This paper studies the stable model semantics of logic programs with (abstract) constraint atoms and their properties. We introduce a succinct abstract representation of these constraint atoms in which a constraint atom is represented…
We contemplate a higher-level bipolar abstract argumentation for non-elementary arguments such as: X argues against Ys sincerity with the fact that Y has presented his argument to draw a conclusion C, by omitting other facts which would not…
The stable model (SM) semantics lacks the properties of existence, relevance and cumulativity. If we prospectively consider the class of conservative extensions of SM semantics (i.e., semantics that for each normal logic program P retrieve…
We present an enhancement of exp(ASP), a system that generates explanation graphs for a literal l - an atom a or its default negation ~a - given an answer set A of a normal logic program P, which explain why l is true (or false) given A and…
We develop a unified categorical theory of substructural abstract syntax with variable binding and single-variable (capture-avoiding) substitution. This is done for the gamut of context structural rules given by exchange (linear theory)…
We consider abstract evolution equations with on-off time delay feedback. Without the time delay term, the model is described by an exponentially stable semigroup. We show that, under appropriate conditions involving the delay term, the…
We describe a derivational approach to abstract interpretation that yields novel and transparently sound static analyses when applied to well-established abstract machines for higher-order and imperative programming languages. To…
We present a new idea to adapt relational abstract domains to the analysis of IEEE 754-compliant floating-point numbers in order to statically detect, through abstract Interpretation-based static analyses, potential floating-point run-time…
We consider a hypergraph (I,C), with possible multiple (hyper)edges and loops, in which the vertices $i\in I$ are interpreted as agents, and the edges $c\in C$ as contracts that can be concluded between agents. The preferences of each agent…
This paper examines how a notion of stable explanation developed elsewhere in Defeasible Logic can be expressed in the context of formal argumentation. With this done, we discuss the deontic meaning of this reconstruction and show how to…
We develop an axiomatic framework for fractal analysis and fractal number theory grounded in hierarchies of definability. Central to this approach is a sequence of formal systems F_n, each corresponding to a definability level S_n contained…
Biological and physical systems often exhibit distinct structures at different spatial/temporal scales. Persistent homology is an algebraic tool that provides a mathematical framework for analyzing the multi-scale structures frequently…
We propose a hierarchical control framework for the synthesis of correct-by-construction controllers for nonlinear control-affine systems with respect to reach-avoid-stay specifications. We first create a low-dimensional continuous…
Slow feature analysis (SFA) is a new technique for extracting slowly varying features from a quickly varying signal. It is shown here that SFA can be applied to nonstationary time series to estimate a single underlying driving force with…
Let $0\longrightarrow \B\stackrel{j}{\longrightarrow}E\stackrel{\pi}{\longrightarrow}\A\longrightarrow 0$ be an extension of $\A$ by $\B$, where $\A$ is a unital simple purely infinite $C^{*}$--algebra. When $\B$ is a simple separable…
In this paper we introduce a Conditional Answer Set Programming framework (Conditional ASP) for the definition of conditional extensions of Answer Set Programming (ASP). The approach builds on a conditional logic with typicality, and on the…
We study the existence of stable matchings when agents have choice correspondences instead of preference relations. We extend the framework of \cite{chambers2017choice} by weakening the path independence assumption. For many-to-many…
Contraction analysis is a stability theory for nonlinear systems where stability is defined incrementally between two arbitrary trajectories. It provides an alternative framework in which to study uncertain interconnections or systems with…
Analyzing the behavior of a program running on a processor that supports speculative execution is crucial for applications such as execution time estimation and side channel detection. Unfortunately, existing static analysis techniques…
interpretation is a general methodology for building static analyses of programs. It was introduced by P. and R. Cousot in \cite{cc}. We present, in this paper, an application of a generic abstract interpretation to domain of…
