The Foundations of Mathematics in the Theory of Sets by John P. Mayberry

By John P. Mayberry

This 2001 e-book provides a unified method of the principles of arithmetic within the conception of units, protecting either traditional and finitary (constructive) arithmetic. it's according to a philosophical, ancient and mathematical research of the relation among the strategies of 'natural quantity' and 'set'. This ends up in an research of the common sense of quantification over the universe of units and a dialogue of its position in moment order common sense, in addition to within the research of facts via induction and definition via recursion. the subject material of the publication falls at the borderline among philosophy and arithmetic, and will attract either philosophers and mathematicians with an curiosity within the foundations of mathematics.

Generalized Concavity in Fuzzy Optimization and Decision Analysis (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science)

Convexity of units in linear areas, and concavity and convexity of services, lie on the root of lovely theoretical effects that are whilst tremendous beneficial within the research and resolution of optimization difficulties, together with difficulties of both unmarried aim or a number of goals. no longer all of those effects count unavoidably on convexity and concavity; a number of the effects can be sure that each one neighborhood optimal can also be a world optimal, giving those equipment broader program to a much broader category of difficulties.

Motivic Integration and its Interactions with Model Theory and Non-Archimedean Geometry: Volume 2 (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series)
