Abstract. We present a general theory that exploits simulation relations on transition systems to obtain antichain algorithms for solving the reachability and repeated reachability...
We consider the problem of computing numerical invariants of programs by abstract interpretation. Our method eschews two traditional sources of imprecision: (i) the use of widenin...
Let V be a set of points in a d-dimensional lp-metric space. Let s, t ∈ V and let L be any real number. An L-bounded leg path from s to t is an ordered set of points which conne...
Many AI problems can be modeled as constraint satisfaction problems (CSP), but many of them are actually dynamic: the set of constraints to consider evolves because of the environ...
Heuristics are an increasingly popular solution method for combinatorial optimization problems. Heuristic use often frees the modeler from some of the restrictions placed on class...
