Generics in information structure: exceptions versus counterexamples

Exceptions to Generics: Where Vagueness, Context Dependence and Modality Interact

This paper deals with the exceptions-tolerance property of generic sentences with indefinite singular and bare plural subjects (IS and BP generics, respectively) and with the way this property is connected to some well-known observations about felicity differences between the two types of generics (e.g. Lawler’s 1973, Madrigals are popular vs. #A madrigal is popular). I show that whereas both I...

Highly arc-transitive digraphs - Structure and counterexamples

Two problems of Cameron, Praeger, and Wormald [Infinite highly arc transitive digraphs and universal covering digraphs, Combinatorica (1993)] are resolved. First, locally finite highly arc-transitive digraphs with universal reachability relation are presented. Second, constructions of two-ended highly arc-transitive digraphs are provided, where each ‘building block’ is a finite bipartite digrap...

Highly arc-transitive digraphs – counterexamples and structure∗

We resolve two problems of [Cameron, Praeger, and Wormald – Infinite highly arc transitive digraphs and universal covering digraphs, Combinatorica 1993]. First, we construct a locally finite highly arc-transitive digraph with universal reachability relation. Second, we provide constructions of 2-ended highly arc transitive digraphs where each ‘building block’ is a finite bipartite graph that is...

COUNTEREXAMPLES IN CHAOTIC GENERALIZED SHIFTS

‎In the following text for arbitrary $X$ with at least two elements‎, ‎nonempty countable set $Gamma$‎ ‎we make a comparative study on the collection of generalized shift dynamical systems like $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ where $varphi:GammatoGamma$ is an arbitrary self-map‎. ‎We pay attention to sub-systems and combinations of generalized shifts with counterexamples regarding Devaney‎, ‎exact Dev...
