We investigate a peculiar intuitionistic modal logic, called Propositional Lax Logic (PLL), which has promising applications to the formal veri cation of computer hardware. The logic has emerged from an attempt to express correctness `up to' behavioural constraints | a central notion in hardware veri cation | as a logical modality. As a modal logic it is special since it features a single modal...

The activation of T cells and the initiation of an immune response is tightly controlled through the crosstalk of both positive and negative regulators. Two adaptors that function as negative regulators of T cell activation are adaptor in lymphocytes of unknown function X (ALX) and linker for activation of X cell (LAX). Previously, we showed that T cells from mice deficient in ALX and LAX displ...

A stability theory is developed for dissipative difference approximations to multidimensional initial-boundary value problems. The original differential problem should be strictly hyperbolic and the difference problem consistent with the differential one. An algebra of pseudo-difference operators is built and later used to prove the stability of the difference approximation with variable coeffi...

The gauge-invariant description of zero-curvature representations of evolution equations is applied to the problem of how to distinguish the fake Lax pairs from the true Lax pairs. The main difference between the true Lax pairs and the fake ones is found in the structure of their cyclic bases. In this note, we use the gauge-invariant description of zero-curvature representations of evolution eq...

Lax Logic is an intuitionistic modal logic which has so far been investigated at the propositional level. It has shown itself to have applications in the formal veriication of hardware|a logical modality is used to capture and express the correctness of speciicationsùp to' behavioural constraints. A translation from Quantiied Lax Logic to a quantiied classical modal logic is presented which ena...

Methods We propose a numerical framework for determining pressure field in large arteries, the main components of which are: axi-symmetric 1-D unsteady wave-propagation model with elastic walls and an optimization framework for model personalization via parameter estimation from measured flow and anatomical data (Fig 1). 4D PC MRI data was acquired using a multi-slice phase contrast FLASH cine ...

We discuss algebraic and analytic structure of rational Lax operators. With algebraic reductions of Lax equations we associate a reduction group-a group of twisted automor-phisms of the corresponding infinite dimensional Lie algebra. We present a complete study of dihedral reductions for sl(2, C) Lax operators with simple poles and corresponding integrable equations. In the last section we give...
