Efficient representation of piecewise linear functions into Łukasiewicz logic modulo satisfiability
Abstract This work concerns the representation of a class of continuous functions into Logic, so that one may automatically reason about properties of these functions using logical tools. Rational McNaughton functions may be implicitly represented by logical formulas in Łukasiewicz Infinitely-valued Logic by constraining the set of allowed valuations; such a restriction contemplates only those valuations that satisfy specific formulas. This work investigates two approaches to such depiction, called representation modulo satisfiability. Furthermore, a polynomial-time algorithm that builds this representation is presented, producing a pair of formulas consisting of the representative formula and the constraining one, given as input a rational McNaughton function in a suitable encoding. An implementation of the algorithm is discussed.
期刊介绍:
Mathematical Structures in Computer Science is a journal of theoretical computer science which focuses on the application of ideas from the structural side of mathematics and mathematical logic to computer science. The journal aims to bridge the gap between theoretical contributions and software design, publishing original papers of a high standard and broad surveys with original perspectives in all areas of computing, provided that ideas or results from logic, algebra, geometry, category theory or other areas of logic and mathematics form a basis for the work. The journal welcomes applications to computing based on the use of specific mathematical structures (e.g. topological and order-theoretic structures) as well as on proof-theoretic notions or results.
