Abstract
We present a general method for proving DP-hardness of equivalence-checking problems on one-counter automata. For this we show a reduction of the SAT-UNSAT problem to the truth problem for a fragment of (Presburger) arithmetic. The fragment contains only special formulas with one free variable, and is particularly apt for transforming to simulation-like equivalences on one-counter automata. In this way we show that the membership problem for any relation subsuming bisimilarity and subsumed by simulation preorder is DP-hard (even) for one-counter nets (where the counter cannot be tested for zero). We also show DP-hardness for deciding simulation between one-counter automata and finite-state systems (in both directions).
