The Complexity of Satisfiability for Fragments of CTL and CTL*;
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) (ENTCS), Volume 223Pages 201–213https://doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2008.12.040The satisfiability problems for CTL and CTL^@? are known to be EXPTIME-complete, resp. 2EXPTIME-complete (Fischer and Ladner (1979), Vardi and Stockmeyer (1985)). For fragments that use less temporal or propositional operators, the complexity may ...

Higher-Order Separation Logic in Isabelle/HOLCF
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) (ENTCS), Volume 218Pages 371–389https://doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2008.10.022We formalize higher-order separation logic for a first-order imperative language with procedures and local variables in Isabelle/HOLCF. The assertion language is modeled in such a way that one may use any theory defined in Isabelle/HOLCF to construct ...

Reasoning about B+ Trees with Operational Semantics and Separation Logic
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) (ENTCS), Volume 218Pages 355–369https://doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2008.10.021The B+ tree is an ordered tree structure with a fringe list. It is the most widely used data structure for data organisation and searching in database systems specifically, and, probably, computing in general. In this paper, we apply two techniques from ...

Global State Considered Helpful
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) (ENTCS), Volume 218Pages 241–259https://doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2008.10.015Reynolds' view of a storage cell as an expression-acceptor pair has been widely used by researchers. We present a different way of organizing semantics of state, and in particular game semantics, by adding to typing contexts a zone for global state. ...

The Interpretation of Intuitionistic Type Theory in Locally Cartesian Closed Categories -- an Intuitionistic Perspective
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) (ENTCS), Volume 218Pages 21–32https://doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2008.10.003We give an intuitionistic view of Seely's interpretation of Martin-Lof's intuitionistic type theory in locally cartesian closed categories. The idea is to use Martin-Lof type theory itself as metalanguage, and E-categories, the appropriate notion of ...

Towards a Systematic Method for Proving Termination of Graph Transformation Systems
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) (ENTCS), Volume 213, Issue 1Pages 23–38https://doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2008.04.072We describe a method for proving the termination of graph transformation systems. The method is based on the fact that infinite reductions must include infinite 'creation chains', that is chains of edges in different graphs of the reduction sequence, ...

Rewriting Interpolants
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) (ENTCS), Volume 212Pages 163–176https://doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2008.04.060We give a method of constructing an interpolant for linear equality, and inequality constraints over the rational numbers. Our method is based on efficient rewriting techniques, and does not require the use of combination methods. The interpolant is ...

Complete Axiomatization for Divergent-Sensitive Bisimulations in Basic Process Algebra with Prefix Iteration
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) (ENTCS), Volume 212Pages 55–70https://doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2008.04.053We study the divergent-sensitive spectrum of weak bisimulation equivalences in the setting of process algebra. To represent the infinite behavior, we consider the prefix iteration extension of a fragment of Milner's CCS. The prefix iteration operator is ...

On the Convergence of Reduction-based and Model-based Methods in Proof Theory
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) (ENTCS), Volume 205Pages 137–144https://doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2008.03.070In the recent past, the reduction-based and the model-based methods to prove cut elimination have converged, so that they now appear just as two sides of the same coin. This paper details some of the steps of this transformation.

Computerizing Mathematical Text with MathLang
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) (ENTCS), Volume 205Pages 5–30https://doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2008.03.063Mathematical texts can be computerized in many ways that capture differing amounts of the mathematical meaning. At one end, there is document imaging, which captures the arrangement of black marks on paper, while at the other end there are proof ...

A Characterization of Constructive Dimension
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS) (ENTCS), Volume 202Pages 323–337https://doi.org/10.1016/j.entcs.2008.03.025In the context of Kolmogorov's algorithmic approach to the foundations of probability, Martin-Lof defined the concept of an individual random sequence using the concept of a constructive measure 1 set. Alternate characterizations use constructive ...
