The Basic Theorem and its Consequences

Let T be a compact Hausdorff topological space and let M denote an n–dimensional subspace of the space C(T ), the space of real–valued continuous functions on T and let the space be equipped with the uniform norm. Zukhovitskii [7] attributes the Basic Theorem to E.Ya.Remez and gives a proof by duality. He also gives a proof due to Shnirel’man, which uses Helly’s Theorem, now the paper obtains a...

Covid-19 and its Psychological Consequences

In December 2019, a new type of coronavirus was identified in Wuhan, China, and spread rapidly throughout China. The spread of Covid-19 was unique due to its rapid transmission, which created an emergency situation in global health in less than a few months around the world.

Multilevel Accentuation and its Role in the Memorization of Narrative

The paper is dedicated to the phenomenon of accentuation on multiple narrative levels. Accentuation is a textual device that indicates the elements of narrative that have to be memorized by readers. It is different from the well known notion of foregrounding, as accentuation does not violate the norm, but, on the contrary, is in itself conventional. While foregrounding draws readers’ attention ...

Nonmonotonic Consequences in Default Model Theory

Default model theory is a nonmonotonic formalism for representing and reasoning about commonsense knowledge. Although this theory is motivated by ideas in Reiter's work on default logic, it is a very diierent, in some sense dual framework. We make Reiter's default extension operator into a constructive method of building models, not theories. Domain theory, which is a well established tool for ...
