Degree Of Confirmation

The question of what constitutes fairness in betting quotients has been studied by Ramsey, deFinetti, and Shimony. Thanks to their combined efforts we now have a satisfactory definition of fairness.On the other hand, the explication of the concept of degree of confirmation (inductive probability) has progressed rapidly in recent years, thanks primarily to Carnap. This explication has usually proceeded by laying down the axioms for frequency-probabilities, and elaborating on these. While in the case where a frequency interpretation is intended these axioms are clearly justified, in our case they have been laid down without any justification. Carnap's presentation has been criticized for just this reason.The purpose of this paper is to show that the probability axioms are necessary and sufficient conditions to assure that the degrees of confirmation form a set of fair betting quotients. In addition it will be shown that one additional, highly controversial, axiom is precisely the condition needed to assure that not only deFinetti's weaker criterion but Shimony's criterion of fairness is also satisfied.

This article is devoted to studying maximal π spaces where π = Lindelöf, countably compact, connected, lightly compact or pseudocompact. Necessary and sufficient conditions for Lindelöf or countably compact spaces to be maximal Lindelöf or maximal countably compact have been obtained. On the other hand only necessary conditions for maximal π spaces have been deduced where π = connected, lightly compact or pseudocompact.

Periodic Entire Function

For two entire functions f(z) and g(z) the composition f(g(z)) may or may not be periodic even though g(z) is not periodic. For example, when f(u) = cos √u and g(z) = z2, or f(u) = eu and g(z) = p(z) + z, where p(z) is a periodic function of period 2πi, f(g(z)) will be periodic. On the other hand, for any polynomial Q(u) and any non-periodic entire function f(z) the composition Q(f(z)) is never periodic (2).The general problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for f(g(z)) to be periodic is a difficult one and we have not succeeded in solving it. However, we have found some interesting related results, which we present in this paper.

The centre of mass G of a triangle has the property that the rays to the vertices from G sweep out triangles having equal areas. We show that such points, termed equipartitioning points in this paper, need not exist in other polygons. A necessary and sufficient condition for a quadrilateral to have an equipartitioning point is that one of its diagonals bisects the other. The general theorem, namely, necessary and sufficient conditions for equipartitioning points for arbitrary polygons to exist, is also stated and proved. When this happens, they are in general, distinct from the centre of mass. In parallelograms, and only in them, do the two points coincide.

Relative Invariants

AbstractIn this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a homogeneous cone Ω to be symmetric in two ways. One is by using the multiplier matrix of Ω, and the other is in terms of the basic relative invariants of Ω. In the latter approach, we need to show that the real parts of certain meromorphic rational functions obtained by the basic relative invariants are always positive on the tube domains over Ω. This is a generalization of a result of Ishi and Nomura [Math. Z. 259 (2008), 604–674].

AbstractWe discuss the distribution properties of hybrid sequences whose components stem from Niederreiter–Halton sequences on the one hand, and Kronecker sequences on the other. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions on the uniform distribution of such sequences, and derive a result regarding their discrepancy. We conclude with a short summary and a discussion of topics for future research.

We study the necessary and sufficient conditions on the masses for the periodic solution of planar 4-body problems, where three particles locate at the vertices of an equilateral triangle and rotate with constant angular velocity about a resting particle. We prove that the above periodic motion is a solution of Newtonian 4-body problems if and only if the resting particle is at the origin and the masses of the other three particles are equal and their angular velocity satisfies a special condition.

Strategic Litigation

This article conceptualises the term “strategic litigation” in order to provide for a definition of it. Strategic litigation is a tool increasingly used in Europe by individuals and organisations to attain different objectives. Next to that, there is increasing academic attention for the topic. Nevertheless, the exact definition of “strategic litigation” remains unclear. Therefore, this article uses the research method of conceptualisation as well as a database research and additional literature to provide for a definition. It looks firstly at the background concept, involving the range of meanings associated with the term “strategic litigation”, after which a systematised concept is formed. Thereby, use is made of the “necessary and sufficient conditions” (NSC) approach, to develop the conditions necessary and/or sufficient for a case to fit within the category of strategic litigation. Moreover, the external conceptual relations of the term are explored.

Metric Tensors

We consider smooth binary operations invariant with respect to unitary transformations that generalize the operations of the Beltrami–Klein and Beltrami–Poincare ball models of hyperbolic geometry, known as Einstein addition and Möbius addition. It is shown that all such operations may be recovered from associated metric tensors that have a canonical form. Necessary and sufficient conditions for canonical metric tensors to generate binary operations are found. A definition of algebraic isomorphism of binary operations is given. Necessary and sufficient conditions for binary operations to be isomorphic are provided. It is proved that every algebraic automorphism gives rise to isomorphism of corresponding gyrogroups. Necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of metric tensors for binary operations to be isomorphic to Euclidean addition are given. The problem of binary operations to be isomorphic to Einstein addition is also solved in terms of necessary and sufficient conditions. We also obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for binary operations having the same function-parameter in the canonical representation of metric tensors to be isomorphic.

Open Extension

In this note our principal interest is in using nets to give spaces of non-absolutely convergent integrals as extensions of the spaces of absolutely convergent Riemann and Lebesgue integrals. For this purpose we develop a general theory of extensions, by nets, of functions defined on the open intervals with closures in the complement of a fixed closed set, the nets being directed by inclusion for finite disjoint collections of such intervals. Two cases are considered leading to open extension (OE-) and conditional open extension (COE-) nets, the latter being subnets of the former. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of the OE- and COE-nets are given, those for the COE-nets being similar to conditions that arise in the definition of the restricted Denjoy integral. Properties of inner continuity, weak additivity and the existence of a continuous integral are defined and studied. These relate to the more specialized nets that are suitable for the extension of integrals.
