Experimental analysis of some computation rules in a simple parallel reasoning system for the ALC description logic

Adam Meissner (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A computation rule determines the order of selecting premises during an inference process. In this paper we empirically analyse three particular computation rules in a tableau-based, parallel reasoning system for the ALC description logic, which is built in the relational programming model in the Oz language. The system is constructed in the lean deduction style, namely, it has the form of a small program containing only basic mechanisms, which assure soundness and completeness of reasoning....

On global induction mechanisms in a μ -calculus with explicit approximations

Christoph Sprenger, Mads Dam (2003)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We investigate a Gentzen-style proof system for the first-order μ -calculus based on cyclic proofs, produced by unfolding fixed point formulas and detecting repeated proof goals. Our system uses explicit ordinal variables and approximations to support a simple semantic induction discharge condition which ensures the well-foundedness of inductive reasoning. As the main result of this paper we propose a new syntactic discharge condition based on traces and establish its equivalence with...

FSM encoding for BDD representations

Wilsin Gosti, Tiziano Villa, Alex Saldanha, Alberto Sangiovanni-Vincentelli (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

We address the problem of encoding the state variables of a finite state machine such that the BDD representing the next state function and the output function has the minimum number of nodes. We present an exact algorithm to solve this problem when only the present state variables are encoded. We provide results on MCNC benchmark circuits.
