In this paper we consider the partial many-sorted first-order logic and its extension to the subsorted partial many-sorted first-order logic that underly the Casl specification formalism. First we present counterexamples showing that the generalization of the Craig Interpolation Property does not hold for these logics in general (i.e., with respect to arbitrary signature morphisms). Then we for...

It is significant to discover a global optimization in the problems dealing with large dimensional scales to increase the quality of decision-making in the mining operation. It has been broadly confirmed that the long-term production scheduling (LTPS) problem performs a main role in mining projects to develop the performance regarding the obtainability of constraints, while maximizing the whole...

This paper proposes an augmented Lagrange Hopfield network (ALHN) for combined heat and power economic dispatch (CHPED) problem. The ALHN method is the continuous Hopfield neural network with its energy function based on augmented Lagrangian relaxation. In the proposed ALHN, the energy function is augmented by Hopfield terms from Hopfield neural network and penalty factors from augmented Lagran...

We present a new primal-dual algorithm for computing the value of the Lagrangian 6 dual of a stochastic mixed-integer program (SMIP) formed by relaxing its nonanticipativity con7 straints. The algorithm relies on the well-known progressive hedging method, but unlike previous 8 progressive hedging approaches for SMIP, our algorithm can be shown to converge to the optimal 9 Lagrangian dual value....

The specification language CSP-CASL combines algebraic and process algebraic formalisms for the description of reactive systems with structured data [Rog 03]. We are using this formalism to formally specify and verify a Swiss banking system and its communication protocol. The EP2 banking system describes the actors involved in an electronic payment and the interfaces between them [EP2]. The so-...

Several methods are now available for measuring cerebral perfusion and related hemodynamic parameters using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). One class of techniques utilizes electromagnetically labeled arterial blood water as a noninvasive diffusible tracer for blood flow measurements. The electromagnetically labeled tracer has a decay rate of T1, which is sufficiently long to allow perfusion ...

In this paper we present methods to generate a Description Logic (DL) theory from a given First Order Logic (FOL) theory, such that each DL axiom is entailed by the given FOL theory. This is obtained by rewriting the given FOL formulas. If this method is applied to an ontology specification in FOL the resulting DL specification is still grounded on the same semantics but clearly weaker than the...

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for solving discrete online learning problems under stochastic constraints, where the leaner aims to maximize the cumulative reward given that some additional constraints on the sequence of decisions need to be satisfied on average. We propose Lagrangian exponentially weighted average (LEWA) algorithm, which is a primal-dual variant of the well known expone...
