In this paper we investigate the following two questions: Q1: Do there exist optimal proof systems for a given language L? Q2: Do there exist complete problems for a given promise ...
Since Val Tannen's pioneering work on the combination of simply-typed λ-calculus and rst-order rewriting [11], many authors have contributed to this subject by extending it ...
We propose a general, powerful framework of type systems for the -calculus, and show that we can obtain as its instances a variety of type systems guaranteeing non-trivial propert...
Abstraction is the key for effectively dealing with the state explosion in model-checking. Unfortunately, finding abstractions which are small and yet enable us to get conclusive ...
One of the key issues with the practical applicability of Proof-Carrying Code (PCC) and its related methods is the difficulty in communicating the proofs which are inherently larg...
