Model Checking and the Mu-calculus
There is a growing recognition of the need to apply formal mathematical methods in the design of \high con dence" computing systems. Such systems operate in safety critical co...

On the Expression of Graph Properties in some Fragments of Monadic Second-Order Logic
: We review the expressibility of some basic graph properties in certain fragments of Monadic Second-Order logic, like the set of Monadic-NP formulas. We focus on cases where a pro...

Visibility Computations: From Discrete Algorithms to Real Algebraic Geometry
We investigate visibility computations with moving viewpoints. The initial problems are of discrete and algorithmic nature, but even for simple classes of objects (such as balls an...

Enumerative Real Algebraic Geometry
Let C be a smooth real plane curve. Let c be its degree and g its genus. We assume that C has at least g real branches. Let d be a nonzero natural integer strictly less than c. Let...

On the Number of Connected Components of the Relative Closure of a Semi-Pfaffian Family
The notion of relative closure (X, Y )0 of a semi-Pfaffian couple (X, Y ) was introduced by Gabrielov to give a description of the o-minimal structure generated by Pfaffian functio...
