On the Complexity of Model Expansion
Abstract. We study the complexity of model expansion (MX), which is the problem of expanding a given finite structure with additional relations to produce a finite model of a giv...

Generating Counterexamples for Structural Inductions by Exploiting Nonstandard Models
Induction proofs often fail because the stated theorem is noninductive, in which case the user must strengthen the theorem or prove auxiliary properties before performing the induc...

Human and Unhuman Commonsense Reasoning
Ford has introduced a non-monotonic logic, System LS, inspired by an empirical study of human non-monotonic reasoning. We define here a defeasible logic FDL based on Ford’s logi...

On Strong Normalization of the Calculus of Constructions with Type-Based Termination
Termination of recursive functions is an important property in proof assistants based on dependent type theories; it implies consistency and decidability of type checking. Type-bas...

The Complexity of Partial-Observation Parity Games
We consider two-player zero-sum games on graphs. On the basis of the information available to the players these games can be classified as follows: (a) partial-observation (both p...
