The present paper gives an account for the general mathematical reader of the life and work of Martin Davis. Since two rather comprehensive autobiographical accounts and two long biographical interviews already exist, the present work…
It is a measure of the importance and profundity of Marvin Kenneth Simon's contributions to communication theory that this tribute article and tutorial about his life and work is of current research relevance in spite of the continually…
This article is a multiauthored portrait of Edsger Wybe Dijkstra that consists of testimonials written by several friends, colleagues, and students of his. It provides unique insights into his personality, working style and habits, and his…
This paper was written as a tribute to Mario Petrich, a major figure in the history of semigroup theory. Publication is posthumous in view of his recent death.
This collection presents a selected set of unsolved problems in semigroup theory, a fundamental branch of modern algebra. The publication is dedicated to the 110th anniversary of the birth of E. S. Lyapin, one of the founders of the field…
Licklider advocated in 1960 the construction of computers capable of working symbiotically with humans to address problems not easily addressed by humans working alone. Since that time, many of the advances that he envisioned have been…
This talk presents a short review of David Brink's most important achievements and of my own experience working with him.
This contribution to the book in honour of J.S. Bell will probably differ from the remaining ones, in particular since only a part of it will be devoted to specific technical arguments. In fact I have considered appropriate to share with…
It is well known that many famous Burnside-type problems have positive solutions for PI-groups and PI-algebras. In the present article we also consider various Burnside-type problems for PI-groups and PI-representations of groups.
A recent essay [1] reminds us of how richly Boltzmann deserves to be admiringly commemorated for the originality of his ideas on the occasion of his 150th birthday. Without any doubt, the scientific community owes Boltzmann a great debt of…
Introduction for a special issue of Physica E dedicated to the memory of Markus B\"uttiker.
We give some personal reflections on the person and scientist Lars Brink and on some of his scientific achievements. Our relations to Lars are briefly described in [1] and [2], while the sources relevant for this text are summarised in [3].
A brief account of interesting moments in the genesis of the quark paradigm is presented.
This manuscript is technical memoir about my work at Stanford and Microsoft Research. Included are fundamental concepts central to machine learning and artificial intelligence, applications of these concepts, and stories behind their…
In this talk I will describe the deep influence Planck had on the development of statistical mechanics. At this end I will first outline the theoretical situation of statistical mechanics before Planck. I will then describe his main…
This paper describes problems in AI research and how the SP System (described in an appendix) may help to solve them. Most of the problems are described by leading researchers in AI in interviews with science writer Martin Ford, and…
David Brink was one of the leading theoretical nuclear physicists of his generation. He made major contributions to the study of all aspects of nuclear physics embracing nuclear structure, nuclear scattering, and nuclear instability. His…
David Mumford made groundbreaking contributions in many fields, including the pure mathematics of algebraic geometry and the applied mathematics of machine learning and artificial intelligence. His work in both fields influenced my career…
In the first part of this paper I will describe my work together with Lars and in the second part I will give a look at some of Lars's oldest papers.
The Yang-Baxter equation for a $SU(2)\times U(1)$-symmetric $S=1/2$ spin-orbital chain was solved using the special computer algorithm developed by the author. The 8 new $R$-matrices separated on 5 groups are presented. Among the obtained…
