We introduce a sound and complete coinductive proof system for reachability properties in transition systems generated by logically constrained term rewriting rules over an order-sorted signature modulo builtins. A key feature of the…
Self-similar groups provide a rich source of groups with interesting properties; e.g., infinite torsion groups (Burnside groups) and groups with an intermediate word growth. Various self-similar groups can be described by a recursive…
We consider a two-component asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on a finite lattice with reflecting boundary conditions. For this process, which is equivalent to the ASEP with second-class particles, we construct the representation…
Higher-order recursion schemes are recursive equations defining new operations from given ones called "terminals". Every such recursion scheme is proved to have a least interpreted semantics in every Scott's model of \lambda-calculus in…
We characterize the absolute retracts in the category of reflexive oriented graphs, that is, antisymmetric reflexive graphs, where morphisms between objects preserve arcs (which may be sent to loops). Here we show, by correcting a much…
Based on a reduction processing, we rewrite a hypergeometric term as the sum of the difference of a hypergeometric term and a reduced hypergeometric term (the reduced part, in short). We show that when the initial hypergeometric term has a…
Relatively dominated representations give a common generalization of geometrically finiteness in rank one on the one hand, and the Anosov condition which serves as a higher-rank analogue of convex cocompactness on the other. This note…
Large language and music models are increasingly used for constrained generation: rhyming lines, fixed meter, inpainting or infilling, positional endings, and other global form requirements. These systems often perform strikingly well, but…
Type theories with multi-clocked guarded recursion provide a flexible framework for programming with coinductive types encoding productivity in types. Combining this with solutions to general guarded domain equations one can also construct…
We design various logics for proving hyper properties of iterative programs by application of abstract interpretation principles. In part I, we design a generic, structural, fixpoint abstract interpreter parameterized by an algebraic…
A good state-time quantized symbolic abstraction of an already input quantized control system would satisfy three conditions: proximity, soundness and completeness. Extant approaches for symbolic abstraction of unstable systems limit to…
Concurrency theory has received considerable attention, but mostly in the scope of synchronous process algebras such as CCS, CSP, and ACP. As another way of handling concurrency, data-based coordination languages aim to provide a clear…
B-terms are built from the B combinator alone defined by B f g x = f (g x), which is well-known as a function composition operator. This paper investigates an interesting property of B-terms, that is, whether repetitive right applications…
A predicate f:{-1,1}^k -> {0,1} with \rho(f) = \frac{|f^{-1}(1)|}{2^k} is called {\it approximation resistant} if given a near-satisfiable instance of CSP(f), it is computationally hard to find an assignment that satisfies at least…
Suppose we are given a computably enumerable object arise from algorithmic randomness or computable analysis. We are interested in the strength of oracles which can compute an object that approximates this c.e. object. It turns out that,…
Mutexes (i.e., locks) are well understood in separation logic, and can be specified in terms of either protecting an invariant or atomically changing the state of the lock. In this abstract, we develop the same styles of specifications for…
We consider estimation procedures which are recursive in the sense that each successive estimator is obtained from the previous one by a simple adjustment. We propose a wide class of recursive estimation procedures for the general…
Using formal tools in computer science to describe games is an interesting problem. We give games, exactly two person games, an axiomatic foundation based on the process algebra ACP (Algebra of Communicating Process). A fresh operator…
For which sets A does there exist a mapping, computed by a total or partial recursive function, such that the mapping, when its domain is restricted to A, is a 1-to-1, onto mapping to $\Sigma^*$? And for which sets A does there exist such a…
This work is devoted to the formal verification of specifications over general discrete-time Markov processes, with an emphasis on infinite-horizon properties. These properties, formulated in a modal logic known as PCTL, can be expressed…
