A Two-Watched Literal Scheme for First-Order Logic

The two-watched literal scheme, a core component of efficient CDCL (Conflict-Driven Clause Learning) implementations for propositional logic, is extended to first-order logic. Given a set of first-order clauses and a set of ground literals, our lifted two-watched literal scheme efficiently detects all propagating and false clauses with respect to the ground literals. We present the algorithm as a system of rules and prove its soundness and completeness. Additionally, we provide an implementation of the two-watched literal scheme, which outperforms a standard dynamic programming approach for detecting propagatable literals and conflicts, especially when dealing with long clauses.

Automated Expected Amortised Cost Analysis of Probabilistic Data Structures

In this paper, we present the first fully-automated expected amortised cost analysis of self-adjusting data structures, that is, of randomised splay trees, randomised splay heaps and randomised meldable heaps, which so far have only (semi-) manually been analysed in the literature. Our analysis is stated as a type-and-effect system for a first-order functional programming language with support for sampling over discrete distributions, non-deterministic choice and a ticking operator. The latter allows for the specification of fine-grained cost models. We state two soundness theorems based on two different -- but strongly related -- typing rules of ticking, which account differently for the cost of non-terminating computations. Finally we provide a prototype implementation able to fully automatically analyse the aforementioned case studies.

Symbolic Model Construction for Saturated Constrained Horn Clauses

Clause sets saturated by hierarchic ordered resolution do not offer a model representation that can be effectively queried, in general. They only offer the guarantee of the existence of a model. We present an effective symbolic model construction for saturated constrained Horn clauses. Constraints are in linear arithmetic, the first-order part is restricted to a function-free language. The model is constructed in finite time, and non-ground clauses can be effectively evaluated with respect to the model. Furthermore, we prove that our model construction produces the least model.

Type-Based Analysis of Logarithmic Amortised Complexity

We introduce a novel amortised resource analysis couched in a type-and-effect system. Our analysis is formulated in terms of the physicist's method of amortised analysis, and is potential-based. The type system makes use of logarithmic potential functions and is the first such system to exhibit *logarithmic amortised complexity*. With our approach we target the automated analysis of self-adjusting data structures, like splay trees, which so far have only manually been analysed in the literature. In particular, we have implemented a semi-automated prototype, which successfully analyses the zig-zig case of *splaying*, once the type annotations are fixed.
