Disunification is the problem of deciding satisfiability of a system of equations and disequations with respect to a given equational theory. In this paper we study the disunifica...
This paper connects two fundamental ideas from theoretical computer science: hard-core set construction, a type of hardness amplification from computational complexity, and boosti...
Abstract. In the past, some information technologies (IT) have quickly been adopted by the engineering practice while the implementation of others has been slower. In the paper, th...
Memetic algorithms are evolutionary algorithms incorporating local search to increase exploitation. This hybridization has been fruitful in countless applications. However, theory...
In this paper we propose a version of default logic with the following two properties: (1) defaults with mutually inconsistent justications are never used together in constructing ...
