Automata Linear Dynamic Logic on Finite Traces [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science
Temporal logics are widely used by the Formal Methods and AI communities. Linear Temporal Logic is a popular temporal logic and is valued for its ease of use as well as its balance between expressiveness and complexity.

Satisfiability Modulo Theory based Methodology for Floorplanning in VLSI Circuits

open access: yes, 2017
This paper proposes a Satisfiability Modulo Theory based formulation for floorplanning in VLSI circuits. The proposed approach allows a number of fixed blocks to be placed within a layout region without overlapping and at the same time minimizing the ...

A Case for Contingent Absurdity

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 266-280, March 2026.
Abstract A popular view on existential absurdity holds that if life is absurd, it must be inescapably so. In opposition to this view, I argue that the concept of existential absurdity allows for life to be contingently absurd. In Nausea (1938) and Being and Nothingness (1943), Jean‐Paul Sartre puts forward two distinct conceptions of an absurd life ...

A New General Method to Generate Random Modal Formulae for Testing Decision Procedures

open access: yes, 2011
The recent emergence of heavily-optimized modal decision procedures has highlighted the key role of empirical testing in this domain. Unfortunately, the introduction of extensive empirical tests for modal logics is recent, and so far none of the proposed

Analog Approach to Constraint Satisfaction Enabled by Spin Orbit Torque Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Boolean satisfiability (k-SAT) is an NP-complete (k ≥ 3) problem that constitute one of the hardest classes of constraint satisfaction problems. In this work, we provide a proof of concept hardware based analog k-SAT solver, that is built using Magnetic ...

On the Satisfiability of Local First-Order Logics with Data [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science
We study first-order logic over unordered structures whose elements carry a finite number of data values from an infinite domain. Data values can be compared wrt.\ equality.

Some fragments of second-order logic over the reals for which satisfiability and equivalence are (un)decidable [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We consider the Σ1 0-fragment of second-order logic over the vocabulary h+, ×, 0, 1,

Practical Reasoning for Very Expressive Description Logics

open access: yes, 1999
Description Logics (DLs) are a family of knowledge representation formalisms mainly characterised by constructors to build complex concepts and roles from atomic ones.

Ontology-Based Finite Satisfiability of UML Class Model

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
Software models are core artifacts in model driven engineering (MDE) and processable by computer. They are automatically transformed into other models and in MDE, programming code is also produced by the models.

Coalgebraic Satisfiability Checking for Arithmetic $\mu$-Calculi [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science
The coalgebraic $\mu$-calculus provides a generic semantic framework for fixpoint logics over systems whose branching type goes beyond the standard relational setup, e.g. probabilistic, weighted, or game-based.
