For example, we are able to give fast algorithms for locating a point in a 3-dimensional complex, using linear space, or for finding which of <em>n</em> given points is closest to a query plane.

This semantics induces a natural preorder on processes. We define formally this preorder and prove that it can be characterized as the smallest relation satisfying a particular set of axioms. The characterization sheds lights on problems arising from the way divergence and underspecification are handled. After small changes to the semantic domains we propose a new semantics which is closer to the operational intuitions and suggests a possible solution to the above problems.

While the resulting version of PDL, call it APDL, is clearly equivalent in expressive power to PDL, it is also (in the worst case) exponentially more succinct. In particular, deciding its validity problem by reducing it to that of PDL leads to a double exponential time procedure, although PDL itself is decidable in exponential time. We present an elementary combined proof of the completeness of a simple axiom system for APDL and decidability of the validity problem in exponential time. The results are thus stronger than those for PDL, since PDL can be encoded in APDL with no additional cost, and the proofs simpler, since induction on the structure of programs is virtually eliminated. Our axiom system for APDL relates to the PDL system just as Floyd's proof method for partial correctness relates to Hoare's.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":38164,"journal":{"name":"信息与控制","volume":"64 1","pages":"Pages 119-135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0019-9958(85)80047-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72865924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
