In this paper, we develop a general theory of fixed point combinators, in higher-order logic equipped with Hilbert’s epsilon operator. This combinator allows for a direct and e...
The fundamental operation of dominance testing, i.e., determining if one alternative is preferred to another, is in general very hard for methods of reasoning with qualitative cond...
Abstract. Symbolic bisimulations were introduced as a mean to define value-passing process calculi using smaller, possibly finite labelled transition systems, equipped with symboli...
In the context of the modular and incremental development of complex systems, viewed as interconnections of interacting components, new dimensions and new problems arise in the ca...
This paper sheds a new light on the split decomposition theory and T-theory from the viewpoint of convex analysis and polyhedral geometry. By regarding finite metrics as discrete ...
