The HOL system is an LCF-style mechanized proof-assistant for conducting proofs in higher order logic. This paper discusses a proposal to extend the primitive basis of the logic un...
In a seminal paper, Lin and Reiter introduced a modeltheoretic definition for the progression of the initial knowledge base of a basic action theory. This definition comes with a ...
Tables are a ubiquitous form of communication. While everyone seems to know what a table is, a precise, analytical definition of "tabularity" remains elusive because some...

We introduce a new normal form, called essential tuple normal form (ETNF), for relations in a relational database where the constraints are given by functional dependencies and jo...
Abstract. Based on inductive definitions, we develop an automated tool for defining partial recursive functions in Higher-Order Logic and providing appropriate reasoning tools for ...
