The properties of any system of k simultaneous equations in n variables over GF(q), are studied, with a particular emphasis on unsatisfiable systems. A general formula for the num...
A conservative implementation of a predicate returns true only if the exact predicate is true. That is, we accept a one sided error for the implementation. For geometric predicate...
Abstract. A computer disk drive's motor speed varies slightly but irregularly, principally because of air turbulence inside the disk's enclosure. The unpredictability of ...
We rationally reconstruct the core of the Coccinelle system, used for automating and documenting collateral evolutions in Linux device drivers. A denotational semantics of the syst...
The fundamental operation of dominance testing, i.e., determining if one alternative is preferred to another, is in general very hard for methods of reasoning with qualitative cond...
