This book is devoted to efficient pairing computations and implementations, useful tools for cryptographers working on topics like identity-based cryptography and the simplification of existing protocols like signature schemes.
The term "e;fuzzy logic,"e; as it is understood in this book, stands for all aspects of representing and manipulating knowledge based on the rejection of the most fundamental principle of classical logic---the principle of bivalence.
This book provides a comprehensive exposition of the use of set-theoretic methods in abelian group theory, module theory, and homological algebra, including applications to Whitehead's Problem, the structure of Ext and the existence of almost-free modules over non-perfect rings.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications, TLCA 2013, held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in June 2013 as part of RDP 2013, the 7th Federated Conference on Rewriting, Deduction, and Programming, together with the 24th International Conference on Rewriting Techniques and Applications, RTA 2013, and several related events.
In recent years, classical computability has expanded beyond its original scope to address issues related to computability and complexity in algebra, analysis, and physics.
This book intends to show that radical naturalism (or physicalism), nominalism and strict finitism account for the applications of classical mathematics in current scientific theories.
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.
The book answers long-standing questions on scientific modeling andinference across multiple perspectives and disciplines, including logic,mathematics, physics and medicine.
This book constitutes the thoroughly revised selected papers from the 16th International Conference on Formal Aspects of Component Software, FACS 2019, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in October 2019.
Starting at the very beginning with Aristotle's founding contributions, logic has been graced by several periods in which the subject has flourished, attaining standards of rigour and conceptual sophistication underpinning a large and deserved reputation as a leading expression of human intellectual effort.
This book presents and defends an original and paradigm-shifting conception of formal science, natural science, and the natural universe alike, that's fully pro-science, but at the same time neither theological or God-centered, nor solipsistic or self-centered, nor communitarian or social-institution-centered, nor scientistic or science-valorizing, nor materialist/physicalist or reductive, nor-above all-mechanistic.
The book is a collection of contributionsby leading experts, developed around traditional themes discussed at the annualLinz Seminars on Fuzzy Set Theory.
This book considers the so-called Unlikely Intersections, a topic that embraces well-known issues, such as Lang's and Manin-Mumford's, concerning torsion points in subvarieties of tori or abelian varieties.
Lattice-gas cellular automata (LGCA) and lattice Boltzmann models (LBM) are relatively new and promising methods for the numerical solution of nonlinear partial differential equations.
The Second Principle of Thermodynamics is nowadays a sort of "e;religious"e; belief: the certainty that our universe, with everything in it, is destined to be destroyed, sentients included-a thought that has been heavily radicated for decades in a society divided between rigid atheists and likewise rigid religious people.
This contributed volume overviews recently presented approaches for carrying out QSPR/QSAR analysis by using a simplifying molecular input-line entry system (SMILES) to represent the molecular structure.
The original edition of The Geometry of Musical Rhythm was the first book to provide a systematic and accessible computational geometric analysis of the musical rhythms of the world.
Optimization Theory Based on Neutrosophic and Plithogenic Sets presents the state-of-the-art research on neutrosophic and plithogenic theories and their applications in various optimization fields.
Mathematics plays a key role in computer science, some researchers would consider computers as nothing but the physical embodiment of mathematical systems.
»Philosophie der Mathematik« wird in diesem Buch verstanden als ein Bemühen um die Klärung solcher Fragen, die die Mathematik selber aufwirft, aber mit ihren eigenen Methoden nicht beantworten kann.
This story of a highly intelligent observer of the turbulent 20th century who was intimately involved as the secretary and bodyguard to Leon Trotsky is based on extensive interviews with the subject, Jean van Heijenoort, and his family, friends, and colleagues.
