Enumerated type semantics for the calculus of looping sequences

Livio Bioglio (2011)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

The calculus of looping sequences is a formalism for describing the evolution of biological systems by means of term rewriting rules. In this paper we enrich this calculus with a type discipline which preserves some biological properties depending on the minimum and the maximum number of elements of some type requested by the present elements. The type system enforces these properties and typed reductions guarantee that evolution preserves them. As an example, we model the hemoglobin structure...

FSM encoding for BDD representations

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

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

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.

Incremental DFA minimisation

Marco Almeida, Nelma Moreira, Rogério Reis (2014)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We present a new incremental algorithm for minimising deterministic finite automata. It runs in quadratic time for any practical application and may be halted at any point, returning a partially minimised automaton. Hence, the algorithm may be applied to a given automaton at the same time as it is processing a string for acceptance. We also include some experimental comparative results.

Monotone (co)inductive types and positive fixed-point types

Ralph Matthes (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We study five extensions of the polymorphically typed lambda-calculus (system F) by type constructs intended to model fixed-points of monotone operators. Building on work by Geuvers concerning the relation between term rewrite systems for least pre-fixed-points and greatest post-fixed-points of positive type schemes (i.e., non-nested positive inductive and coinductive types) and so-called retract types, we show that there are reduction-preserving embeddings even between systems of monotone (co)inductive...
