We study functional and multivalued dependencies over SQL tables with NOT NULL constraints. Under a no-information interpretation of null values we develop tools for reasoning. We...
In this paper, we present an improved method for decomposing multivariate polynomials. This problem, also known as the Functional Decomposition Problem (FDP) [17, 9, 27], is class...
We present a novel method for state minimization of incompletely-specified finite state machines. Where classic methods simply minimize the number of states, ours directly addre...
Abstract. Even though in Artificial Intelligence, a set of classical logical formulae is often called a belief base, reasoning about beliefs requires more than the language of cla...
Abstract. In the framework of Carter and Wegman, a k-independent hash function maps any k keys independently. It is known that 5independent hashing provides good expected performan...
