Revisiting Linguistic Approximation for Computing with Words

Any computing with words (CW) system is required to assign a phrase in natural language to the fuzzy values it provides as its output. This paper explores different linguistic approximation methods for CW systems. The outputs of these methods are evaluated through various measures such as fuzziness, specificity, validity, and sigma-count. We illustrate that certain linguistic methods may result...

Analog quantum computing (AQC) by revisiting the underlying physics

It has been proven that universal quantum computers based on qubits and classical analog networks both have superTuring capabilities. It is a grand challenge to computer science to prove that the combination of the two, in analog (continuous variable) quantum computing, offers supersuperTuring capability, the best we can achieve. Computing with continuous spins is now the most promising path AQ...

Revisiting the stability of computing the roots of a quadratic polynomial

We show in this paper that the roots x1 and x2 of a scalar quadratic polynomial ax2+bx+c = 0 with real or complex coefficients a, b c can be computed in a elementwise mixed stable manner, measured in a relative sense. We also show that this is a stronger property than norm-wise backward stability, but weaker than element-wise backward stability. We finally show that there does not exist any met...
