Some remarks on the convergence of the Dirichlet series of L-functions and related questions
First we show that the abscissae of uniform and absolute convergence of
Dirichlet series coincide in the case of -functions from the Selberg class
. We also study the latter abscissa inside the extended Selberg
class, indicating a different behavior in the two classes. Next we address two
questions about majorants of functions in , showing links with the
distribution of the zeros and with independence results.Comment: 10 page
Primes and prime ideals in short intervals
We prove the analog of Cram\'er's short intervals theorem for primes in
arithmetic progressions and prime ideals, under the relevant Riemann
Hypothesis. Both results are uniform in the data of the underlying structure.
Our approach is based mainly on the inertia property of the counting functions
of primes and prime ideals.Comment: minor change to Proposition
Checking Interval Properties of Computations
Model checking is a powerful method widely explored in formal verification.
Given a model of a system, e.g., a Kripke structure, and a formula specifying
its expected behaviour, one can verify whether the system meets the behaviour
by checking the formula against the model.
Classically, system behaviour is expressed by a formula of a temporal logic,
such as LTL and the like. These logics are "point-wise" interpreted, as they
describe how the system evolves state-by-state. However, there are relevant
properties, such as those constraining the temporal relations between pairs of
temporally extended events or involving temporal aggregations, which are
inherently "interval-based", and thus asking for an interval temporal logic.
In this paper, we give a formalization of the model checking problem in an
interval logic setting. First, we provide an interpretation of formulas of
Halpern and Shoham's interval temporal logic HS over finite Kripke structures,
which allows one to check interval properties of computations. Then, we prove
that the model checking problem for HS against finite Kripke structures is
decidable by a suitable small model theorem, and we provide a lower bound to
its computational complexity.Comment: In Journal: Acta Informatica, Springer Berlin Heidelber, 201
