Mathematics of Discrete Structures for Computer Science

Basketball is much more than jump shots, no-look passes, and slam dunks. It's a spectacular spectacle where basketball, science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics happen to meet.

Baseball is much more than game-winning hits, double plays, and grand slams. It's a spectacular spectacle where baseball, science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics happen to meet.

Soccer is much more than passes, throw-ins, and bicycle kicks. It's a spectacular spectacle where soccer, science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics happen to meet.

Football is much more than tackles, touchdowns, and end zone celebrations. It's a spectacular spectacle where football, science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics happen to meet.

This comprehensive text provides a modern and technically precise exposition of the fundamental theory and applications of temporal logics in computer science. Part I presents the basics of discrete transition systems, including constructions and behavioural equivalences. Part II examines the most important temporal logics for transition systems and Part III looks at their expressiveness and complexity. Finally, Part IV describes the main computational methods and decision procedures for model checking and model building - based on tableaux, automata and games - and discusses their relationships. The book contains a wealth of examples and exercises, as well as an extensive annotated bibliography. Thus, the book is not only a solid professional reference for researchers in the field but also a comprehensive graduate textbook that can be used for self-study as well as for teaching courses.

This 1994 book develops a way of representing the meanings of linguistic expressions which is independent of any particular language, allowing the expressions to be manipulated in accordance with rules related to their meanings which could be implemented on a computer. It begins with a survey of the contributions of linguistics, logic and computer science to the problem of representation, linking each with a particular type of formal grammar. A system of graphs is then presented, organized by scope relations in which linguistic constituents are sub-graphs whose configuration is determined by their categories. In developing this system, the author extends the notion of scope and argues that anaphoric and relative pronouns are structural signs not linguistic constituents. Certain count nouns are made the basis of this system and an account of proper names relating the count nouns, is given.
