Initial algebra semantics is a cornerstone of the theory of modern functional programming languages. For each inductive data type, it provides a fold combinator encapsulating struc...
We define the class of single-parent heap systems, which rely on a singly-linked heap in order to model destructive updates on tree structures. This encoding has the advantage of ...
Refactoring of software systems represents an fundamental way of improving their quality properties. Large-scale refactoring has to be performed at an architectural level to execu...
New applications of data mining, such as in biology, bioinformatics, or sociology, are faced with large datasets structured as graphs. We present an efficient algorithm for minin...
— This paper applies a recently developed neural network called plausible neural network (PNN) to function approximation. Instead of using error correction, PNN estimates the mut...
