It is shown that, modulo an equivalence relation induced by finite correspondences preserving Cantor rank, the class of topological spaces is an integral semi-ring on which the Cantor derivative is precisely a derivation.
The concept of ``countable set'' is attributed to Georg Cantor, who set the boundary between countable and uncountable sets in 1874. The concept of ``computable set'' arose in the study of computing models in the 1930s by the founders of…
This paper is devoted to Poincar\'e's work in probability. Though the subject does not represent a large part of the mathematician's achievements, it provides significant insight into the evolution of Poincar\'e's thought on several…
The aim of this article is twofold. First, we shall review and analyse the Neo-Kantian justification for the application of probabilistic concepts in physics that was defended by Hans Reichenbach early in his career, notably in his…
We show the middle Nth cantor set contains arithmetic progressions of length at least proportional to N/log_2(N).
The present article is devoted to certain examples of functions whose argument represented in terms of Cantor series.
In this paper we discuss several variations and generalizations of the Cantor set and study some of their properties. Also for each of those generalizations a Cantor-like function can be constructed from the set. We will discuss briefly the…
It is argued that every measurement is made in a certain scale. The scale in which present measuments are made is called present scale which gives present knowledge. Quantities at the limits to present measurement may be observables in…
We give a heuristic for the number of reduced rationals on Cantor's middle thirds set, with a fixed bound on the denominator. We also describe extensive numerical computations supporting this heuristic.
In this paper, we present a series of mathematical problems which throw interesting lights on flamenco music. More specifically, these are problems in discrete and computational mathematics suggested by an analytical (not compositional)…
The article is devoted to the investigation of representation of rational numbers by Cantor series. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a rational number to be representable by a positive Cantor series are formulated for the case of an…
This text is based on an invited talk at the Dedekind Symposium at Braunschweig in October 2016. It summarizes views from my recent commented edition of Dedekinds two books on the foundations of mathematics.
Gerhard Hochschild's contribution to the development of mathematics in the XX century is succinctly surveyed. We start with a personal and mathematical biography, and then consider with certain detail his contributions to algebraic groups…
An outline of J\"org Eschmeier's main mathematical contributions is organized both on a historical perspective, as well as on a few distinct topics. The reader can grasp from our essay the dynamics of spectral theory of commutative tuples…
Our interdisciplinary team Mathematics for Applications in Cultural Heritage (MACH) aims to use mathematical research for the benefit of the arts and humanities. Our ultimate goal is to create user-friendly software toolkits for artists,…
Alan Turing is considered as a founder of current computer science together with Kurt Godel, Alonzo Church and John von Neumann. In this paper multiple new research results are presented. It is demonstrated that there would not be Alan…
This is a review of recent results on conformal (super)algebras. It may be viewed as an amplification of my Wigner medal acceptance speech (given in July 1996 in Goslar, Germany) reproduced in the introduction.
In the present note we focus on dynamics on the Gehman dendrite $\mathcal{G}$. It is well-known that the set of its endpoints is homeomorphic to a standard Cantor ternary set. For any given surjective Cantor system $\mathcal{C}$ we provide…
This paper provides some reflections on the field of mathematical software on the occasion of John Rice's 65th birthday. I describe some of the common themes of research in this field and recall some significant events in its evolution.…
We give lower bounds for the Hausdorff dimensions of some model Furstenberg sets.
