Non-nonstandard Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
There is an ancient philosphical-religious divide over questions of infinity. This divide extends over mathematics and we see it in many forms. A perfect example is offered by the twin approaches to analysis: limits and infinitesimals. With Robinson’s discovery of nonstandard analysis, both approaches have achieved legitimacy. Today, there is a new approach, non-nonstandard analysis, which, in a sense disolves the old barriers. On the one hand, the language of non-nonstandard analysis is frankly infinite. On the other hand, it is thoroughly standard underneath. The program of non-nonstandard analysis is to reproduce the achievements of nonstandard analysis, but without recourse to the Axiom of Choice or extensive logical machinery. We will discuss a recent success, Loeb-like measures, and an application which hopes to bring together the most radical finitists and infinitists. This talk should be accessible to graduate students. 923325750

A New Approach to Nonstandard Analysis
In this paper, we propose a new approach to nonstandard analysis without using the ultrafilters. This method is very simple in practice. Moreover, we construct explicitly the total order relation in the new field of the infinitesimal numbers. To illustrate the importance of this work, we suggest comparing a few applications of this approach with the former methods.
متن کاملSome Important Concepts in Nonstandard Analysis Theory of Turbulence
Some important concepts in the nonstandard analysis theory of turbulence are presented in this article. The structure of point, on which differential equations are defined, is analyzed. The distinction between the uniform point and the non-uniform point, as well as between the standard point and the nonstandard point, is showed. A new kind of equations, which differ essentially from those in ex...
متن کاملNonstandard finite difference schemes for differential equations
In this paper, the reorganization of the denominator of the discrete derivative and nonlocal approximation of nonlinear terms are used in the design of nonstandard finite difference schemes (NSFDs). Numerical examples confirming then efficiency of schemes, for some differential equations are provided. In order to illustrate the accuracy of the new NSFDs, the numerical results are compared with ...

متن کاملThe Numerical Solution of Klein-Gorden Equation by Using Nonstandard Finite Difference
In this paper we propose a numerical scheme to solve the one dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gorden equation. We describe the mathematical formulation procedure in details. The scheme is three level explicit and based on nonstandard finite difference. It has nonlinear denominator function of the step sizes. Stability analysis of the method has been given and we prove that the proposed meth...
