Book Logical Foundations of Mathematics and Computational Complexity

Download or read book Logical Foundations of Mathematics and Computational Complexity written by Pavel Pudlák and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 699 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two main themes of this book, logic and complexity, are both essential for understanding the main problems about the foundations of mathematics. Logical Foundations of Mathematics and Computational Complexity covers a broad spectrum of results in logic and set theory that are relevant to the foundations, as well as the results in computational complexity and the interdisciplinary area of proof complexity. The author presents his ideas on how these areas are connected, what are the most fundamental problems and how they should be approached. In particular, he argues that complexity is as important for foundations as are the more traditional concepts of computability and provability. Emphasis is on explaining the essence of concepts and the ideas of proofs, rather than presenting precise formal statements and full proofs. Each section starts with concepts and results easily explained, and gradually proceeds to more difficult ones. The notes after each section present some formal definitions, theorems and proofs. Logical Foundations of Mathematics and Computational Complexity is aimed at graduate students of all fields of mathematics who are interested in logic, complexity and foundations. It will also be of interest for both physicists and philosophers who are curious to learn the basics of logic and complexity theory.

Download or read book Computer Science Logic written by Jörg Flum and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999-09-08 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1999 Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Science Logic, CSL’99, was held in Madrid, Spain, on September 20-25, 1999. CSL’99 was the 13th in a series of annual meetings, originally intended as Internat- nal Workshops on Computer Science Logic, and the 8th to be held as the - nual Conference of the EACSL. The conference was organized by the Computer Science Departments (DSIP and DACYA) at Universidad Complutense in M- rid (UCM). The CSL’99 program committee selected 34 of 91 submitted papers for p- sentation at the conference and publication in this proceedings volume. Each submitted paper was refereed by at least two, and in almost all cases, three di erent referees. The second refereeing round, previously required before a - per was accepted for publication in the proceedings, was dropped following a decision taken by the EACSL membership meeting held during CSL’98 (Brno, Czech Republic, August 25, 1998).

Download or read book Logic and Complexity written by Richard Lassaigne and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logic and Complexity looks at basic logic as it is used in Computer Science, and provides students with a logical approach to Complexity theory. With plenty of exercises, this book presents classical notions of mathematical logic, such as decidability, completeness and incompleteness, as well as new ideas brought by complexity theory such as NP-completeness, randomness and approximations, providing a better understanding for efficient algorithmic solutions to problems. Divided into three parts, it covers: - Model Theory and Recursive Functions - introducing the basic model theory of propositional, 1st order, inductive definitions and 2nd order logic. Recursive functions, Turing computability and decidability are also examined. - Descriptive Complexity - looking at the relationship between definitions of problems, queries, properties of programs and their computational complexity. - Approximation - explaining how some optimization problems and counting problems can be approximated according to their logical form. Logic is important in Computer Science, particularly for verification problems and database query languages such as SQL. Students and researchers in this field will find this book of great interest.

Book excerpt: The Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS) is alt- nately held in France and in Germany. The conference of March 25-27, 2004 at the Corum, Montpellier was the twenty-?rst in this series. Previous meetings took place in Paris (1984), Saarbruc ̈ ken (1985), Orsay (1986), Passau (1987), Bordeaux (1988), Paderborn (1989), Rouen (1990), Hamburg (1991), Cachan (1992),Wurzburg ̈ (1993),Caen(1994),Munc ̈ hen(1995),Grenoble(1996),Lub ̈ eck (1997), Paris (1998), Trier (1999), Lille (2000), Dresden (2001), Antibes (2002), and Berlin (2003). The symposium looks back at a remarkable tradition of over 20 years. The interest in STACS has been increasing continuously during recent years and has turned it into one of the most signi?cant conferences in theoretical computer science. The STACS 2004 call for papers led to more than 200 submissions from all over the world. Thereviewingprocesswasextremelyhard:morethan800reviewsweredone. We would like to thank the program committee and all external referees for the valuable work they put into the reviewing process of this conference. We had a two-day meeting for the program committee in Montpellier during November 21-22, 2003. Just 54 papers (i.e., 27% of the submissions) could be accepted, as we wanted to keep the conference in its standard format with only two parallel sessions. This strict selection guaranteed the very high scienti?c quality of the conference.
