“Faster, Better, Cheaper” (FBC) was a systems development methodology used by NASA in the 1990s. While usually a deprecated practice, we find that, with certain caveats, it is...
In previous work, the so-called Temporal Equilibrium Logic (TEL) was introduced. This formalism provides an extension of the Answer Set semantics for logic programs to arbirary the...
Let f(X, Y ) ∈ Z[X, Y ] be an irreducible polynomial over Q. We give a Las Vegas absolute irreducibility test based on a property of the Newton polytope of f, or more precisely,...
Let g1, . . . , gk be tropical polynomials in n variables with Newton polytopes P1, . . . , Pk. We study combinatorial questions on the intersection of the tropical hypersurfaces d...
The concept of stigmergy provides a simple framework for interaction and coordination in multi-agent systems. However, determining the global system behavior that will arise from ...
