We study structures that are automatic with advice. These are structures that admit a presentation by finite automata (over finite or infinite words or trees) with access to an additional input,called an advice. Over finite words, a standard example of a structure that is automatic with advice, but not automatic in the classical sense, is the additive group of rational numbers (Q,+). By using a set of advices rather than a single advice, this leads to the new concept of a parameterised… Expand

On the Complexity of Infinite Advice Strings
The main results explore the connections between classes of advice automatic structures, MSO-transductions and two-way transducers and suggest a closer study of the resulting hierarchy over infinite words. Expand
Uniformly Automatic Classes of Finite Structures
A method is developed to analyze the complexity of uniformly tree-automatic presentations, which allows us to give upper bounds for the runtime of the automata-based model checking algorithm on the presented class. Expand
Comparing the power of advice strings: a notion of complexity for infinite words
The main results explore the connections between classes of advice automatic structures, MSO-transductions and two-way transducers and suggest a closer study of the resulting hierarchy over infinite words. Expand
AUTOMATIC AND POLYNOMIAL-TIME ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURES
• Computer Science, Mathematics
• The Journal of Symbolic Logic
• 2019
This paper shows that the set of Turing machines that represent automata-presentable structures is ${\rm{\Sigma }}_1^1$-complete and uses similar methods to show that there is no reasonable characterisation of the structures with a polynomial-time presentation in the sense of Nerode and Remmel.

It is shown that sets of sets of strings represented by second-order finite automata are closed under the usual Boolean operations, such as union, intersection, difference and even under a suitable notion of complementation, and emptiness of intersection and inclusion are decidable. Expand
Automatic Structures: Twenty Years Later

On the Width of Regular Classes of Finite Structures
• Computer Science, Mathematics
• CADE
• 2019
It is shown that the problem of counting satisfying assignments for a first-order logic formula in a structure of constant width is fixed parameter tractable when parameterized by the width parameter and can be solved in quadratic time with respect to the length of the input representation of the structure.
