Multi-stage stochastic programming provides a versatile framework for optimal decision making under uncertainty, but it gives rise to hard functional optimization problems since the adaptive recourse decisions must be modeled as functions of some or all un ...
In computability theory a variety of combinatorial systems are encountered (word problems, production systems) that exhibit undecidability properties. Here we seek such structures in the realm of Analysis, more specifically in the area of Fourier Analysis. ...
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 ...
This paper presents a framework to derive instantiation-based decision procedures for satisfiability of quantified formulas in first-order theories, including its correctness, implementation, and evaluation. Using this framework we derive decision procedur ...
Whitebox fuzzing is a novel form of security testing based on dynamic symbolic execution and constraint solving. Over the last couple of years, whitebox fuzzers have found many new security vulnerabilities (buffer overflows) in Windows and Linux applicatio ...
Our goal is to identify families of relations that are useful for reasoning about software. We describe such families using decidable quantifier-free classes of logical constraints with a rich set of operations. A key challenge is to define such classes of ...
The popular isolation level multiversion Read Committed (RC) exchanges some of the strong guarantees of serializability for increased transaction throughput. Nevertheless, transaction workloads can sometimes be executed under RC while still guaranteeing se ...
We consider from practical perspective the (generally undecidable) problem of checking equivalence of context-free grammars. We present both techniques for proving equivalence, as well as techniques for finding counter-examples that establish non-equivalen ...
We consider two basic problems of algebraic topology: the extension problem and the computation of higher homotopy groups, from the point of view of computability and computational complexity. The extension problem is the following: Given topological space ...
Continuous linear programs have attracted considerable interest due to their potential for modeling manufacturing, scheduling, and routing problems. While efficient simplex-type algorithms have been developed for separated continuous linear programs, crude ...
