Extending Symmetry Reduction by Exploiting System Architecture
Symmetry reduction is a technique to alleviate state explosion in model checking by replacing a model of replicated processes with a bisimilar quotient model. The size of the quotient depends strongly on the set of applicable symmetries, which in many practical cases allows only polynomial reduction. We introduce architectural symmetry, a concept that exploits architectural system features to c...
متن کاملCrystal templating through liquid-liquid phase separation.
Controlled induction of crystal nucleation is a highly desirable but elusive goal. Attempts to speed up crystallization, such as high super saturation or working near a liquid-liquid critical point, always led to irregular and uncontrollable crystal growth. Here, we show that under highly nonequilibrium conditions of spinodal decomposition, water crystals grow as thin wires in a template-less f...
متن کاملCrystal-liquid crystal binary phase diagrams.
We propose a new theoretical scheme for the binary phase diagrams of crystal-liquid crystal mixtures by a combination of a phase field model of solidification, the Flory-Huggins theory for liquid-liquid mixing and Maier-Saupe-McMillan (FH-MSM) model for nematic and smectic liquid crystal orderings. The phase field theory describes the crystal phase transition of anisotropic organic crystal and/...
متن کاملBlue-phase liquid crystal droplets.
Blue phases of liquid crystals represent unique ordered states of matter in which arrays of defects are organized into striking patterns. Most studies of blue phases to date have focused on bulk properties. In this work, we present a systematic study of blue phases confined into spherical droplets. It is found that, in addition to the so-called blue phases I and II, several new morphologies ari...
متن کاملExploiting Problem Data to Enrich Models of Constraint Problems
In spite of the effectiveness of Constraint Programming languages and tools, modeling remains an art and requires significant involvement from a CP expert. Our goal is to alleviate the load of the human user, and this paper is a first step in this direction. We propose a framework that enriches a ‘generic’ constraint model of a domain area with a set of constraints that are applicable to a part...
