In this paper we show that a generalized version of the Nikoli puzzle Slant is NP-complete. We also give polynomial time algorithms for versions of the puzzle where some constraints are omitted. These problems correspond to simultaneously…

The Distributional Alignment Game framework provides a powerful variational perspective on Answer-Level Fine-Tuning (ALFT). However, standard algorithms for these games rely on estimating logarithmic rewards from small batches, introducing…

The termination problem for affine programs over the integers was left open in\cite{Braverman}. For more that a decade, it has been considered and cited as a challenging open problem. To the best of our knowledge, we present here the most…

The zero-shot chain of thought (CoT) approach is often used in question answering (QA) by language models (LMs) for tasks that require multiple reasoning steps. However, some QA tasks hinge more on accessing relevant knowledge than on…

We introduce Kleene-Varlet spaces as partially ordered sets equipped with a polarity satisfying certain additional conditions. By applying Kleene-Varlet spaces, we prove that each regular pseudocomplemented Kleene algebra is isomorphic to a…

A generalized set theory (GST) is like a standard set theory but also can have non-set structured objects that can contain other structured objects including sets. This paper presents Isabelle/HOL support for GSTs, which are treated as type…

We investigate the equational theory of Kleene algebra terms with variable complements -- (language) complement where it applies only to variables -- w.r.t. languages. While the equational theory w.r.t. languages coincides with the language…

We discuss the problem of finding non-trivial invariants of non-deterministic, symmetric cut-reduction procedures in the classical sequent calculus. We come to the conclusion that (an enriched version of) the propositional fragment of GS4…

This paper studies fixed-step convergence of implicit-explicit general linear methods. We focus on a subclass of schemes that is internally consistent, has high stage order, and favorable stability properties. Classical, index-1…

We study group-graded Lie algebras L with finite support X. We show that L is nilpotent of |X|-bounded class if X is arithmetically-free. Conversely: we show that Y supports the grading of a non-nilpotent Lie algebra if Y is not…

Pseudo-Boolean constraints, also known as 0-1 Integer Linear Constraints, are used to model many real-world problems. A common approach to solve these constraints is to encode them into a SAT formula. The runtime of the SAT solver on such…
