A really temporal logic
... Abstract. We introduce a temporal logic for the specification of real-time systems. Our logic, binds a TPTL, employs a novel quantifier construct for referencing time: the freeze quantifier variable to the time of the local temporal context. TPTL is both a natural language for specification and a su ...

Similarly, if we allow various special functions-e.g., elliptic, hypergeometric, or theta functions-then we can explicitly express the r, in Question 2, or indeed the roots of any polyn ...

But N0 is defective: you can add and multiply without leaving the system, but not always subtract: to solve x + 5 = 3, the system must be expanded to Z = {. . . , −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, . . .} : the integers.
