Verification-based software-fault detection

Software is used in many safety- and security-critical systems. Software development is, however, an error-prone task. In this work new techniques for the detection of software faults (or software "bugs") are described which are based on a formal deductive verification technology. The described techniques take advantage of information obtained during verification and combine verification technology with deductive fault detection and test generation in a very unified way

On optimal solutions of the Borel problem in the Roumieu case

The Borel problem for Denjoy--Carleman and Braun--Meise--Taylor classes has well-known optimal solutions. The unified treatment of these ultradifferentiable classes by means of one-parameter families of weight sequences allows to compare these optimal solutions. We determine the relations among them and give conditions for their equivalence in the Roumieu case.Comment: 18 pages; minor changes, Remark 4.7 adde
