Gaifman’s locality theorem states that every first-order sentence is equivalent to a local sentence. We show that there is no elementary bound on the length of the local sentenc...

The interest is in characterizing insightfully the power of program self-reference in effective programming systems (epses), the computability-theoretic analogs of programming lan...
Abstract We propose an alternative notion of asymptotic behaviors for the study of type2 computational complexity. Since the classical asymptotic notion (for all but finitely many...
We describe an embedding of the ACL2 logic into higherorder logic. An implementation of this embedding allows ACL2 to be used as an oracle for higher-order logic provers. Categori...

Classic results in the theory of regular languages show that the problem of converting an NFA (nondeterministic finite automaton) into a minimal equivalent NFA is NP-hard, even f...
