In this paper we present a translation principle, called the axiomatic translation, for reducing propositional modal logics with background theories, including triangular propertie...
The collision problem is to decide whether a function X : {1, . . . , n} {1, . . . , n} is one-to-one or two-to-one, given that one of these is the case. We show a lower bound of...
In abstract algebra, a structure is said to be Noetherian if it does not admit infinite strictly ascending chains of congruences. In this paper, we adapt this notion to first-ord...
In the analysis of cryptographic protocols, a treacherous set of terms is one from which an intruder can get access to what was intended to be secret, by adding on to the top of a ...
If a fixed exponentially decreasing probability distribution function is used to model every object’s lifetime, then the age of an object gives no information about its future ...
