چکیده

In Computer Science, n-tuples and lists are usual tools ; we investigate both notions in the framework of first-order logic within the set of nonnegative integers. Gödel had firstly shown that the objects which can be defined by primitive recursion schema, also can be defined at first-order, using natural order and some coding devices for lists. Secondly he had proved that this encoding can be defined from addition and multiplication. We show this can be also done with addition and a weaker predicate, namely the coprimeness predicate. The theory of integers equipped with a pairing function can be decidable or not. The theory of decoding of lists (under some natural condition) is always undecidable. We distinguish the notions encoding of n-tuples and encoding of lists via some properties of decidabilityundecidability. At last, we prove it is possible in some structure to encode lists although neither addition nor multiplication are definable in this structure. Résumé On utilise couramment en informatique les n-uplets et les listes sur un ensemble donné ; nous étudions ces deux notions dans le cadre de la logique du premier ordre et pour l’ensemble des entiers naturels. Gödel a montré que les objets définis par un schéma de récurrence primitive sont définissables au premier ordre avec la relation d’ordre et le codage des listes, eux-mêmes définissable avec l’addition et la multiplication ; nous montrerons que ce codage peut également s’effectuer avec l’addition et un prédicat plus faible que la multiplication, à savoir la coprimarité. On montre aussi que les notions de n-uplets et de listes se distinguent par des arguments de décidabilitéindécidabilité. La théorie des entiers munis d’une fonction de couplage peut-être -ou nondécidable. Par contre la théorie du décodage des listes, soumise à une certaine condition naturelle, est toujours indécidable. On montre enfin qu’il existe des structures dans lesquelles on peut coder les listes sans pour autant que l’addition (et donc l’ordre) et la multiplication ne soient définissables.

Sequence encoding without induction

We show that the universally axiomatized, induction-free theory PA− is a sequential theory in the sense of Pudlák [5], in contrast to the closely related Robinson’s arithmetic. Ever since Gödel’s [1] arithmetization of syntax in the proof of his incompleteness theorem, sequence encoding has been an indispensable tool in the study of arithmetical theories and related areas of mathematical logic....

Recent results in combined coding for word-based PPM

In this paper it is presented the lossless PPM (Prediction by Partial string Matching) algorithm and it is studied the way the extended alphabet can be used for the PPM encoding so it will allow the use of symbols which are not present in the alphabet at the beginning of the encoding phase. The extended alphabet can contain symbols with the size larger than a byte and at the decoding external w...

Applications of higher order shear deformation theories on stress distribution in a five layer sandwich plate

In this paper, layerwise theory (LT) along with the first, second and third-order shear deformation theories (FSDT, SSDT and TSDT) are used to determine the stress distribution in a simply supported square sandwich plate subjected to a uniformly distributed load. Two functionally graded (FG) face sheets encapsulate an elastomeric core while two epoxy adhesive layers adhere the core to the face ...

A Novel Patch-Based Digital Signature

In this paper a new patch-based digital signature (DS) is proposed. The proposed approach similar to steganography methods hides the secure message in a host image. However, it uses a patch-based key to encode/decode the data like cryptography approaches. Both the host image and key patches are randomly initialized. The proposed approach consists of encoding and decoding algorithms. The encodin...
