Limit Theorems for the Sample Entropy of Hidden Markov Chains
The Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem asserts that the sample entropy of a stationary and ergodic stochastic process converges to the entropy rate of the same process almost surely...

Positive supercompilation for a higher order call-by-value language
Previous deforestation and supercompilation algorithms may introduce accidental termination when applied to call-by-value programs. This hides looping bugs from the programmer, an...

Towards Structurally-Free Theorem Proving
Is it possible to compute in which logics a given formula is deducible? The aim of this paper is to provide a formal basis to answer positively this question in the context of sub...

Termination of Lazy Rewriting Revisited
Lazy rewriting is a proper restriction of term rewriting that dynamically restricts the reduction of certain arguments of functions in order to obtain termination. In contrast to ...

Monotonicity Criteria for Polynomial Interpretations over the Naturals
Polynomial interpretations are a useful technique for proving termination of term rewrite systems. In an automated setting, termination tools are concerned with parametric polynomi...
