Unary PCF is Decidable
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...

Axiomatisation of Functional Dependencies in Incomplete Relations
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 (...

Proving Possibility Properties
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...

An Improved Zero-One Law for Algorithmically Random Sequences
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 Translations, Correctness and Algebraic Compiler Construction
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...

Reachability in Live and Safe Free-Choice Petri Nets is NP-Complete
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...

A Computational Model for Metric Spaces
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...
