A Remark on Collective Quantification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider collective quantification in natural language. For many years the common strategy in formalizing collective quantification has been to define the meanings of collective determiners, quantifying over collections, using certain typeshifting operations. These type-shifting operations, i.e., lifts, define the collective interpretations of determiners systematically from the standard meanings of quantifiers. All the lifts considered in the literature turn out to be definable in second-order logic. We argue that second-order definable quantifiers are probably not expressive enough to formalize all collective quantification in natural language.

A remark on boundedness of composition operators between weighted spaces of holomorphic functions on the upper half-plane
In this paper, we obtain a sucient condition for boundedness of composition operators betweenweighted spaces of holomorphic functions on the upper half-plane whenever our weights are standardanalytic weights, but they don't necessarily satisfy any growth condition.

متن کاملA remark on the means of the number of divisors
We obtain the asymptotic expansion of the sequence with general term $frac{A_n}{G_n}$, where $A_n$ and $G_n$ are the arithmetic and geometric means of the numbers $d(1),d(2),dots,d(n)$, with $d(n)$ denoting the number of positive divisors of $n$. Also, we obtain some explicit bounds concerning $G_n$ and $frac{A_n}{G_n}$.
