Combining quantitative and qualitative reasoning in concurrent multi-player games

open access: yesAutonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, 2021
We propose a general framework for modelling and formal reasoning about multi-agent systems and, in particular, multi-stage games where both quantitative and qualitative objectives and constraints are involved.

Quantitative Equational Reasoning

open access: yes, 2020
Equational logic has been a central theme in mathematical reasoning and in reasoning about programs. We introduce a quantitative analogue of equational reasoning that allows one to reason about approximate equality. The equality symbol is annotated with a real number that describes how far apart two terms can be. We develop the counterparts of standard
