چکیده

Practically speaking, how small can a test suite be and still be of value? In the context of temporal graph-theoretic abductive validation, the answer to this question is very language-dependent. Seemingly trivial variations in a language can have a signiicant impact on how large a test suite must be. This paper is hence a cautionary note to those who invent languages and ontologies without experimentally testing the practicality of those languages.

The Effects of Openness and Globalization on Inflation: An ARDL Bounds Test Approach

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis first proposed by Romer (1993); suggesting that inflation is lower in more open economies. According to this hypothesis, central banks have a lower incentive to engineer surprise inflations in more-open economies because the Phillips curve is steeper. Furthermore, Comparing with other empirical studies, this paper has used the new KOF...

Upper and lower bounds of symmetric division deg index

Symmetric Division Deg index is one of the 148 discrete Adriatic indices that showed good predictive properties on the testing sets provided by International Academy of Mathematical Chemistry. Symmetric Division Deg index is defined by $$ SDD(G) = sumE left( frac{min{d_u,d_v}}{max{d_u,d_v}} + frac{max{d_u,d_v}}{min{d_u,d_v}} right), $$ where $d_i$ is the degree of vertex $i$ in graph $G$. In th...

Universal Approximation of Interval-valued Fuzzy Systems Based on Interval-valued Implications

It is firstly proved that the multi-input-single-output (MISO) fuzzy systems based on interval-valued $R$- and $S$-implications can approximate any continuous function defined on a compact set to arbitrary accuracy.  A formula to compute the lower upper bounds on the number  of interval-valued fuzzy sets needed to achieve a pre-specified approximation  accuracy for an arbitrary multivariate con...

Bounds on $m_r(2,29)$

 An $(n, r)$-arc is a set of $n$ points of a projective plane such that some $r$, but no $r+1$ of them, are collinear. The maximum size of an $(n, r)$-arc in  PG(2, q) is denoted by $m_r(2,q)$. In this paper thirteen new $(n, r)$-arc in  PG(2,,29) and a table with the best known lower and upper bounds on $m_r(2,29)$ are presented. The results are obtained by non-exhaustive local computer search.

Optimal Test Sets for Context-Free Languages

A test set for a formal language (set of strings) L is a subset T of L such that for any two string homomorphisms f and g defined on L, if the restrictions of f and g on T are identical functions, then f and g are identical on the entire L. Previously, it was shown that there are context-free grammars for which smallest test sets are cubic in the size of the grammar, which gives a lower bound o...
