Rewrite Closure for Ground and Cancellative AC Theories
Given a binary relation IE ∪ IR on the set of ground terms e signature, we define an abstract rewrite closure for IE ∪ IR. act rewrite closure can be interpreted as a speciali...

On Polynomial Representations of Boolean Functions Related to Some Number Theoretic Problems
We say a polynomial P over ZZM strongly M -represents a Boolean function F if F(x) ≡ P(x) (mod M) for all x ∈ {0, 1}n . Similarly, P one-sidedly M -represents F if F(x) = 0 ⇐...

Properties of Distributed Timed-Arc Petri Nets
Abstract. In [12] we started a research on a distributed-timed extension of Petri nets where time parameters are associated with tokens and arcs carry constraints that qualify the ...

The Directed Minimum-Degree Spanning Tree Problem
Consider a directed graph G = (V, E) with n vertices and a root vertex r ∈ V . The DMDST problem for G is one of constructing a spanning tree rooted at r, whose maximal degree is...
