The recently introduced backward Monte-Carlo method [Johan Carlsson, arXiv:math.NA/0010118] is validated, benchmarked, and compared to the conventional, forward Monte-Carlo method by analyzing the error in the Monte-Carlo solutions to a…
There are several versions of Bell's inequalities, proved in different contexts, using different sets of assumptions. The discussions of their experimental violation often disregard some required assumptions and use loose formulations of…
In [2] the author claims to provide a counterexample to a result in a recent paper [1]. In this note, we prove that the details of his example is false and this example is compatible with our result in [1] and so is not a countreexample.
Arguments continue to appear in the literature concerning the validity of the standard oscillation formula. We point out some misunderstandings and try to explain in simple terms our viewpoint.
All priors are not created equal. There are right and there are wrong priors. That is the main conclusion of this contribution. I use, a cooked-up example designed to create drama, and a typical textbook example to show the pervasiveness of…
For $\lambda$ inaccessible, we may consider $(< \lambda)$-support iteration of some specific $(<\lambda)$-complete $\lambda^+$-c.c. forcing notion. But this fails a "preservation by restricting to a sub-sequence of the forcing, we "correct"…
We derive some simple relations that demonstrate how the posterior convergence rate is related to two driving factors: a "penalized divergence" of the prior, which measures the ability of the prior distribution to propose a nonnegligible…
Relative correctness is the property of a program to be more-correct than another with respect to a given specification. Whereas the traditional definition of (absolute) correctness divides candidate program into two classes (correct, and…
The derivation of the quantum retrodictive probability formula involves an error, an ambiguity. The end result is correct because this error appears twice, in such a way as to cancel itself. In addition, however, the usual expression for…
Evaluation of counterfactual queries (e.g., "If A were true, would C have been true?") is important to fault diagnosis, planning, and determination of liability. In this paper we present methods for computing the probabilities of such…
Counterfactual definiteness must be used as at least one of the postulates or axioms that are necessary to derive Bell-type inequalities. It is considered by many to be a postulate that is not only commensurate with classical physics (as…
The aim of this note is to show that Poincar\'e inequalities imply corresponding weighted versions in a quite general setting. Fractional Poincar\'e inequalities are considered, too. The proof is short and does not involve covering…
The conventional approximate formula for neutrino oscillation in matter which is obtained from the expansion in terms of the ratio of mass square differences $\alpha=\Delta m_{21}^{2}/\Delta m_{31}^{2}\approx0.03$, first proposed by…
Kuroda's translation embeds first-order classical logic into intuitionistic logic, such that a formula and its translation are equivalent in classical logic. Recently, Brown and Rizkallah extended this translation to higher-order logic.…
In a posteriori error analysis, the relationship between error and estimator is usually spoiled by so-called oscillation terms, which cannot be bounded by the error. In order to remedy, we devise a new approach where the oscillation has the…
R\'edei and san Pedro discuss my "Comparing Causality Principles," their main aim being to distinguish reasonable weakened versions of two causality principles presented there, "SO1" and "SO2". They also argue that the proof that SO1…
We show that the neutrino oscillation formula recently derived in the quantum field theory framework holds true despite the arbitrariness in the mass parameter for the flavor fields. This formula is exact and exhibits new features with…
We indicate that an argument of da Costa and Doria in fact proves P=NP. This observation makes their argument appear dubious. We isolate a weak version of one of their lemmas which would already prove P=NP. We point out that even this weak…
Recently, several researchers have claimed that conclusions obtained from a Bayes factor (or the posterior odds) may contradict those obtained from Bayesian posterior estimation. In this short paper, we wish to point out that no such…
This short note present a "proof" of $P\neq NP$. The "proof" with double quotation marks is to indicate that we do not know whether the proof is correct or not (We're confused because we do know in which we make the mistakes).
