We present an exact algorithm that decides, for every fixed r ≥ 2 in time O(m) + 2O(k2 ) whether a given multiset of m clauses of size r admits a truth assignment that satisfi...

Traditional automata accept or reject their input, and are therefore Boolean. In contrast, weighted automata map each word to a value from a semiring over a large domain. The speci...
We show that regarding finite automata (FA) as discrete, time-invariant linear systems over semimodules, allows to: (1) express FA minimization and FA determinization as particula...
We formulate three intuitive semantic properties for topk queries in probabilistic databases, and propose GlobalTopk query semantics which satisfies all of them. We provide a dyn...
Abstract. In this paper we present algorithms to statically detect livelocks in Ada multitasking programs. Although the algorithms’ worst-case execution time is exponential, they...
