Let c : I → C and f : C → R. To define the differential df|p : C → R of the function f choose a tangent vector v ∈ C at p, pick a curve c such that c(0) = p, c′(0) = v and set: df|p · v := df|p(v) := (f ◦ c)′(0). The differentials dx|p, dy|p of the functions x(z) := Re (z) and y(z) := Im (z) are not depending on the base point p. They are always denoted dx, dy and they are taken as basis for re...

We will use K̂iφ as an abbreviation for ¬Ki¬φ and 〈φ〉ψ as an abbreviation for ¬[φ]¬ψ. Definition 2 (Semantics). An epistemic model (or model for short) is a triple M = (S,∼n, V ) with S a non-empty set of states, ∼i an equivalence relation for i < n, and V a function assigning a subset V (p) ⊆ S with each p ∈ PL. Given a modelM = (S,∼n, V ) and an s ∈ S, we define: M, s |= p iff s ∈ V (p) M, s |...

We present a matching and LP based heuristic algorithm that decides graph non-Hamiltonicity. Each of the n! Hamilton cycles in a complete directed graph on n + 1 vertices corresponds with each of the n! n-permutation matrices P, such that pu,i = 1 if and only if the ith arc in a cycle enters vertex u, starting and ending at vertex n + 1. A graph instance (G) is initially coded as exclusion set ...
