Godel's incompleteness theorems
<p>"Incompleteness or inconsistency? Kurt Godel shocked the mathematical community in 1931 when he proved any effectively generated, sufficiently complex, and sound axiomatic system could not be both consistent and complete. This thesis will explore two formal languages of logic and their …

Axiomatization and Incompleteness in Arithmetic and Set Theory
Axiomatization and Incompleteness in Arithmetic and Set Theory Wesley Duncan Wrigley I argue that are (at least) two distinct kinds of mathematical incompleteness. Part A of the thesis discusses Gödelian incompleteness, while Part B is concerned with set-theoretic incompleteness. Both parts are …

Completeness and incompleteness in Geoffrey Chaucer's The canterbury tales
<p>The author commences with an analysis of the nature of completeness in a variety of situations and media, including visual arts, music, video arts and literature. "Completeness" is determined to be both difficult to define and subject to any individual's personal interpretation. A distinction is …

Learning from multiple heterogeneous sources - Handling source trustworthiness and incompleteness
… approach. Though we already address the issue of incompleteness, the issue of the inaccuracy of the original labels remains challenging. To further investigate the heterogeneous label spaces problem, we propose a new framework called cross self-training to utilize the label prediction on the …

Incompleteness + interoperability: a multi-paradigm approach to parallel programming for science and engineering applications
We discuss an object-based, multi-paradigm approach to the development of large-scale, high performance parallel applications. Our approach is characterized by three essential ingredients: (i) Plurality, i.e. a programmer decomposes her application into a number of smaller, and relatively …

Modeling Optimal Information Acquisition Time Driven by Event Importance for Decision Making: Integrating Gödel's Incompleteness, Turing's Computability, and Simon's Bounded Rationality
Στο πλαίσιο της λήψης αποφάσεων υπό συνθήκες αβεβαιότητας, η διαδικασία απόκτησης πληροφορίας διαδραματίζει κρίσιμο ρόλο στη βελτιστοποίηση των αποτελεσμάτων. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία διερευνά τον βέλτιστο χρονισμό της απόκτησης πληροφορίας, ιδιαίτερα σε σενάρια όπου η σημαντικότητα των …

Learning discriminative models with incomplete data
… etc. Often in real-world scenarios there can be incompleteness in the training data. There can be missing channels due to sensor failures in multi-sensory data and many data points in the training set might be unlabeled. Further, instead of having exact labels we might have easy to obtain coarse …

Disgust propensity, fear of contamination and underlying dimensions of obsessive-compulsive symptoms
… the mediating role of harm avoidance and incompleteness, the proposed underlying motivational factors of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), in the relationship between disgust and fear of contamination. In total, 170 undergratuate students at the University of Iceland answered …

On sources of risk in quadratic hedging and incomplete markets
… each dealing with a different aspect of market incompleteness and its consequences on quadratic hedging strategies and hedging errors. The first chapter studies the effects of market incompleteness due to discrete time trading. We derive the asymptotics (in trading frequency) of the quadratic …

A theoretical and empirical investigation of prime and score: An application of two-state option pricing model
… scores. As an alternative explanation, market incompleteness hypothesis is derived and tested. The empirical results support the market incompleteness hypothesis.

The ‘Nasyon': a critical exploration of the ‘Nasyon's' persisting dissociation from political power in Mauritius

KVA in Black Scholes Pricing
… has led to renewed zeal in quantifying market incompleteness when pricing contingent claims. This quantification exercise is necessary in maintaining a stable and sustainable banking operation and thus the XVAs have emerged as the metrics for market incompleteness. This dissertation focuses …

Water and sociality in Khayelitsha: an ethnographic study
… with inequitable development patterns. Using incompleteness and conviviality as framework, the study seeks to understand how ideas of social formation, belonging, marginality, and physical and social mobility are produced, reproduced and contested around water. By focusing on the strategies …

Explicitly correlated Green's function methods for calculating electron binding energies
… suffer from slow asymptotic decay of basis set incompleteness error. An energy-dependent explicitly correlated (F12) formalism for Green's function is presented that achieves faster convergence to the basis set limit. The renormalized second-order Green's function method (NR2-F12) scales as …

THE LAW&ECONOMICS OF INCOMPLETE CONTRACTS: THREE ESSATS.
… while the traditional approach spoke about incompleteness of contracts, we think that this framework can be extended to all legal regulations, so to also include the incompleteness of the law itself. The thesis applies this conceptual framework to three different areas of the law: (i) …

The search for new axioms
… if it is to effect a significant reduction in incompleteness. In Chapter 3 I examine the standard method of justifying new axioms-reflection principles-and prove a result which shows that no reflection principle (known to be consistent via large cardinals) can overcome the minimal hurdle and …

Language in Ernst Bloch’s Speculative Materialism: A Reading of Anacoluthon
… I call its fundamental compositional structure: Incompleteness → Process → (possibility of an) Outfall, i.e. completion or arrival. In light of this, I argue that, placed within the horizon of Bloch’s materialism, incompleteness, process, and futural-directedness ought to be taken as cornerstones …

Desiree - a Refinement Calculus for Requirements Engineering
