SC-TPTP: An Extension of the TPTP Derivation Format for Sequent-Based Calculus

Motivated by the transfer of proofs between proof systems, and in particular from first order automated theorem provers (ATPs) to interactive theorem provers (ITPs), we specify an extension of the TPTP derivation text format to describe proofs in first-ord ...

Revisiting the General Identifiability Problem

Negar Kiyavash, Seyed Jalal Etesami, Ehsan Mokhtarian, Yaroslav Kivva

We revisit the problem of general identifiability originally introduced in [Lee et al., 2019] for causal inference and note that it is necessary to add positivity assumption of observational distribution to the original definition of the problem. We show t ...

Type-Level Programming with Match Types

Martin Odersky, Olivier Eric Paul Blanvillain

Type-level programming is becoming more and more popular in the realm of functional programming. However, the combination of type-level programming and subtyping remains largely unexplored in practical programming languages. This paper presents match types ...

A Continuized View on Nesterov Acceleration

Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion, Raphaël Jean Berthier

We introduce the "continuized" Nesterov acceleration, a close variant of Nesterov acceleration whose variables are indexed by a continuous time parameter. The two variables continuously mix following a linear ordinary differential equation and take gradien ...

Integral Convexity And Parabolic Systems

Bernard Dacorogna

In this work we give optimal, i.e., necessary and sufficient, conditions for integrals of the calculus of variations to guarantee the existence of solutions-both weak and variational solutions-to the associated L-2-gradient flow. The initial values are mer ...

Calculus of Variations for Differential Forms

Swarnendu Sil

In this thesis we study calculus of variations for differential forms. In the first part we develop the framework of direct methods of calculus of variations in the context of minimization problems for functionals of one or several differential forms of th ...

Exterior Convexity And Classical Calculus Of Variations

Saugata Bandyopadhyay, Swarnendu Sil

We study the relation between various notions of exterior convexity introduced in [S. Bandyopadhyay, B. Dacorogna and S. Sil, J. Eur. Math. Soc. 17 (2015) 1009-1039.] with the classical notions of rank one convexity, quasiconvexity and polyconvexity. To th ...

Implementing Higher-Kinded Types in Dotty

Martin Odersky, Dmytro Petrashko, Guillaume André Fradji Martres

dotty is a new, experimental Scala compiler based on DOT, the calculus of Dependent Object Types. Higher-kinded types are a natural extension of first-order lambda calculus, and have been a core construct of Haskell and Scala. As long as such types are jus ...

A Decision Procedure for Regular Membership and Length Constraints over Unbounded Strings

Andrew Joseph Reynolds

We prove that the quantifier-free fragment of the theory of character strings with regular language membership constraints and linear integer constraints over string lengths is decidable. We do that by describing a sound, complete and terminating tableaux ...

Ordered Sets in the Calculus of Data Structures

Viktor Kuncak, Philippe Paul Henri Suter, Ruzica Piskac

Our goal is to identify families of relations that are useful for reasoning about software. We describe such families using decidable quantifier-free classes of logical constraints with a rich set of operations. A key challenge is to define such classes of ...

Physical limits to broadening compensation in a linear slow light system

Luc Thévenaz

The dispersion experienced by a signal in a slow light system leads to a significant pulse broadening and sets a limit to the maximum delay actually achievable by the system. To overcome this limitation, a substantial research effort is currently being car ...
