Relational databases play a central role in many information systems. Their schema contains structural (e.g. tables and columns) and behavioral (e.g. stored procedures or views) entity descriptions. Then, just like for ``normal'' software,…

We identify difference-bound set constraints (DBS), an analogy of difference-bound arithmetic constraints for sets. DBS can express not only set constraints but also arithmetic constraints over set elements. We integrate DBS into separation…

Classically, to solve differential equation problems, it is necessary to specify sufficient initial and/or boundary conditions so as to allow the existence of a unique solution. Well-posedness of differential equation problems thus involves…

A relational database is inconsistent if it does not satisfy a given set of integrity constraints. Nevertheless, it is likely that most of the data in it is consistent with the constraints. In this paper we apply logic programming based on…
