Abstract. Methods of adaptive constraint satisfaction have recently become of interest to overcome the limitations imposed on “black-box” search algorithms by the no free lunch...
Several constraint handling techniques have been proposed to be used with the evolutionary algorithms (EAs). According to the no free lunch theorem, it is impossible for a single c...
Abstract. In this paper we report on our first experiences using the relational analysis provided by the Alloy tool with the theorem prover KIV in the context of specifications of ...
Increasingly encompassing models have been suggested for our world. Theories range from generally accepted to increasingly speculative to apparently bogus. The progression of theo...
Attempts to use finite models to guide the search for proofs by resolution and the like in first order logic all suffer from the need to trade off the expense of generating and m...
