With the purpose of unifying a number of approaches to energy problems found in the literature, we introduce generalized energy automata. These are finite automata whose edges are labeled with energy functions that define how energy levels evolve during transitions. Uncovering a close connection between energy problems and reachability and Buchi acceptance for semiring-weighted automata, we show that these generalized energy problems are decidable. We also provide complexity results for…

### Verification for Timed Automata Extended with Unbounded Discrete Data Structures

The goal of this paper is to identify subclasses of timed pushdown automata for which the language inclusion problem and related problems are decidable and obtain a strong model that may be used to model real-time programs with procedure calls.

The well-quasi-ordering that defines well-structured transition systems (WSTS) is shown not to be the weakest hypothesis that implies decidability of the coverability problem, and coverability decidable for monotone transition systems that only require the absence of infinite antichains.

• 2001
This paper proves decidability of the minimum-cost reachability problem by offering an algorithmic solution, which is based on a combination of branch-and-bound techniques and a new notion of priced regions, which allows symbolic representation and manipulation of reachable states together with the cost of reaching them.
