One of the previous articles in this column was devoted to the zero-one laws for a number of logics playing prominent role in finite model theory: first-order logic FO, the extens...
In this note, we prove that having unique head-normal forms is a sufficient condition on partial combinatory algebras to be completable. As application,we show that the pca of str...
The weakly pulse-coupled oscillator framework has proven to be a valuable resource for the development of peer-to-peer synchronization algorithms [9]. But leveraging it in a pract...
A logic program strongly quasi-terminates when only a finite number of distinct atoms (modulo variable renaming) are derivable from any given query and computation rule. This noti...
In this paper, a new approach to training set size reduction is presented. This scheme basically consists of defining a small number of prototypes that represent all the original ...
