on semihypergroups and hypergroups

in this thesis, first the notion of weak mutual associativity (w.m.a.) and the necessary and sufficient condition for a $(l,gamma)$-associated hypersemigroup $(h, ast)$ derived from some family of $lesssim$-preordered semigroups to be a hypergroup, are given. second, by proving the fact that the concrete categories, semihypergroups and hypergroups have not free objects we will introduce t...

On Combinatorial Possible Worlds

Combinatorial worlds can be used to give an account of necessity and possibility. Both accessibility and similarity between worlds can be deened. In this paper, we claim that combinatorial worlds can form a knowledge representation framework, and provide an interesting approach to nonmonotonic reasoning and belief revision. We investigate such aspects of the combinatorial worlds framework as co...

Actualism and possible worlds

THE IDEA of possible worlds has both promised and, I believe, delivered understanding and insight in a wide range of topics. Pre-eminent here, I think, is the topic of broadly logical possibility, both de &to and de re.
