A parallel file may be physically stored on several independent disks and logically partitioned by several processors. This paper presents general algorithms for mapping between t...
We explore the possibility of a logic where a conclusion substantially improves over its premise(s): Specifically, we intend to rule out inference steps such that the premise conv...
The quotient operation is a standard feature of set theory, where a set is partitioned into subsets by an equivalence relation. We reinterpret this idea for higher order logic, whe...
Several logical languages have been considered in AI for encoding compactly preference relations over a set of alternatives. In this paper, we analyze both the expressiveness and ...
Abstract. We show that certain input-output relations, termed inductive invariants are of central importance for termination proofs of algorithms defined by nested recursion. Indu...
