Bayesians Sometimes Cannot Ignore Even Very Implausible Theories
In applying Bayes’s theorem to the history of science, Bayesians sometimes assume – often without argument – that they can safely ignore very implausible theories. This assumption is false, both in that it can seriously distort the history of science as well as the mathematics and the applicability of Bayes’s theorem. There are intuitively very plausible counter-examples. In fact, one can ignor...
متن کاملFinite groups have even more centralizers
For a finite group $G$, let $Cent(G)$ denote the set of centralizers of single elements of $G$. In this note we prove that if $|G|leq frac{3}{2}|Cent(G)|$ and $G$ is 2-nilpotent, then $Gcong S_3, D_{10}$ or $S_3times S_3$. This result gives a partial and positive answer to a conjecture raised by A. R. Ashrafi [On finite groups with a given number of centralizers, Algebra Collo...

متن کاملProving performance propterties (even probabilistic ones)
This paper surveys some new tools and methods for formally verifying time performance properties of systems that satisfy timing assumptions. The techniques are potentially of practical beneet in the validation of real-time process control and communication systems. The tools and methods include nondeterministic timed automaton models, invariant assertion and simulation techniques for proving wo...
متن کاملOdd permutations are nicer than even ones
We give simple combinatorial proofs of some formulas for the number of factorizations of permutations in Sn as a product of two n-cycles, or of an n-cycle and an (n − 1)-cycle. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
