چکیده

Several useful identities involving the fixed point or itération opération are conséquences ofjust the Conway theory axioms. In this paper we give several characterizations of thefree Conway théories including a concrete description based on "aperiodîc" homomorphisms of flowehart schemes. It follows from this concrete description that the équations that hold in Conway théories are exactly the valid "group-free" équations of itération théories, moreover, the equational theory of Conway théories is PSPACE-complete. © Elsevier, Paris Résumé. Plusieurs identités mettant en jeu les opérateurs de point fixe ou d'itération sont conséquences des seuls axiomes de la théorie de Conway. Nous donnons dans ce papier plusieurs caractérisations des théories libres de Conway, dont une description concrète basée sur des morphismes "apériodiques" de systèmes d'organigrammes. Cette description concrète entraîne que les équations valides dans les théories de Conway sont exactement les équations valides "sansgroupes" des théories d'itération, et de plus, que la théorie équationnelle des théories de Conway est YSPACE-complète. © Elsevier, Paris

The Semantics of the Goodness and the Ugly

  There are different views concerning the meanings of the most important ethical concepts such as the goodness and the ugly. The author of this article while classifying various views and explaining them, tries to make a critical study of those views as well. Accordingly, first he goes on to examine critically the theory of emotionalists as one of the most important non-cognitive theories. Th...

Functorial semantics of topological theories

Following the categorical approach to universal algebra through algebraic theories, proposed by F.~W.~Lawvere in his PhD thesis, this paper aims at introducing a similar setting for general topology. The cornerstone of the new framework is the notion of emph{categorically-algebraic} (emph{catalg}) emph{topological theory}, whose models induce a category of topological structures. We introduce t...

Conformity of Drug Abuse International Standards, Psychological and Sociologic Theories and Drug and Alcohol Use Prevention in Iran in 4 National Development Programs

Background: The international drug abuse standards were achieved by review of a vast meta-analysis in the world and released 2 years ago in Vienna. Review of national programs in recent 20 years and conformity of them is the main objective of this presentation. Methods: Based on research that was supported by UNODC and DCHQ, the demand reduction program in Iran at the mentioned time was studied...

Defeasibility in Answer Set Programs via Argumentation Theories

Defeasible reasoning has been studied extensively in the last two decades and many different and dissimilar approaches are currently on the table. This multitude of ideas has made the field hard to navigate and the different techniques hard to compare. Our earlier work on Logic Programming with Defaults and Argumentation Theories (LPDA) introduced a degree of unification into the approaches tha...

The Alternating Semantics for Default Theories and Logic Programs

In this paper we propose a semantics for default theories, based on van Gelder's alternating xpoint theory. The distinct feature of this semantics is its preservation of Reiter's semantics when a default theory is not considered \problematic" under Reiter's semantics. Diierences arise only when a default theory has no extensions, or has only \biased extensions" under Reiter's semantics. This fe...
