the notion of vague ideals in pseudo mv-algebras is introduced,and several properties are investigated. conditions for a vague set to be avague ideal are provided. conditions for a vague ideal to be implicative aregiven. characterizations of (implicative, prime) vague ideals are discussed.the smallest vague ideal containing a given vague set is established. primeand implicative extension proper...

We propose that not all such arguments are on a par. The first section of the paper distinguishes dialectically effective from dialectically ineffective arguments against metaphysical vagueness. The second section constructs an argument against metaphysical vagueness – specifically, an argument against objects that are indeterminate in what parts they have – which promises to be dialectically e...

David Lewis (1986) criticizes moderate views of composition on the grounds that a restriction on composition must be vague, and vague composition leads, via a precisificational theory of vagueness, to an absurd vagueness of existence. I show how to resist this argument. Unlike the usual resistance, however, I do not jettison precisificational views of vagueness. Instead, I blur the connection b...

Dujmović, Joret, Micek, Morin, Ueckerdt and Wood [J. ACM 2020] proved that for every planar graph $G$ there is a $H$ with treewidth at most 8 path $P$ such $G\subseteq H\boxtimes P$. We improve this result by replacing "treewidth 8" "simple 6".

Unextendible product bases (UPBs) play a key role in the study of quantum entanglement and nonlocality. Here we provide an equivalent characterization UPBs graph-theoretic terms. Different from previous investigations UPBs, which focused mostly on orthogonality relations between different states, our includes reformulation unextendibility condition. Building this characterization, develop const...

Vague information is common in many database applications due to internet-scale data dissemination, such as those data arising from sensor networks and mobile communications. We have formalized the notion of a vague relation in order to model vague data in our previous work. In this paper, we utilize Functional Dependencies (FDs), which are the most fundamental integrity constraints that arise ...
