We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process in a critical scaling parametrized by @math , which creates a shock in the particle density of order @math @math the observation time. When starting from step initial data, we provide bounds on the limiting law which in particular imply that in the double limit @math one recovers the product limit law and the degeneration of the correlation length observed at shocks of order @math . This result is shown to apply to a general last-passage percolation model. We also obtain bounds on the two-point functions of several @math processes.
Here we rehash some of the known results that we will use in this paper, and describe the method of proof from @cite_20 , which is relevant to this paper.

This paper examines techniques for finding falsifying trajectories of hybrid systems using an approach that we call trajectory splicing. Many formal verification techniques for hybrid systems, including flowpipe construction, can identify plausible abstract counterexamples for property violations. However, there is often a gap between the reported abstract counterexamples and the concrete system trajectories. Our approach starts with a candidate sequence of disconnected trajectory segments, each segment lying inside a discrete mode. However, such disconnected segments do not form concrete violations due to the gaps that exist between the ending state of one segment and the starting state of the subsequent segment. Therefore, trajectory splicing uses local optimization to minimize the gap between these segments, effectively splicing them together to form a concrete trajectory. We demonstrate the use of our approach for falsifying safety properties of hybrid systems using standard optimization techniques. As such, our approach is not restricted to linear systems. We compare our approach with other falsification approaches including uniform random sampling and a robustness guided falsification approach used in the tool S-Taliro. Our preliminary evaluation clearly shows the potential of our approach to search for candidate trajectory segments and use them to find concrete property violations. We propose the use of explicit proof plans to guide the search for a proof in automatic theorem proving. By representing proof plans as the specifications of LCF-like tactics, [ 79], and by recording these specifications in a sorted meta-logic, we are able to reason about the conjectures to be proved and the methods available to prove them. In this way we can build proof plans of wide generality, formally account for and predict their successes and failures, apply them flexibly, recover from their failures, and learn them from example proofs. This paper deals with termination proofs for Higher-Order Rewrite Systems (HRSs), introduced in [12]. This formalism combines the computational aspects of term rewriting and simply typed lambda calculus. The result is a proof technique for the termination of a HRS, similar to the proof technique “Termination by interpretation in a well-founded monotone algebra”, described in [8, 19]. The resulting technique is as follows: Choose a higher-order algebra with operations for each function symbol in the HRS, equipped with some well-founded partial ordering. The operations must be strictly monotonic in this ordering. This choice generates a model for the HRS. If the choice can be made in such a way that for each rule the interpretation of the left hand side is greater than the interpretation of the right hand side, then the HRS is terminating. At the end of the paper some applications of this technique are given, which show that this technique is natural and can easily be applied. This paper proposes a method to combine text-based and citation-based retrieval methods in the invalidity patent search. Using the NTCIR-6 test collection including eight years of USPTO patents, we show the effectiveness of our method experimentally.
