BACKGROUND The extract from Moringa oleifera seeds is used worldwide, especially in rural areas of developing countries, to treat drinking water.

In 1994 Alur and Dill introduced timed automata and showed that universality was undecidable there. Since then it has been shown that under certain restrictions the problem becomes decidable. But the frontier between decidability and undecidability is still vast. We aim at narrowing this gap considerably. Our main accomplishment is to prove that universality stays undecidable over weakly monoto...
