I published an interview of Leo Breiman in Statistical Science [Olshen (2001)], and also the solution to a problem concerning almost sure convergence of binary tree-structured estimators in regression [Olshen (2007)]. The former summarized…
In this article we explore some aspects of Fourier analysis on fuzzy sets. This work was part of a broader project jointly with Professor Vittorio Cafagna which spanned over a few years between 1998 and 2005. Professor Cafagna passed away…
In these notes we propose a setting for fuzzy computing in a framework similar to that of well-established theories of computation: boolean, and quantum computing. Our efforts have been directed towards stressing the formal similarities:…
Vladimir Andreevich Uspensky [1930-2018] was one of the Soviet pioneers of the theory of computation and mathematical logic in general (and my teacher and thesis advisor). This paper is the survey of his mathematical works and their…
Impact of academic research onto the non-academic world is of increasing importance as authorities seek return on public investment. Impact opens new opportunities for what are known as "professional services": as scientometrical tools…
