A Comparison of the Commonsense and Fixed Point Theories of Nonmonotonicity

نویسنده

  • Frank Brown
چکیده

The mathematical fixed point theories of nonmonotonic reasoning are examined and compared to a commonsense theory of nonmonotonic reasoning which models our intuitive ability to reason about defaults. It is shown that all of the known problems of the fixed point theories are solved by the commonsense theory. The concepts of this commonsense theory do not involve mathematical fixed points, but instead are explicitly defined in a monotonic modal quantificational logic which captures the modal notion of logical truth.

On new faster fixed point iterative schemes for contraction operators and comparison of their rate of convergence in convex metric spaces

In this paper we present new iterative algorithms in convex metric spaces. We show that these iterative schemes are convergent to the fixed point of a single-valued contraction operator. Then we make the comparison of their rate of convergence. Additionally, numerical examples for these iteration processes are given.

New Fixed Point Attacks on GOST2 Block Cipher

GOST block cipher designed in the 1970s and published in 1989 as the Soviet and Russian standard GOST 28147-89. In order to enhance the security of GOST block cipher after proposing various attacks on it, designers published a modified version of GOST, namely GOST2, in 2015 which has a new key schedule and explicit choice for S-boxes. In this paper, by using three exactly identical portions of ...

Some Fixed Point Theorems for Generalized Contractions in Metric Spaces with a Graph

Jachymski [ Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 136 (2008), 1359-1373] gave modified version of a Banach fixed point theorem on a metric space endowed with a graph. In the present paper, (G, Φ)-graphic contractions have been de ned by using a comparison function and studied the existence of fixed points. Also, Hardy-Rogers G-contraction have been introduced and some fixed point theorems have been proved. S...

Rational Geraghty Contractive Mappings and Fixed Point Theorems in Ordered $b_2$-metric Spaces

In 2014, Zead Mustafa introduced $b_2$-metric spaces, as a generalization of both $2$-metric and $b$-metric spaces. Then new fixed point results for the classes of  rational Geraghty contractive mappings of type I,II and III in the setup of $b_2$-metric spaces are investigated. Then, we prove some fixed point theorems under various contractive conditions in partially ordered $b_2$-metric spaces...

Fixed-point FPGA Implementation of a Kalman Filter for Range and Velocity Estimation of Moving Targets

Tracking filters are extensively used within object tracking systems in order to provide consecutive smooth estimations of position and velocity of the object with minimum error. Namely, Kalman filter and its numerous variants are widely known as simple yet effective linear tracking filters in many diverse applications. In this paper, an effective method is proposed for designing and implementa...
