We introduce a novel approach to studying properties of processes in the {\pi}-calculus based on a processes-as-formulas interpretation, by establishing a correspondence between specific sequent calculus derivations and computation trees in…

We show that if we enrich first order logic by allowing quantification over isomorphisms between definable ordered fields the resulting logic, L(Q_{Of}), is fully compact. In this logic, we can give standard compactness proofs of various…

We consider graph properties that can be checked from labels, i.e., bit sequences, of logarithmic length attached to vertices. We prove that there exists such a labeling for checking a first-order formula with free set variables in the…

On the ground of a general theorem concerning the admissibility of the structural rules in sequent calculi with additional atomic rules, we develop a proof theoretic analysis for several extensions of the ${\bf G3[mic]}$ sequent calculi…

We introduce a type and effect system, for an imperative object calculus, which infers "sharing" possibly introduced by the evaluation of an expression, represented as an equivalence relation among its free variables. This direct…

Over the last decade, it has been demonstrated that many systems in science and engineering can be modeled more accurately by fractional-order than integer-order derivatives, and many methods are developed to solve the problem of fractional…

In this paper, we introduce two focussed sequent calculi, LKp(T) and LK+(T), that are based on Miller-Liang's LKF system for polarised classical logic. The novelty is that those sequent calculi integrate the possibility to call a decision…

This paper introduces a refinement of the sequent calculus approach called cirquent calculus. While in Gentzen-style proof trees sibling (or cousin, etc.) sequents are disjoint sequences of formulas, in cirquent calculus they are permitted…

We provide improved convergence rates for various \emph{non-smooth} optimization problems via higher-order accelerated methods. In the case of $\ell_\infty$ regression, we achieves an $O(\epsilon^{-4/5})$ iteration complexity, breaking the…

We introduce a proper display calculus for (non-distributive) Lattice Logic which is sound, complete, conservative, and enjoys cut-elimination and sub-formula property. Properness (i.e. closure under uniform substitution of all parametric…

We introduce a sequent calculus for the temporal-over-topological fragment $\textbf{DTL}_{0}^{\circ * \slash \Box}$ of dynamic topological logic $\textbf{DTL}$, prove soundness semantically, and prove completeness syntactically using the…

We introduce a high-order numerical scheme for fractional ordinary differential equations with the Caputo derivative. The method is developed by dividing the domain into a number of subintervals, and applying the quadratic interpolation on…

We define a infinitary labelled sequent calculus for PDL, G3PDL^{\infty}. A finitarily representable cyclic system, G3PDL^{\omega}, is then given. We show that both are sound and complete with respect to standard models of PDL and, further,…

The cut-elimination method CERES (for first- and higher-order classical logic) is based on the notion of a characteristic clause set, which is extracted from an LK-proof and is always unsatisfiable. A resolution refutation of this clause…

A variable-length code is a fix-free code if no codeword is a prefix or a suffix of any other codeword. In a fix-free code any finite sequence of codewords can be decoded in both directions, which can improve the robustness to channel noise…

The secant method, as an important approach for solving nonlinear equations, is introduced in nearly all numerical analysis textbooks. However, most textbooks only briefly address the Q-order of convergence of this method, with few…

We show that time complexity analysis of higher-order functional programs can be effectively reduced to an arguably simpler (although computationally equivalent) verification problem, namely checking first-order inequalities for validity.…
