Recent years have witnessed major advances in our understanding of nonequilibrium processes. The Jarzynski equality, for example, provides a link between equilibrium free energy differences and finite-time nonequilibrium dynamics. We propose a generalization of this relation to non-Hamiltonian dynamics, relevant for active matter systems, continuous feedback, and computer simulation. Surprising...

The notion of extensionality of a fuzzy relation w.r.t. a fuzzy equivalence was first introduced by Höhle and Blanchard. Bělohlávek introduced a similar definition of compatibility of a fuzzy relation w.r.t. a fuzzy equality. In [14] we generalized this notion to left compatibility, right compatibility and compatibility of arbitrary fuzzy relations and we characterized them in terms of left and...

Terminology: We’ll say that two polynomials p, q are congruent, and write p ≡ q, if their equality is a consequence of our given relation. To be consistent, we also write the given relation as f ≡ 0. We must explain the consequences of f ≡ 0 specifically. They are that if u, v are any polynomials, then the product ufv is congruent to zero, as is a finite sum of such products. That is all. For i...

We investigate dependence of recursively enumerable graphs on the equality relation given by a specific r.e. equivalence relation on ω. In particular we compare r.e. equivalence relations in terms of graphs they permit to represent. This defines partially ordered sets that depend on classes of graphs under consideration. We investigate some algebraic properties of these partially ordered sets. ...

This essay explores the relation between democracy and social equality. It critically evaluates relational egalitarian view that is necessary for full equality an important constituent of On such a view, inequalities in power de facto authority are taken, certain circumstances, to constitute form inequality. basis series cases, I argue mistaken, political are, at best, empirically contingently ...
