We discuss fault equivalence and dominance relations for multiple output combinational circuits. The conventional definition for equivalence says that “Two faults are equivalen...
We introduce tree-width for first order formulae , fotw(). We show that computing fotw is fixed-parameter tractable with parameter fotw. Moreover, we show that on classes of formul...
Gaifman's normal form theorem showed that every first order sentence of quantifier rank n is equivalent to a Boolean combination of "scattered local sentences", whe...
Binary-clause reasoning has been shown to reduce the size of the search space on many satisfiability problems, but has often been so expensive that run-time was higher than that o...
It is empirically known that most incremental learning systems are order dependent, i.e. provide results that depend on the particular order of the data presentation. This paper ai...
