a decade of unsuccessful attempts and partial results, its proof has been simplified and refined several times, by Kosaraju and Lambert, and re-proven by very different techniques by Leroux in 2011. The principles behind the original proof remained however obscure. In this seminar, I presented the ideas behind the algorithms of Mayr, Kosaraju, and Lambert (the KLM algorithm) in the light of ideals of well-quasi-orders. The interest here is that ideals provide a semantics to the structures manipulated in the KLM algorithm, bringing some new understanding to its proof of correctness. This approach is based on a joint work with Jérôme Leroux (LaBRI) presented at LICS'15.

• Reading Group on Logic, Automata, Algebra and Games, 10:30am, December 3, 2015, Université Paris-Diderot.
  Chalk talk on ideals of well-quasi-orders. These irreducible downwards-closed sets of elements were first invented in the 1970's but rediscovered in recent years in the theory of well-structured transition systems, notably by Finkel and Goubault-Larrecq. Ideals provide indeed finite effective representations of downwards-closed sets, in the same way as bases of minimal elements provide representations of upwards-closed sets. After defining ideals and establishing some of their properties, I illustrated their use in a concrete setting. I presented some recent results by Czerwiński, Martens, van Rooijen, and Zeitoun (FCT'15) on the decidability of piecewise-testable separability in the light of ideals. This seminar was also a warm-up for the next seminar on reachability in vector addition systems.

• Oxford Verification Seminar, 11am, May 6, 2015, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.
  I gave my second Leverhulme Lecture on ideal decompositions of downward-closed sets, and in particular on how they provide a new understanding of the structures and computations defined in the reachability algorithms for VAS developped by Mayr (1981), Kosaraju (1982), and Lambert (1992).
