We study the decision problem for the existential fragment of the theory of power structures. We prove complexity results that parallel the decidability results of Feferman-Vaught for the theories of product structures thereby showing that the construction ...
Formal verification of real-world software systems remains challenging for a number of reasons, including lack of automation, friction in specifying properties, and limited support for the diverse programming paradigms used in industry. In this thesis we m ...
We present a verification procedure for pure higher-order functional Scala programs with parametric types. We show that our procedure is sound for proofs, as well as sound and complete for counter-examples. The procedure reduces the analysis of higher-orde ...
We present the foundations of a verifier for higher-order functional programs with generics and recursive algebraic data types. Our ver- ifier supports finding sound proofs and counterexamples even in the presence of certain quantified invariants and recur ...
The hierarchy of propositions has been accepted amongst the forensic science community for some time. It is also accepted that the higher up the hierarchy the propositions are, against which the scientist are competent to evaluate their results, the more d ...
In this paper, we prove several extremal results for geometrically defined hypergraphs. In particular, we establish an improved lower bound, single exponentially decreasing in k, on the best constant delta > 0 such that the vertex classes P-1,...,P-k of ev ...

A k-ary semi-algebraic relation E on R-d is a subset of R-kd, the set of k-tuples of points in R-d, which is determined by a finite number of polynomial inequalities in kd real variables. The description complexity of such a relation is at most t if d, k < ...
Procedures for first-order logic with equality are used in many modern theorem provers and solvers, yet procedure termination in case of interesting sub-classes of satisfiable formulas remains a challenging problem. We present an instantiation-based semi-d ...
A k-ary semi-algebraic relation E on R^d is a subset of R^{kd}, the set of k-tuples of points in R^d, which is determined by a finite number of polynomial equations and inequalities in kd real variables. The description complexity of such a relation is at ...
Inferences related to the second-order properties of functional data, as expressed by covariance structure, can become unreliable when the data are non-Gaussian or contain unusual observations. In the functional setting, it is often difficult to identify a ...
