An Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé Approach to Collapse Results for First-Order Queries over Embedded Databases
2001
We present a new proof technique for collapse results for first-order queries on databases which are embedded in N or R>o. Our proofs are by means of an explicitly constructed winning strategy for Duplicator in an Ehrenfeucht-FraissE game, and can deal with certain infinite databases where previous, highly involved methods fail. Our main result is that first-order logic has the natural-generic collapse over {N,≤ ,+} for arbitrary (i.e., possibly infinite) databases. Furthermore, a first application of this result shows the natural-generic collapse of first-order logic over {R>o,≤,+} for a certain kind of databases over R>o which consist of a possibly infinite number of regions.
An ontology change management approach for facility management
2014
International audience; Facility management (FM) or technical property management is an approach to operate, maintain, improve and adapt buildings and infrastructures of organizations. A FM project requires the cooperation of many actors from different domains so it has to be automated in a constrained collaborative environment. This paper proposes a new approach for ontology change management applied on facility management of such projects. The industrial challenge is, firstly, to ensure consistency of a FM project knowledge from the construction phase to the technical property management phase (after delivery). Secondly, it has to provide to each actor of the project a personal up-to-date…
The double-incompleteness theorem
1976
Let T be a strong enough theory, and M - its metatheory, both are consistent. Then there is a closed arithmetical formula H that is undecidable in T, but one cannot prove in M neither that H is T-unprovable, nor that H is T-unrefutable. For English translation and proof, see K. Podnieks What is mathematics: Godel's theorem and around.
Deciding properties of integral relational automata
1994
This paper investigates automated model checking possibilities for CTL* formulae over infinite transition systems represented by relational automata (RA). The general model checking problem for CTL* formulae over RA is shown undecidable, the undecidability being observed already on the class of Restricted CTL formulae. The decidability result, however, is obtained for another substantial subset of the logic, called A-CTL*+, which includes all ”linear time” formulae.
A Detailed Account of The Inconsistent Labelling Problem of Stutter-Preserving Partial-Order Reduction
2021
One of the most popular state-space reduction techniques for model checking is partial-order reduction (POR). Of the many different POR implementations, stubborn sets are a very versatile variant and have thus seen many different applications over the past 32 years. One of the early stubborn sets works shows how the basic conditions for reduction can be augmented to preserve stutter-trace equivalence, making stubborn sets suitable for model checking of linear-time properties. In this paper, we identify a flaw in the reasoning and show with a counter-example that stutter-trace equivalence is not necessarily preserved. We propose a stronger reduction condition and provide extensive new correc…
Minimal Büchi Automata for Certain Classes of LTL Formulas
2009
In this paper we calculate the minimal number of states of Buchi automata which encode some classes of linear temporal logic (LTL) formulas that are frequently used in model checking. Our results may be used for verification of the quality of algorithms which automatically translate LTL formulas into Buchi automata and for improving the quality and speed of such translators. In the last section of this paper we compare our lower-bound estimations to Buchi automata generated by two currently used translators: LTL2BA and SPOT.
Verification of scope-dependent hierarchical state machines
2008
AbstractA hierarchical state machine (Hsm) is a finite state machine where a vertex can either expand to another hierarchical state machine (box) or be a basic vertex (node). Each node is labeled with atomic propositions. We study an extension of such model which allows atomic propositions to label also boxes (Shsm). We show that Shsms can be exponentially more succinct than Shsms and verification is in general harder by an exponential factor. We carefully establish the computational complexity of reachability, cycle detection, and model checking against general Ltl and Ctl specifications. We also discuss some natural and interesting restrictions of the considered problems for which we can …
