第312回研究講演会開催報告
- 情報処理学会東北支部特別講演会報告
- 日時:2005年1月24日(月)13:00−14:00
- 場所:東北大学大学院情報科学研究科 電気情報系2号館403号室
- 演題:Semilinear Sets and Their Applications
- 講師:台湾国立大学 教授 Hsu-Chun Yen 氏
 
- 概要:
 Semilinear sets are exactly those that can be expressed by Presburger Arithmetic.
As many interesting problems concerning Presburger Arithmetic (including 
membership, equivalence and containment) are decidable, semilinear sets have 
found interesting applications in a  variety of areas in computer sciences.
In this talk, we first survey some of the properties and results  concerning 
semilinear sets, and then see how they can be applied to the analysis of 
concurrent systems. In the second part of this talk, we focus on a restricted 
class called upward-closed sets. Although it is known that any upward-closed set 
exhibits a finite number of minimal elements, such elements, however, may not 
be computable in general. We demonstrate conditions under which the set of minimal 
elements of an upward-closed set is not only computable, but more importantly, 
a bound for the size of  the minimal elements can also be deduced. 
Some applications regarding  this characterization of upward-closed 
sets are given.
