We prove that tree isomorphism is not expressible in the language (FO + TC + COUNT). This is surprising since in the presence of ordering the language captures NL, whereas tree is...
We consider boolean functions over n variables. Any such function can be represented (and computed) by a complete binary tree with and or or in the internal nodes and a literal in...
We are interested in the expressiveness of constraints represented by general first order formulae, with equality as unique relation symbol and function symbols taken from an infi...
Deduction modulo consists in presenting a theory through rewrite rules to support automatic and interactive proof search. It induces proof search methods based on narrowing, such a...
In this paper, we present an efficient method to solve the obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimum tree (OARSMT) problem optimally. Our work is a major improvement over the w...
