    Description

    Folgende formale Aspekte der Informatik werden behandelt: 
    - Software-Verifikation mittels Hoare-Logik 
    - Aussagenlogik 
    - Algorithmen für den Erfüllbarkeitstest aussagenlogischer Formeln 
    - Turingmaschinen und (Nicht-)Berechenbarkeit 
    - Nichtdeterminismus und die Komplexitätsklassen P und NP 
    - NP-Vollständigkeit und das Erfüllbarkeitsproblem
    - Prädikatenlogik erster Stufe
    - Unentscheidbarkeit der Prädikatenlogik erster Stufe.

    Training objectives

    Nach Besuch dieser Unterrichtseinheit wird die Studentin/der Student:

    - Algorithmen zum Test der Erfüllbarkeit aussagenlogischer Formeln kennen,
    - den Zusammenhang zwischen Turingmaschinen und Berechenbarkeit einordnen können,
    - nichtberechenbare Probleme kennen,
    - Beweise von Nichtberechenbarkeit nachvollziehen können,
    - elementare Ergebnisse der Komplexitätstheorie verstehen,
    - die Komplexitätsklassen P und NP sowie NP-vollständige Probleme kennen,
    - NP-Vollständigkeitsbeweise verstehen,
    - die Grenzen der Informatik einordnen können.
