Mathematical Logic. An Introduction
... A closer analysis of circularity in logic leads to the famous incompleteness theorems of Gödel’s: Theorem. Formal theories which are strong enough to “formalize themselves” are not complete, i.e., there are statements such that neither it nor its negation can be proved in that theory. Moreover such ...

A Morita extension of T to the signature Σ+ is a Σ+ -theory T + = T ∪ {δs : s ∈ Σ+ − Σ} that satisfies the following three conditions. First, for each symbol s ∈ Σ+ − Σ the sentence δs is an explicit definition of s in te ...

Mathematical Structures for Reachability Sets and Relations Summary
... VASS reachability relations are almost semilinear relations. Actually the classes of almost semilinear sets and almost semilinear relations are defined to be well suited for deciding the VASS reachability problem. More precisely, in (Leroux, 2011), we proved that if the reflexive and transitive clos ...
