The stability of linear operators
… are obtained. This problem was first attacked by John von Neumann using Fourier analysis. It has also been studied in the context of the theory of semi-groups of operators. It seemed that the problem could be studied with profit if set in a more abstract structure. The concepts of the stability of …

An Exploration of Rule Clustering in Cellular Automata Rule Spaces
… is cellular automata. Since its discovery by John von Neumann, there have been no consistent ways of categorizing similarities between cellular automata rules or collecting similar rules for observation. This thesis introduces an approach to identifying clusters of similar rules and extracting …

Elegant Complexity: The Presence of Cold War Game Theory In Postmodern American Fiction
… mathematics that originated in 1944, with John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern's publication of <em>Theory of Games and Economic Behavior</em>. In this dissertation, I illustrate a variety of rhetorical strategies that resist the profoundly dehumanizing effects of Cold War game theory--a …

Extending modules relative to module classes
… study of injectives but also from the work of John von Neumann mentioned above. Some results obtained for injective modules can be transferred readily to injective modules with respect to R-module classes X. In chapter three, we investigate the injective and also quasi-injective modules with …

Merging the Natural with the Artificial: The Nature of a Machine and the Collapse of Cybernetics
… that the contributions of William Ross Ashby and John von Neumann shed light onto the particular ways in which cybernetics understood the nature and behavior of a machine. Ross Ashby offered an account of the nature of a machine and then extended the scope of “the mechanical”. This extension would …

Towards reliable organisms: fault-tolerance in unconventional models of computation
… errors into the computation. Early work by John von Neumann showed that computers composed of imperfect components could be used to simulate perfect computation with high probability through the introduction of redundancy at the hardware level, i.e. they could be made fault-tolerant if …

Álgebras de Leibniz de longitud máxima
… de la Mecánica Cuántica. Pascual Jordan, John von Neumann y Eugene Wigner fueron los primeros en introducir este tipo de álgebras, concretamente las álgebras de Jordan, en 1934 y posteriormente aparecen las álgebras de Lie y las de Leibniz, estas últimas introducidas por Jean¿Louis Loday …
