Abstract: This paper presents a formal method based on standard concepts from mathematical logic, for the analysis of system properties, particularly safety. Informally, a safety proposition is a ...

We first extend Quine's method of eliminating the bound variables to first-order predicate logic with operation symbols ; then we give a device for eliminating also the free variables ; and finally we ...

A discrete quantum structure is a discrete quantum space that is equipped with relations andfunctions of various finite arities. Discrete quantum spaces are identified withhereditarily atomic von ...

Journal of Logic, Language, and Information, Vol. 2, No. 3 (Jul., 1993), pp. 217-254 (38 pages) In this paper a semantics for dynamic predicate logic is developed that uses sequence valued assignments ...

Historically, it was initially a formalization of mathematical language and reasoning, proposed by G. Frege between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, and "popularized" by B.

Abstract: Sometimes AI has to deal with incomplete problems. Knowledge Representation is the main component to solve the problems in AI. Various Knowledge representation techniques are available to ...

ABSTRACT: A method is presented for incrementally computing success patterns of logic programs. The set of success patterns of a logic program with respect to an abstraction is formulated as the ...
