Trope theory is the view that the world is a world of abstract particular qualities. But if all there is are tropes, how do we account for the truth of propositions ostensibly made true by some concrete particular? A common answer is that concrete particulars are nothing but tropes in compresence. This answer seems vulnerable to an argument (first presented by F. H. Bradley) according to which ...

Using WZ-pairs we present simpler proofs of Koecher, Leshchiner and BaileyBorwein-Bradley’s identities for generating functions of the sequences {ζ(2n+2)}n≥0 and {ζ(2n + 3)}n≥0. By the same method, we give several new representations for these generating functions yielding faster convergent series for values of the Riemann zeta function.

In this note we give an upper bound for λ(n), the maximum number of edges in a strongly multiplicative graph of order n, which is sharper than the upper bound obtained by Beineke and Hegde [1].

There is a wide body of research to support the view that children with low levels of phonemic awareness on entering school are more likely to be poorer readers and spellers than those with high levels (Adams, 1990; Bradley & Bryant, 1983, 1985; Frith, 1985; Mann, 1993; Snow, Burns & Griffin, 1998). Because academic success is largely dependent upon reading, teachers need a quick and accurate w...

In this note we give an upper bound for λ(n), the maximum number of edges in a strongly multiplicative graph of order n, which is sharper than the upper bounds given by Beineke and Hegde [3] and Adiga, Ramaswamy and Somashekara [2], for n ≥ 28.
