Minimal generators (or mingen) constitute a remarkable part of the closure space landscape since they are the antipodes of the closures, i.e., minimal sets in the underlying equiva...
Abstract. We discuss the computational complexity of several problems concerning subsets of an algebraic structure that generate the structure. We show that the problem of determin...
Abstract. We propose a BFGS primal-dual interior point method for minimizing a convex function on a convex set defined by equality and inequality constraints. The algorithm generat...

The task of generating minimal models of a knowledge base is a significant computational problem in artificial intelligence. This task is at the computational heart of diagnosis s...
We propose an algorithm to compute a counterexample of minimal size to some property in a finite state program, using the same space constraints than SPIN. This algorithm uses nes...
