Another Solution to the Problem of Theoretical Terms
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a solution to the problem of theoretical terms is developed that is based on Carnap’s doctrine of indirect interpretation of theoretical terms. This doctrine will be given a semantic, model-theoretic explanation that is not given by Carnap himself as he remains content with a syntactic explanation. From that semantic explanation, rules for the truth-value assignment to postulates, i.e. sentences that determine the meaning of theoretical terms, are derived. The logical status of postulates will be clarified thereby in such a way that the problem of theoretical terms disappears.

APPLICABILITY OF THE WELL OPERATED CONDITIONS FOR THE SOLUTION OF MIXED PROBLEM ATTRIBUTED TO SCHR?DINGER EQUATION
As a sequel of the recent works, we would like to discuss another stage for the solution of the mixed problem which considers the concepts of well operated conditions applicable to the solution of mixed problem, i.e. the existence and uniqueness of the solution must always conformable with some assumptions.
متن کاملمسیریابی حرکت روبات‌های ماشین‌واره با روش پیشروی سریع
The Robot Motion Planning (RMP) problem deals with finding a collision-free start-to-goal path for a robot navigating among workspace obstacles. Such a problem is also encountered in path planning of intelligent vehicles and Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs). In terms of kinematic constraints, the RMP problem can be categorized into two groups of Holonomic and Nonholonomic problems. In the first...
متن کاملHigh Accuracy Relative Motion of Spacecraft Using Linearized Time-Varying J2-Perturbed Terms
This paper presents a set of linearized equations was derived for the motion, relative to an elliptical reference orbit, of an object influenced by J2 perturbation terms. Approximate solution for simulations was used to compare these equations and the linearized keplerian equations to the exact equations. The inclusion of the linearized perturbations in the derived equations increased the high ...
متن کاملA Risk-averse Inventory-based Supply Chain Protection Problem with Adapted Stochastic Measures under Intentional Facility Disruptions: Decomposition and Hybrid Algorithms
Owing to rising intentional events, supply chain disruptions have been considered by setting up a game between two players, namely, a designer and an interdictor contesting on minimizing and maximizing total cost, respectively. The previous studies have found the equilibrium solution by taking transportation, penalty and restoration cost into account. To contribute further, we examine how incor...
متن کاملAn Experimental and Theoretical Study of Freezing of Pure Aluminum
In this work, Boltzmann transform has been used to analyze the problem of freezing of pure Aluminum in semi-infinite domain. The uniqueness of solution (solidification front location) has been proved using the characteristics of the functions appeared in solution. The effect of density change on temperature distribution and errors resulting from ignoring this change have been investigated. The ...
