Vagueness by Numbers? No Worries
Take the vague predicate ‘tall’: I claim that any numbers assigned in an attempt to capture the vagueness of ‘tall’ do no more than serve as another measure of height. More generally, in so far as it is possible to assign numbers which respect certain truths about, for example, comparative relations, this is no more than a measure of an attribute related to, or underlying, the vague predicate. ...
متن کاملZarankiewicz Numbers and Bipartite Ramsey Numbers
The Zarankiewicz number z(b; s) is the maximum size of a subgraph of Kb,b which does not contain Ks,s as a subgraph. The two-color bipartite Ramsey number b(s, t) is the smallest integer b such that any coloring of the edges of Kb,b with two colors contains a Ks,s in the rst color or a Kt,t in the second color.In this work, we design and exploit a computational method for bounding and computing...
متن کاملCalculator for Fuzzy Numbers
This paper has been discussed and reviewed two R packages FuzzyNumbers and Calculator.LR.FNs. These packages have the ability of installation on R software, and in fact they propose some useful instruments and functions to the users for draw and easily using arithmetic operators on LR fuzzy numbers. For the convenience of the readers, the proposed methods and functions have been presen...
متن کاملVagueness by Numbers ? No Worries NICHOLAS
Theories of vagueness based upon fuzzy set theory countenance a continuum of degrees of truth, usually represented by the real numbers between 0 and 1 inclusive (with 0 representing falsity simpliciter and 1 representing truth simpliciter). Keefe (1998) argues against such theories of vagueness. 1 Keefe writes: Take the vague predicate 'tall': I claim that any numbers assigned in an attempt to ...
متن کاملActa Arith. 124(2006), no. 1, 41–57. ON q-EULER NUMBERS, q-SALIÉ NUMBERS AND q-CARLITZ NUMBERS
for any nonnegative integers n, s, t with 2 ∤ t, where [k]q = (1−q)/(1−q); this is a q-analogue of Stern’s congruence E2n+2s ≡ E2n +2 (mod 2s+1). We also prove that (−q; q)n = ∏ 0<k6n(1 + q ) divides S2n(q) and the numerator of C2n(q); this extends Carlitz’s result that 2 divides the Salié number S2n and the numerator of the Carlitz number C2n. Our result on q-Salié numbers implies a conjecture...
