Mcdaniel Distance and Discrete Space

چکیده
Let us say that space is discrete if and only if every finite extended region of space is composed of finitely many atomic regions of space. I assume here that regions of space are individuals rather than sets of points, and have mereological structure; their parts are all and only their subregions. A region of space is an atomic region if and only if it has no proper parts, i.e., if and only if it is a mereological atom. In what follows, I will simply call atomic regions of space ‘atoms’. Let us assume that, necessarily, all atoms are unextended regions, i.e., points of space. According to the Weyl Tile argument, no world with discrete space could approximate a world with continuous space because (1) the Pythagorean theorem fails to hold in worlds with discrete space and (2) it is not even approximated as the number of points in a finite region approaches infinity.1 Consider the following space (asterisks represent points):

Discrete time robust control of robot manipulators in the task space using adaptive fuzzy estimator
This paper presents a discrete-time robust control for electrically driven robot manipulators in the task space. A novel discrete-time model-free control law is proposed by employing an adaptive fuzzy estimator for the compensation of the uncertainty including model uncertainty, external disturbances and discretization error. Parameters of the fuzzy estimator are adapted to minimize the estimat...
متن کاملA note on Volterra and Baire spaces
In Proposition 2.6 in (G. Gruenhage, A. Lutzer, Baire and Volterra spaces, textit{Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.} {128} (2000), no. 10, 3115--3124) a condition that every point of $D$ is $G_delta$ in $X$ was overlooked. So we proved some conditions by which a Baire space is equivalent to a Volterra space. In this note we show that if $X$ is a monotonically normal $T_1...
متن کاملA Discrete Hybrid Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization algorithm for optimization of space trusses
In this study, to enhance the optimization process, especially in the structural engineering field two well-known algorithms are merged together in order to achieve an improved hybrid algorithm. These two algorithms are Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) and Harmony Search (HS) which have been used by most researchers in varied fields of science. The hybridized algorithm is called A Di...
متن کاملAdmissibility analysis for discrete-time singular systems with time-varying delays by adopting the state-space Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model
This paper is pertained with the problem of admissibility analysis of uncertain discrete-time nonlinear singular systems by adopting the state-space Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model with time-delays and norm-bounded parameter uncertainties. Lyapunov Krasovskii functionals are constructed to obtain delay-dependent stability condition in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which is dependent on the low...
متن کاملA regularization method for solving a nonlinear backward inverse heat conduction problem using discrete mollification method
The present essay scrutinizes the application of discrete mollification as a filtering procedure to solve a nonlinear backward inverse heat conduction problem in one dimensional space. These problems are seriously ill-posed. So, we combine discrete mollification and space marching method to address the ill-posedness of the proposed problem. Moreover, a proof of stability and<b...
