Quantum mechanics is arguably one of the most successful scientific theories ever and its applications to chemistry, optics, and information theory are innumerable.
In recent years, the interaction between harmonic analysis and convex geometry has increased which has resulted in solutions to several long-standing problems.
This volume presents the lecture notes of short courses given by three leading experts in mathematical logic at the 2010 and 2011 Asian Initiative for Infinity Logic Summer Schools.
This volume provides a forum which highlights new achievements and overviews of recent developments of the thriving logic groups in the Asia-Pacific region.
This is an exciting if not rambling account of events of Raymond Smullyan's four lives - as a mathematical logician, musician, magician, and author - together with thoughts that come to his mind as he recalls them.
This book is a brief and focused introduction to the reverse mathematics and computability theory of combinatorial principles, an area of research which has seen a particular surge of activity in the last few years.
This volume presents the lecture notes of short courses given by three leading experts in mathematical logic at the 2012 Asian Initiative for Infinity Logic Summer School.
Ever since Paul Cohen's spectacular use of the forcing concept to prove the independence of the continuum hypothesis from the standard axioms of set theory, forcing has been seen by the general mathematical community as a subject of great intrinsic interest but one that is technically so forbidding that it is only accessible to specialists.
This volume is based on the talks given at the Workshop on Infinity and Truth held at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences, National University of Singapore, from 25 to 29 July 2011.
The proceedings publishes research results on the following disciplines: philosophy and epistemology, history and philosophy of science, mathematics, logic and computer science, social sciences, linguistics, cognitive sciences, artificial intelligence, general systems and operational research.
With increasing demands for high precision autonomous control over wide operating envelopes, conventional control engineering approaches are unable to adequately deal with system complexity, nonlinearities, spatial and temporal parameter variations, and with uncertainty.
The book is devoted to the questions of the long-time behavior of solutions for evolution equations, connected with kinetic models in statistical physics.
This book provides a concise and modern introduction to Formal Languages and Machine Computation, a group of disparate topics in the theory of computation, which includes formal languages, automata theory, turing machines, computability, complexity, number-theoretic computation, public-key cryptography, and some new models of computation, such as quantum and biological computation.
Cellular automata provide one of the most interesting avenues into the study of complex systems in general, as well as having an intrinsic interest of their own.
This book is devoted to an analysis of the way that structures must enter into a serious study of any subject, and the term "e;structuralism"e; refers to the general method of approaching a subject from the viewpoint of structure.
The author selects 23 of his papers in mathematical logic that pursue definability via priority, forcing, compactness and fine structure applied to classical recursion, hyperarithmetic sets, recursion in objects of finite type, measure, models and E-recursion.
This book covers a broad range of up-to-date issues in non-classical logic that are of interest not only to philosophical and mathematical logicians but also to computer scientists and researchers in artificial intelligence.
This volume is a collection of written versions of the talks given at the Workshop on Computational Prospects of Infinity, held at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences from 18 June to 15 August 2005.
The present monograph on matrix partial orders, the first on this topic, makes a unique presentation of many partial orders on matrices that have fascinated mathematicians for their beauty and applied scientists for their wide-ranging application potential.
