We present a new tool for verification of modal μ-calculus formulae for process specifications, based on symbolic parity games. It enhances an existing method, that first encodes the problem to a Parameterised Boolean Equation System (PBES) and then instantiates the PBES to a parity game. We improved the translation from specification to PBES to preserve the structure of the specification in th...

Aiming at seeking a low complexity decoder of the low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, we present one modified multi-bit flipping (MMBF) algorithm. For those LDPC codes whose parity check matrices have light column weight, both the bootstrap step and a novel delay-handling step are included in MMBF, based on one framework which is the combination of conventional PWBF and IWBF. On the other ha...

We introduce and implement a new, extended approach to placing bounds on trilinear Rparity violating (R/ ) couplings. We focus on a limited set of leptonic and semi-leptonic processes involving neutrinos, combining multidimensional plotting and cross-checking constraints from different experiments. This allows us to explore new regions of parameter space and to relax a number of bounds given in...

With the passage of the Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 (MHPA), Congress took an important first step toward equalizing treatment under medical plans between physical and mental illnesses by requiring parity in annual and lifetime dollar limits between physical and mental illness. But the Act was limited in scope: it did not mandate mental health benefits nor prohibit other common types of dif...

In this paper we address the problem of solving parity games over the configuration graphs of bounded phase multi-pushdown systems. A non-elementary decision procedure was proposed for this problem by A. Seth. In this paper, we provide a simple and inductive construction to solve this problem. We also prove a non-elementary lower-bound, answering a question posed by A.Seth.

We define and examine priority mean-payoff games — a natural extension of parity games. By adapting the notion of Blackwell optimality borrowed from the theory of Markov decision processes we show that priority mean-payoff games can be seen as a limit of special multi-discounted games.

Abstract Linear and nonlinear modelling of Alfvénic instabilities, most notably toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes (TAEs), obtained by using the global electromagnetic gyrokinetic model code ORB5 are presented for 15 MA scenario ITER tokamak. simulations show that elliptic odd-parity TAEs only weakly damped but not excited alpha particles, whose drive favours even-parity TAEs. Low mode number found to ...
