Abstract: Many artificial intelligence problems are NP-complete ones. To decrease the needed time of such a problem solving a method of extraction of sub-formulas characterizing the common features of ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Calculus is a powerful mathematical tool. But for hundreds of years after its invention in the 17th century, it stood on a shaky ...

In the late 19th century, Karl Weierstrass invented a fractal-like function that was decried as nothing less than a “deplorable evil.” In time, it would transform the foundations of mathematics.

Expressif is the variable substitution syntax combined with a library of predicates and functions. Initially designed for NBi.io, Expressif allows you to define variables, transformations of these ...

Can you think of your life where nothing changed? Those moments are rare, as everything in our life is subject to transformation. The amount of food we eat every day, the number of steps we take, and ...

In this incredibly strange, unnerving moment in history, we are all engaged in weird little games of calculus. For me, tasked with looking after my elderly parents, a once simple decision has suddenly ...

A great deal of Java programming -- from conditional statements to iterative loops -- deals with the evaluation of true or false values. When you work with the JDK's Streams API and Lambda functions, ...

Add a description, image, and links to the predicate-calculus topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we focus on investigation of the predicate transformer semantics of the contract language introduced by Back and von Wright in their book titled as “Refinement Calculus: A ...
