The complexity of admissible rules of {\L}ukasiewicz logic
We investigate the computational complexity of admissibility of inference
rules in infinite-valued {\L}ukasiewicz propositional logic (\L). It was shown
in [13] that admissibility in {\L} is checkable in PSPACE. We establish that
this result is optimal, i.e., admissible rules of {\L} are PSPACE-complete. In
contrast, derivable rules of {\L} are known to be coNP-complete.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figures; to appear in Journal of Logic and Computatio
Assume-Admissible Synthesis
In this paper, we introduce a novel rule for synthesis of reactive systems,
applicable to systems made of n components which have each their own
objectives. It is based on the notion of admissible strategies. We compare our
novel rule with previous rules defined in the literature, and we show that
contrary to the previous proposals, our rule defines sets of solutions which
are rectangular. This property leads to solutions which are robust and
resilient. We provide algorithms with optimal complexity and also an
abstraction framework.Comment: 31 page
Generic Modal Cut Elimination Applied to Conditional Logics
We develop a general criterion for cut elimination in sequent calculi for
propositional modal logics, which rests on absorption of cut, contraction,
weakening and inversion by the purely modal part of the rule system. Our
criterion applies also to a wide variety of logics outside the realm of normal
modal logic. We give extensive example instantiations of our framework to
various conditional logics. For these, we obtain fully internalised calculi
which are substantially simpler than those known in the literature, along with
leaner proofs of cut elimination and complexity. In one case, conditional logic
with modus ponens and conditional excluded middle, cut elimination and
complexity were explicitly stated as open in the literature
Thick 2D Relations for Document Understanding
We use a propositional language of qualitative rectangle relations to detect the reading order from document images. To this end, we define the notion of a document encoding rule and we analyze possible formalisms to express document encoding rules such as LATEX and SGML. Document encoding rules expressed in the propositional language of rectangles are used to build a reading order detector for document images. In order to achieve robustness and avoid brittleness when applying the system to real life document images, the notion of a thick boundary interpretation for a qualitative relation is introduced. The framework is tested on a collection of heterogeneous document images showing recall rates up to 89%
Functional Complexity Measure for Networks
We propose a complexity measure which addresses the functional flexibility of
networks. It is conjectured that the functional flexibility is reflected in the
topological diversity of the assigned graphs, resulting from a resolution of
their vertices and a rewiring of their edges under certain constraints. The
application will be a classification of networks in artificial or biological
systems, where functionality plays a central role.Comment: 11 pages, LaTeX2e, 5 PostScript figure
Answer Set Planning Under Action Costs
Recently, planning based on answer set programming has been proposed as an
approach towards realizing declarative planning systems. In this paper, we
present the language Kc, which extends the declarative planning language K by
action costs. Kc provides the notion of admissible and optimal plans, which are
plans whose overall action costs are within a given limit resp. minimum over
all plans (i.e., cheapest plans). As we demonstrate, this novel language allows
for expressing some nontrivial planning tasks in a declarative way.
Furthermore, it can be utilized for representing planning problems under other
optimality criteria, such as computing ``shortest'' plans (with the least
number of steps), and refinement combinations of cheapest and fastest plans. We
study complexity aspects of the language Kc and provide a transformation to
logic programs, such that planning problems are solved via answer set
programming. Furthermore, we report experimental results on selected problems.
Our experience is encouraging that answer set planning may be a valuable
approach to expressive planning systems in which intricate planning problems
can be naturally specified and solved
