Late Antique and early Byzantine spherical bronze commercial weights housed in the Archaeological Museum in Split

The 33 bronze weights from the Late Antiquity Collection in the Archaeological Museum in Split are catalogued in this paper. They exhibit the oldest (spherical) shape of commercial weights, used throughout the territory of the Eastern and Western Empires. Most of them have Greek or Latin letters on their surfaces as designations of their mass, while on six of them it is impossible to ascertain ...

In this document, we use the Abstract Interpretation framework to analyze concurrent programs using Thread-Modular Analysis. We designed a relational abstraction of interferences in order to infer more properties and go beyond the state of the art. We implemented a basic analyzer, studying the numerical properties of a simple language. We present the results obtained, as well as a study of the ...

Some of these perhaps could have made nice Olympiad problems, if not for the fact that they were already well-known due to their importance in higher mathematics. Most of this is sourced from the excellent combinatorics course developed by Benn...
