Characteristic Formulae for Timed Automata

Luca Aceto, Anna Ingólfsdóttir, Mikkel Lykke Pedersen, Jan Poulsen (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

This paper offers characteristic formula constructions in the real-time logic Lν for several behavioural relations between (states of) timed automata. The behavioural relations studied in this work are timed (bi)similarity, timed ready simulation, faster-than bisimilarity and timed trace inclusion. The characteristic formulae delivered by our constructions have size which is linear in that of the timed automaton they logically describe. This also applies to the characteristic formula for...

Characterizing the complexity of boolean functions represented by well-structured graph-driven parity-FBDDs

Henrik Brosenne, Matthias Homeister, Stephan Waack (2002)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We investigate well-structured graph-driven parity-FBDDs, which strictly generalize the two well-known models parity OBDDs and well-structured graph-driven FBDDs. The first main result is a characterization of the complexity of Boolean functions represented by well-structured graph-driven parity-FBDDs in terms of invariants of the function represented and the graph-ordering used. As a consequence, we derive a lower bound criterion and prove an exponential lower bound for certain linear code functions....

Charles Babbage (1791-1871) : de l'école algébrique anglaise à la «machine analytique»

Marie-José Durand-Richard (1992)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Actuellement de plus en plus honoré par les informaticiens à la recherche d'une paternité pour leurs nouvelles machines, Charles Babbage reste un mathématicien peu connu. Il est pourtant à l'origine d'une École Algébrique Anglaise dont les travaux ont su expliciter les caractéristiques des méthodes opératoires et les imposer comme essentielles à la nouvelle algèbre ; parmi les nouveaux «scientists» d'une Angleterre émergeant de sa révolution industrielle dans les années 1830, Babbage, qui est politiquement...
