چکیده

The ability to reason with equations is important in many computer science applications, including algebraic specifications, highlevel programming languages, and automated deduction. Reasoning about equations may, for example, involve deciding if an equation "'follows" as a consequence of a given set of equations, or if an equation is "true" in a given model, or what values of the variables satisfy a given equation. Knuth's completion procedure (Knuth and Bendix, 1970). based on prior work of Evans (1951), was originally suggested as a means of taking an axiomatization of an equational theory and generating a rewrite system that can be used to decide questions of validity of identities (or the "word problem") in the given theory. In this chapter, we formalize that procedure as an inference system and describe some of its more recent applications to other aspects of equational reasoning.

Fuzzy completion time for alternative stochastic networks

In this paper a network comprising alternative branching nodes with probabilistic outcomes is considered. In other words, network nodes are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. First, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of network. Then, it is assumed that the duration of activities is positive trapezoidal fuzzy number (TFN). This paper com...

Graph Matrix Completion in Presence of Outliers

Matrix completion problem has gathered a lot of attention in recent years. In the matrix completion problem, the goal is to recover a low-rank matrix from a subset of its entries. The graph matrix completion was introduced based on the fact that the relation between rows (or columns) of a matrix can be modeled as a graph structure. The graph matrix completion problem is formulated by adding the...

Line completion number of grid graph Pn × Pm

The concept of super line graph was introduced in the year 1995 by Bagga, Beineke and Varma. Given a graph with at least r edges, the super line graph of index r, Lr(G), has as its vertices the sets of r-edges of G, with two adjacent if there is an edge in one set adjacent to an edge in the other set. The line completion number lc(G) of a graph G is the least positive integer r for which Lr(G) ...

Localic completion of generalized metric spaces II: Powerlocales

The work investigates the powerlocales (lower, upper, Vietoris) of localic completions of generalized metric spaces. The main result is that all three are localic completions of generalized metric powerspaces, on the Kuratowski finite powerset. Applications: (1) A localic completion is always open, and is compact iff its generalized metric space is totally bounded. (2) The Heine-Borel Theorem i...
