16. Achieving completeness: from constructive set theory to large cardinals
Sammanfattning : This thesis is an exploration of several completeness phenomena, both in the constructive and the classical settings. After some introductory chapters in the first part of the thesis where we outline the background used later on, the constructive part contains a categorical formulation of several constructive completeness theorems available in the literature, but presented here in an unified framework.

17. Lightweight verification of functional programs
Sammanfattning : We have built several tools to help with testing and verifying functional programs. All three tools are based on QuickCheck properties. Our goal is to allow programmers to do more with QuickCheck properties than just test them. LÄS MER
18. Reasoning with Bounded Cognitive Resources
Sammanfattning : Reasoning is an essential element of intelligence. Automated reasoning in formal and symbolic systems is a major topic in computer science and artificial intelligence (AI). Programs for computer-assisted and automated theorem proving are being constructed and used by mathematicians and logicians. LÄS MER
19. Contributions to the Metamathematics of Arithmetic: Fixed Points, Independence, and Flexibility
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the incompleteness phenomenon of first-order arithmetic: no consistent, r.e. theory T can prove every true arithmetical sentence. The first incompleteness result is due to Gödel; classic generalisations are due to Rosser, Feferman, Mostowski, and Kripke. LÄS MER
20. Stability theory in finite variable logic
Sammanfattning : This thesis studies finite variable theories. To be more precise. complete Ln -theories, where Ln is the set of formulas in a first order language L in which at most n distinct variables occur. These need not be complete in the usual first order sense. LÄS MER
