The justification of mathematical statements.
The uncompromising ethos of pure mathematics in the early post-war period was that any theorem should be provided with a proof which the reader could and should check. Two things have made this no longer realistic: (i) the appearance of increasingly long and complicated proofs and (ii) the involvement of computers. This paper discusses what compromises the mathematical community needs to make a...
متن کامل3 D - Shell Elements and Their Underlying Mathematical Model
We focus on a family of shell elements which are a direct generalization of the shell elements most commonly used in engineering practice. The elements in the family include the effects of the through-the-thickness normal stress and can be employed to couple directly with surrounding media on either surfaces of the shell. We establish the “underlying” mathematical model of the shell discretizat...
متن کاملCentral Functions and Their Physical Implications
I define central functions c(g) and c(g) in quantum field theory. These quantities are useful to study the flow of the numbers of vector, spinor and scalar degrees of freedom from the UV limit to the IR limit and justify the notions of secondary central charges recently introduced at criticality. Moreover, they are the basic ingredients for a description of quantum field theory as an interpolat...
متن کاملMathematical justification of the Aharonov-Bohm hamiltonian
It is presented, in the framework of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, a justification of the usual Aharonov-Bohm hamiltonian (with solenoid of radius greater than zero). This is obtained by way of increasing sequences of finitely long solenoids together with a natural impermeability procedure; further, both limits commute. Such rigorous limits are in the strong resolvent sense and in both R a...
متن کاملWater Wave Problems, Their Mathematical Solution and Physical Interpretation *
A typical linear water wave problem is a boundary-value problem involving partial differential equations and boundary conditions. Such a problem is usually solved by applying a sequence of mathematical arguments, and it would be helpful if some or all of the successive steps in this sequence could be given a physical interpretation. In the author’s experience this is generally not possible. Ill...
