We show that unary PCF, a very small fragment of Plotkin’s PCF [?], cidable observational pre-order, and that its fully abstract model is effectively presentable. This is in ma...
Incomplete relations are relations which contain null values, whose meaning is \value is at present unknown". Such relations give rise to two types of functional dependency (...
A method is described for proving “always possibly” properties of specifications in formalisms with linear-time trace semantics. It is shown to be relatively complete for TLA...
Results on random oracles typically involve showing that a class {X : P(X)} has Lebesgue measure one, i.e., that some property P(X) holds for “almost every X.” A potentially m...
Algebraic translation methods are argued for in many fields of science. Several examples will be considered: from the field of compiler construction, database updates, concurren...
The complexity of the reachability problem for live and safe free-choice Petri nets has been open for several years. Several partial results seemed to indicate that the problem is...
In this paper we present an alternative order-theoretic proof of the Banach fixed point theorem for selfmaps on complete metric spaces which is based on formal balls and, contrary...
