Abstract. Probably the most significant result concerning cut-free sequent calculus proofs in linear logic is the completeness of focused proofs. This completeness theorem has a n...
Monadic least fixed point logic MLFP is a natural logic whose expressiveness lies between that of first-order logic FO and monadic second-order logic MSO. In this paper we take ...
Abstract. In this paper we investigate the existence of a deductive veri cation method based on a logic that describes pointer aliasing. The main idea of such a method is that the ...
We give semantic characterizations of the expressive power of navigational XPath (also called Core XPath) in terms of first order logic. XPath can be used to specify sets of nodes...
Ontologies are set to play a key role in the "Semantic Web", extending syntactic interoperability to semantic interoperability by providing a source of shared and precise...
