Intuitionistic set theory without choice axioms does not prove that every Cauchy sequence of rationals has a modulus of convergence, or that the set of Cauchy sequences of rationals is Cauchy complete. Several other related non-provability results are also shown.

In this paper, the existence and uniqueness theorems for a solution to an uncertain characteristic Cauchy reaction-diffusion problem is studied by Adomian decomposition method. Sufficient conditions are presented for uniform convergence of the proposed method. Also, some illustrative examples are given for solving the problem. Key WordsUncertain characteristic Cauchy problem, System of characte...

Recently, folk questions on the smoothability of Cauchy hypersurfaces and time functions of a globally hyperbolic spacetime M , have been solved. Here we give further results, applicable to several problems: (1) Any compact spacelike acausal submanifold H with boundary can be extended to a spacelike Cauchy hypersurface S. If H were only achronal, counterexamples to the smooth extension exist, b...

The duality between “regular” and “topological” as convergence space properties extends in a natural way to the more general properties “p-regular” and “p-topological.” Since earlier papers have investigated regular,p-regular, and topological Cauchy completions, we hereby initiate a study of p-topological Cauchy completions. A p-topological Cauchy space has a p-topological completion if and onl...

The usual domains for Cauchy distributions have been straight lines and unit circles. These domains are closed under arbitrary changes in location and scale, whether done sequentially or simultaneously. Such closure properties have been extended to spherical Cauchy distributions. Higher dimensional Cauchy based domains are created herein for unit hyperspheres and sets of straight lines of arbit...

The standard choice for mutating an individual of an evolutionary algorithm with con tinuous variables is the normal distribution however other distributions especially some versions of the multivariate Cauchy distribution have recently gained increased popularity in practical applications Here the extent to which Cauchy mutation distributions may a ect the local convergence behavior of evoluti...

In this contribution we deal with the development, theoretical examination and numerical examples of a method of lines approximation for the Cauchy problem for elliptic partial differential equations. We restrict ourselves to the Laplace equation. A more general elliptic equation containing a diffusion coefficient will be considered in a forthcoming paper. Our main results are the regularizatio...

We show that public-key bit encryption schemes which support weak (i.e., compact) homomorphic evaluation of any sufficiently “sensitive” collection of functions cannot be proved message indistinguishable beyond AM ∩ coAM via general (adaptive) reductions, and beyond statistical zero-knowledge via reductions of constant query complexity. Examples of sensitive collections include parities, majori...

By considering the energy cost of messages carried by proteins as proportional to their information content we found experimental proof that proteins from all living organisms tend to have their estimated semantic content of information per unit mass, statistically, close to a constant. Thus, in the message carried by proteins −to achieve minimum energy waste− the rate of information content pe...

This paper provides simple approximations for evaluating option prices and implied volatilities under stochastic volatility. Simple recursive formulae are derived that can easily be implemented in spreadsheets. The traditional random walk assumption, dominating in the analysis of financial markets, is compared with mean reversion which is often more relevant in commodity markets. Deterministic ...
