The partial real line is the continuous domain of compact real intervals ordered by reverse inclusion. The idea is that singleton intervals represent total real numbers, and that ...
When designing a plant for continuous or semi-continuous processes, such as paper pulp or petrochemical production systems, engineers face very complex tasks, which are only in pa...
Real-time systems operate in \real," continuous time and state changes may occur at any real-numbered time point. Yet many veri cation methods are based on the assumption that...
New non-desktop technologies may turn out to be of a more open and generic nature than traditional information technologies. These technologies consequently pose novel challenges ...
We prove formally that the first order theory of algebraically closed fields enjoy quantifier elimination, and hence is decidable. This proof is organized in two modular parts. We ...
