Abstract: We present a new method for proving lower bounds on quantum query algorithms. The new method is an extension of the adversary method, by analyzing the eigenspace structur...
In this paper, we propose a proof system for reasoning on certain specifications of secure authentication systems. For this purpose, a new logic, sequence-indexed linear-time temp...
We develop logical mechanisms and decision procedures to facilitate the verification of full functional properties of inductive tree data-structures using recursion that are soun...

This paper presents a new method – which does not rely on the cut-elimination theorem – for characterizing the provably total functions of certain intuitionistic subsystems of ...
We present a new algorithm for model-checking weak monadic second-order logic on inductive structures, a class of structures of bounded clique width. Our algorithm directly manipul...
