Abstract. Monadic second-order unification is second-order unification where all function constants occurring in the equations are unary. Here we prove that the problem of deciding...
Abstract. Probably the most significant result concerning cut-free sequent calculus proofs in linear logic is the completeness of focused proofs. This completeness theorem has a n...
We present a general theory for the use of negative premises in the rules of Transition System Specifications (TSSs). We formulate a criterion that should be satisfied by a TSS in ...
Deductive program synthesis systems based on automated theorem proving offer the promise of software that is correct by construction. However, the difficulty encountered in constru...
Completion procedures, originated from the seminal work of Knuth and Bendix, are wellknown as procedures for generating confluent rewrite systems, i.e. decision procedures for al ...
