The study of essential and strongly essential variables in functions defined on finite sets is a part of $k$-valued logic. We extend the main definitions from functions to terms. This allows us to apply concepts and results of Universal…
By combining well-known techniques from both noncommutative algebra and computational commutative algebra, we observe that an algorithmic approach can be applied to the study of irreducible representations of finitely presented algebras. In…
G{\"o}del's completeness theorem for classical first-order logic is one of the most basic theorems of logic. Central to any foundational course in logic, it connects the notion of valid formula to the notion of provable formula.We survey a…
We study a finite analog of a conjecture of Erd\"os on the sum of the squared multiplicities of the distances determined by an $n$-element point set. Our result is based on an estimate of the number of hinges in spectral graphs.
The objective of this paper is to describe the structure of Zariski closed algebras, which provide a useful generalization to finite dimensional algebras in the study of representable algebras over finite fields. Our results include a…
An embedding theorem for algebraic systems is presented, basing on a certain old ultrafilter construction. As an application, we outline alternative proofs of some results from the theory of PI algebras, and establish some properties of…
In this paper, we investigate arithmetical completeness with respect to finite Kripke models of quantified modal logic. We adapt the finite-model embedding techniques of Artemov and Japaridze to two settings involving finite Kripke models.…
The paper presents algebraic and logical developments. From the algebraic viewpoint, we introduce Monadic Equational Systems as an abstract enriched notion of equational presentation. From the logical viewpoint, we provide Equational…
In this paper we investigate two logics from an algebraic point of view. The two logics are: MALL (multiplicative-additive Linear Logic) and LL (classical Linear Logic). Both logics turn out to be strongly algebraizable in the sense of Blok…
We establish an abstract local ergodic theorem, under suitable space-time scaling, for the (boundary-driven) symmetric exclusion process on an increasing sequence of balls covering an infinite weighted graph. The proofs are based on 1-block…
The topic of this treatise is a combinatorial technique called Graph Pebbling. We investigate pebbling numbers, weight functions, flow networks, hypercubes, and the zero-sum conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Lemke. This investigation is a…
Let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$. We survey some results on algebras of finite global dimension and address some open problems.
We consider the domino problem on Schreier graphs of self-similar groups, and more generally their monadic second-order logic. On the one hand, we prove that if the group is bounded then the graph's monadic second-order logic is decidable.…
Analytical tools to $K$-theory; namely, self-stabilization of rapidly decreasing matrices, linearization of cyclic loops, and the contractibility of the pointed stable Toeplitz algebra are discussed in terms of concrete formulas. Adaptation…
The paper investigates algorithmic complexity of monadic multimodal predicate logics with equality over finite Kripke frames or classes of finite Kripke frames. Precise complexity bounds for monadic logics of classes of Kripke frames with…
Accounting for the epistemic contribution of deduction has been a pervasive problem for logicians interested in deduction, such as, among others, Jakko Hintikka. The problem arises because the conclusion validly deduced from a set of…
The Rabin tree theorem yields an algorithm to solve the satisfiability problem for monadic second-order logic over infinite trees. Here we solve the probabilistic variant of this problem. Namely, we show how to compute the probability that…
A simple proof of the fact that each rank-one infinite measure preserving (i.m.p.) transformation is subsequence weakly rationally ergodic is found. Some classes of funny rank-one i.m.p. actions of Abelian groups are shown to be subsequence…
Dang et al. have given an algorithm that can find a Tarski fixed point in a $k$-dimensional lattice of width $n$ using $O(\log^{k} n)$ queries. Multiple authors have conjectured that this algorithm is optimal [Dang et al., Etessami et al.],…
An ordered $r$-matching is an $r$-uniform hypergraph matching equipped with an ordering on its vertices. These objects can be viewed as natural generalisations of $r$-dimensional orders. The theory of ordered 2-matchings is well-developed…
