Referring is one of the most basic and prevalent uses of language. How do speakers choose from the wealth of referring expressions at their disposal? Rational theories of language use have come under attack for decades for not being able to…
The formalism which has been developed to give general expressions for the determinants of differential operators is extended to the physically interesting situation where these operators have a zero mode which has been extracted. In the…
Conditionals are useful for modelling, but are not always sufficiently expressive for capturing information accurately. In this paper we make the case for a form of conditional that is situation-based. These conditionals are more expressive…
Explanation regularisation (ER) has been introduced as a way to guide text classifiers to form their predictions relying on input tokens that humans consider plausible. This is achieved by introducing an auxiliary explanation loss that…
Reconfiguration paths express sequences of successive reconfiguration operations within a component-based approach allowing dynamic reconfigurations. We use constructs from regular expressions-pin particular, alternatives-to introduce…
Survey of several forms of updating, with a practical illustrative example. We study several updating (conditioning) schemes that emerge naturally from a common scenarion to provide some insights into their meaning. Updating is a subtle…
We present some lambda calculus with explicit substitutions and named variables. The characteristic feature of this calculus is as follows: renaming of bound variables when performing substitutions is done using special reductions and may…
We introduce a variation on Barthe et al.'s higher-order logic in which formulas are interpreted as predicates over open rather than closed objects. This way, concepts which have an intrinsically functional nature, like continuity,…
Extended regular expressions with counting and interleaving are widely used in practice. However the related theoretical studies for this kind of expressions currently cannot meet the need of practical work. This paper develops syntax…
We present a system for generating parsers based directly on the metaphor of parsing as deduction. Parsing algorithms can be represented directly as deduction systems, and a single deduction engine can interpret such deduction systems so as…
The state complexity of the result of a regular operation is often positively correlated with the number of distinct transformations induced by letters in the minimal deterministic finite automaton of the input languages. That is, more…
We present a metagrammatical formalism, {\em generic rules}, to give a default interpretation to grammar rules. Our formalism introduces a process of {\em dynamic binding} interfacing the level of pure grammatical knowledge representation…
Double forms are sections of the vector bundles $\Lambda^{k}T^*\mathcal{M}\otimes \Lambda^{m}T^*\mathcal{M}$, where in this work $(\mathcal{M},\mathfrak{g})$ is a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We study graded second-order…
We present a modification of the superposition calculus that is meant to generate consequences of sets of first-order axioms. This approach is proven to be sound and deductive-complete in the presence of redundancy elimination rules,…
We define the concept of completely regular ordinary differential operators and give various criteria for operators to belong to this class. We give also criteria for Birkhof regularity of ordinary differential operators in terms of the…
Several types of term rewriting systems can be distinguished by the way their rules overlap. In particular, we define the classes of prefix, suffix, bottom-up and top-down systems, which generalize similar classes on words. Our aim is to…
A lens is a single program that specifies two data transformations at once: one transformation converts data from source format to target format and a second transformation inverts the process. Over the past decade, researchers have…
The concept of operator left residuation has been introduced by the authors in a previous paper. Modifications of so-called quantum structures, in particular orthomodular posets, like pseudo-orthomodular, pseudo-Boolean and Boolean posets…
This article handles in a short manner a few Laplace transform pairs and some extensions to the basic equations are developed. They can be applied to a wide variety of functions in order to find the Laplace transform or its inverse when…
Valuation and parity formulas for both European-style and American-style exchange options are presented in a general financial model allowing for jumps, possibility of default and "bubbles" in asset prices. The formulas are given via…
