Attractive and In-discrete

Minds and Machines, 2001
Summary: I argue that dynamicism does not provide a convincing alternative to currently available cognitive theories. First, I show that the attractor dynamics of dynamicist models are inadequate for accounting for high-level cognition. Second, I argue that dynamicist arguments for the rejection of computation and representation are unsound in light of

Dispositional Sources of Managerial Discretion: CEO Ideology, CEO Personality, and Firm Strategies

Administrative Science Quarterly, 2018
We investigate the dispositional sources of managerial discretion by theorizing that CEOs’ personality traits affect the extent to which their firms’ strategies reflect their preferences.

Discrete and Discretized Structures

2020
This chapter begins by identifying four possible states or situations: continuous systems (state 1) modeled in discrete form (state 2), and naturally discrete systems (state 3) modeled in continuous form (state 4). We refer to state 2 as a discretized state whereas state 4 is referred to as a homogenized state.

Discrete gradients in discrete classical mechanics

International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 1987
A simple model of discrete classical mechanics is given where, starting from the continuous Hamilton equations, discrete equations of motion are established together with a proper discrete gradient definition. The conservation laws of the total discrete momentum, angular momentum, and energy are demonstrated.

DISCRETE AND QUASI-DISCRETE MODULES

Communications in Algebra, 2002
ABSTRACT We show that discrete and quasi-discrete modules can be characterized in terms of the lifting of homomorphisms from to , for certain submodules of . We prove that is quasi-discrete iff is amply supplemented and satisfies for every positive integer and; is discrete iff is lifting and satisfies for every positive integer .

Discrete Geometry

Oberwolfach Reports, 2006
Discrete Geometry deals with the structure and complexity of discrete geometric objects ranging from finite point sets in the plane to more complex structures like arrangements of n -dimensional convex bodies.
