We consider the problem of planning in a stochastic and discounted environment with a limited numerical budget. More precisely, we investigate strategies exploring the set of poss...
Abstract. We show how to generate well-founded and stable term orderings based on polynomial interpretations over the real numbers. Monotonicity (another usual requirement in termi...
A plane algebraic curve can be represented as the zero-set of a polynomial in two - or if one takes homogenous coordinates: three - variables. The coefficients of the polynomial de...
Many approaches to software verification are currently semi-automatic: a human must provide key logical insights — e.g., loop invariants, class invariants, and frame axioms tha...
