Robertson and Seymour (1990) proved that graphs of bounded tree-width are well-quasi-ordered by the graph minor relation. By extending their arguments, Geelen, Gerards, and Whittle...
We propose an efficient automatic checking algorithm, Athena, for analyzing security protocols. Athena incorporates a logic that can express security properties including authenti...
We study the question of how to easily recognize whether a social unction f from an abstract type space to a set of outcomes is truthful, i.e. implementable by a truthful mechanis...
Using methods of abstract logic and the theory of valuation, we prove that there is no paraconsistent negation obeying the law of double negation and such that ¬(a ∧ ¬a) is a t...
Local (first order) sentences, introduced by Ressayre, enjoy very nice decidability properties, following from some stretching theorems stating some remarkable links between the ...
