Essentially Grounded Non-Naturalism and Normative Supervenience

Essentially Non-Oscillatory and Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory Schemes for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws

In these lecture notes we describe the construction, analysis, and application of ENO (Essentially Non-Oscillatory) and WENO (Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory) schemes for hyperbolic conservation laws and related Hamilton-Jacobi equations. ENO and WENO schemes are high order accurate finite difference schemes designed for problems with piecewise smooth solutions containing discontinuities. ...

Supervenience and Infinitary Logic

The discussion of supervenience is replete with the use of infinitary logical operations. For instance, one may often find a supervenient property that corresponds to an infinite collection of supervenience-base properties, and then ask about the infinite disjunction of all those base properties. This is crucial to a well-known argument of Kim (1984) that supervenience comes nearer to reduction...

Normative and non-normative concepts: Paternalism and libertarian paternalism

This chapter concerns the normativity of the concepts of paternalism and libertarian paternalism. The first concept is central to evaluation of public health policy, but its meaning is controversial. The second concept is equally controversial and has received much attention recently. It may or may not shape the future evaluation of public health policy. In order to facilitate honest and fruitf...

Essentially Non-Oscillatory Adaptive Tree Methods

We develop high order essentially non-oscillatory (ENO) schemes on non-uniform meshes based on generalized binary trees. The idea is to adopt an appropriate data structure which allows to communicate information easily between unstructured data structure and virtual uniform meshes. While the generalized binary trees as an unstructured data structure can store solution information efficiently if...
