In this paper, I present two ampliative adaptive logics: LA and LA. LA is an adaptive logic for abduction that enables one to generate explanatory hypotheses from a set of observational statements and a set of background assumptions. LA is based on LA and has the peculiar property that it selects those explanatory hypotheses that are empirically most successful. The aim of LA is to capture the ...

The critical behaviour of a system of two coupled scalar fields in three dimensions is studied within the formalism of the effective average action. The fixed points of the system are identified and the crossover between them is described in detail. Besides the universal critical behaviour, the flow of the coarse grained free energy also describes the approach to scaling. e-mail: bornholdt@theo...

We consider the reordering buffer problem on a line consisting of n equidistant points. We show that, for any constant δ, an (offline) algorithm that has a buffer (1− δ) · k performs worse by a factor ofΩ(log n) than an offline algorithmwith buffer k. Inparticular, this demonstrates that theO(logn)-competitive online algorithmMovingPartition by Gamzu and Segev (ACM Trans. on Algorithms, 6(1), 2...

Let G be a random subgraph of the n-cube where each edge appears randomly and independently with probability p. We prove that the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of G is almost surely λ1(G) = (1 + o(1))max ( 1/2(G), np ) , where (G) is the maximum degree ofG and theo(1) term tends to zero as max( 1/2(G), np) tends to infinity.

om the highly theo“God does not play dice with the universe” was Albert Einstein’s famous objection to modern quantum-mechanics theory. This and similar objections reflect the human conceptual difficulty in grasping a world that is not governed by fully deterministic laws. Nevertheless, research in the past century has demonstrated the dominance of random behavior and statistical laws in almost...
