We motivate and study a generic relaxation of correctness of reactive and concurrent systems with respect to a temporal specification. We define a system to be fairly correct if...
aic semantics, which conveniently abstracts from the details of a given model class and thus allows covering a broad range of logics in a uniform way. Categories and Subject Descri...
We show that typability for a natural form of polymorphic recursive typing for rank-2 intersection types is undecidable. Our proof involves characterizing typability as a context ...
Hoare logic is bedevilled by complex but coarse side conditions on the use of variables. We define a logic, free of side conditions, which permits more precise statements of a pr...

Treewidth measures the ”tree-likeness” of structures. Many NP-complete problems, e.g., propositional satisfiability, are tractable on bounded-treewidth structures. In this wo...
We present an expressiveness study of linearity and persistence of processes. We choose the π-calculus, one of the main representatives of process calculi, as a framework to cond...

We consider the monadic boundedness problem for least fixed points over FO formulae as a decision problem: Given a formula ϕ(X, x), positive in X, decide whether there is a unif...
In this paper we show that the Stone representation theorem for Boolean algebras can be generalized to combinatory algebras. In every combinatory algebra there is a Boolean algebr...
We give a semantic characterization of bounded complexity proofs. We introduce the notion of obsessional clique in the relational model of linear logic and show that restricting t...
