Mechanizing the Traditional Approach to Partial Functions

نویسنده

  • William M. Farmer
چکیده

In traditional mathematics it is legitimate to apply a (partial) function to an argument outside of its domain, but the resulting term is treated as having no value. Moreover, the informal logic of traditional mathematics is two-valued despite the presence of nondenoting terms. This paper shows how this traditional approach to partial functions can be implemented in mechanized mathematics systems.

A new approach to using the cubic B-spline functions to solve the Black-Scholes equation

Nowadays, options are common financial derivatives. For this reason, by increase of applications for these financial derivatives, the problem of options pricing is one of the most important economic issues. With the development of stochastic models, the need for randomly computational methods caused the generation of a new field called financial engineering. In the financial engineering the pre...

Partial second-order subdifferentials of -prox-regular functions

Although prox-regular functions in general are nonconvex, they possess properties that one would expect to find in convex or lowerC2  functions. The class of prox-regular functions covers all convex functions, lower C2  functions and strongly amenable functions. At first, these functions have been identified in finite dimension using proximal subdifferential. Then, the definition of prox-regula...

Total and Partial efficiency indexes in data envelopment analysis

Introduction: Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a data-oriented method for measuring and benchmarking the relative efficiency of peer decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. DEA was initiated in 1978 when Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (CCR) demonstrated how to change a fractional linear measure of efficiency into a linear programming format. This non-parametric app...

AN OPTIMUM APPROACH TOWARDS SEISMIC FRAGILITY FUNCTION OF STRUCTURES THROUGH METAHEURISTIC HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM

Vulnerability assessment of structures encounter many uncertainties like seismic excitations intensity and response of structures. The most common approach adopted to deal with these uncertainties is vulnerability assessment through fragility functions. Fragility functions exhibit the probability of exceeding a state namely performance-level as a function of seismic intensity. A common approach...

Skeletons and the Shapes of Bundles

Skeletons model partial information about regular (honest) behavior in an execution of a cryptographic protocol. A homomorphism between skeletons is an information-preserving map. Much protocol analysis may be regarded as an exploration of the properties of the category of skeletons and homomorphisms. In particular, the strand space authentication tests are special homomorphisms. These ideas su...
