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...
Abstract. Programming languages theory is full of problems that reduce to proving the consistency of a logic, such as the normalization of typed lambda-calculi, the decidability of...
A fundamental result of Büchi states that the set of monadic second-order formulas true in the structure (Nat, <) is decidable. A natural question is: what monadic predicates ...
e an abstraction of zero-knowledge protocols that is le to a fully mechanized analysis. The abstraction is formalized within the applied pi-calculus using a novel equational theor...
It is rare to give a semantic definition of a full-scale programming language, despite the many potential benefits. Partly this is because the available metalanguages for expressi...
