Abstract. This paper presents the foundations for using automated deduction technology in static program analysis. The central principle is the use of logical lattices ? a class of...
ABSTRACT. It has long been recognized that the concept of inconsistency is a central part of commonsense reasoning. In this issue, a number of authors have explored the idea of rea...
now of a number of ways of developing Real Analysis on a basis of abstraction principles and second-order logic. One, outlined by Shapiro in his contribution to this volume, mimic...
This paper introduces a logic for a class of properties - in particular variable aliasing - used in static analysis of logic programs. The logic is shown to be sound, complete and ...
