Strong Invariants for the Efficient Construction of Machine-Checked Protocol Security Proofs
We embed an operational semantics for security protocols in the interactive theorem prover Isabelle/HOL and derive two strong protocol-independent invariants. These invariants allo...

Almost-Natural Proofs
Razborov and Rudich have shown that so-called natural proofs are not useful for separating P from NP unless hard pseudorandom number generators do not exist. This famous result is...

Runtime Addition of Integrity Constraints in an Abductive Proof Procedure
Abductive Logic Programming is a computationally founded representation of abductive reasoning. In most ALP frameworks, integrity constraints express domainspecific logical relati...

Hit-and-run from a corner
We show that the hit-and-run random walk mixes rapidly starting from any interior point of a convex body. This is the first random walk known to have this property. In contrast, t...

Random walk with long-range interaction with a barrier and its dual: Exact results
We consider the random walk on Z+ = {0, 1, ...} , with up and down transition probabilities given the chain is in state x {1, 2, ...}: (1) px = 1 2 ,, 1 2x +
