This paper summarizes various interpretations of emotional arguments, with a focus on the mode argument introduced in multi-modal argumentation model (Gilbert, 1994). From there author shifts from descriptive account arguments to discussion about normative framework. Pointing out problems evaluative models mode, paradigmatic shift captured by Amenable Argumentation Approach is explained as way ...

The concept of an automatic structure has been generalized from groups [ECH+] to semigroups [CRRT]. Several authors [CRR, Hof, Kam] have asked the following question: Let S be a finitely generated semigroup embeddable in a group and let G be its universal group [CP, Chapter ]. If G is automatic, must S be automatic? Examples in favour of this implication include: free groups and s...

We consider pseudodifferential operators that have non-smooth negative definite symbols and develop a corresponding symbolic calculus. Combining this symbolic calculus with the use of non-smooth symbols that are asymptotically constant in the co-variable we succeed in finding a parametrix for a certain pseudodifferential equation. This in turn allows us to show that some pseudodifferential oper...

Clifford and Preston (1961) showed several important characterizations of right groups. It was shown in Roy and So (1998) that, among topological semigroups, compact right simple or left cancellative semigroups are in fact right groups, and the closure of a right simple subsemigroup of a compact semigroup is always a right subgroup. In this paper, it is shown that such results can be generalize...

We generalize the concept of near weight stated in [2007, IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 53(5), 1919–1924] in the sense that we consider maps to arbitrary wellordered semigroups instead of the nonnegative integers. This concept can be used as a tool to study AG codes based on more than one point via elementary methods only.

In this paper we introduce the notion of fuzzy  semigroup via fuzzy partial ordering and investigate some properties connected with fuzzy  semigroup. Keyword: Fuzzy  semigroup

For a Banach algebra $A$, $A''$ is $(-1)$-Weakly amenable if $A'$ is a Banach $A''$-bimodule and $H^1(A'',A')={0}$. In this paper, among other things,  we study the relationships between the $(-1)$-Weakly amenability of $A''$ and the weak amenability of $A''$ or $A$. Moreover, we show that the second dual of every $C^ast$-algebra is $(-1)$-Weakly amenable.
