Abstract. We relate two well-studied methodologies in deductive verification of operationally modeled sequential programs, namely the use of inductive invariants and clock functio...
We investigate optimal control problems subject to mixed control-state constraints. The necessary conditions are stated in terms of a local minimum principle. By use of the Fischer...
Abstract. Short cut fusion is a particular program transformation technique which uses a single, local transformation — called the foldr-build rule — to remove certain intermed...
The goal of program transformation is to improve efficiency while preserving meaning. One of the best known transformation techniques is Burstall and Darlington’s unfold-fold me...
Program Obfuscation is the problem of transforming a program into one which is functionally equivalent, yet whose inner workings are completely unintelligible to an adversary. Des...
