Shoemaker on Phenomenal Content

In a series of papers and lectures, Sydney Shoemaker has developed a sophisticated Russellian theory of phenomenal content (1994, 2000, 2001, 2003). It has as its central motivation two considerations. One is the possibility of spectrum-inversion without illusion. The other is the transparency of experience. Consider the possibility of spectrum inversion. It might be that the color experience J...

Quest for an Intelligent Convergence Solution for the Well-Known David, Fletcher and Powell Quadratic Function Using Supervised Models

Optimization models tend to resolve complex task by exploiting historic data whose underlying probability feats yield optimal solution. It achieves this also, by exploring domain knowledge and symbolic reasoning expressed as mathematical model to yield a heuristic method that is both tolerant to noise, accepts partial truth, uncertainty and ambiguities at its input–while, exhibiting a great lev...

A multivariate Powell-Sabin interpolant

We consider the problem of constructing a C1 piecewise quadratic interpolant, Q, to positional and gradient data defined at the vertices of a tessellation of n-simplices in IR. The key to the interpolation scheme is to appropriately subdivide each simplex to ensure that certain necessary geometric constraints are satisfied by the subdivision points. We establish these constraints using the Bern...
