Rationality and Reversibility in Jean Piaget’s Theory of Reasoning

Logics
Rationality has long been considered the quintessence of humankind. However, psychological experiments revealing reliable divergences in performances on reasoning tasks from normative principles of reasoning have cast serious doubt on the venerable dogma

Foundations of Constructive Probability Theory [PDF]

, 2021
Using Bishop's work on constructive analysis as a framework, this monograph gives a systematic, detailed and general constructive theory of probability theory and stochastic processes. It is the first extended account of this theory: almost all of the constructive existence and continuity theorems that permeate the book are original.

Probabilistic and statistical methods for designing and analyzing limit states/Tikimybinis ir statistinis ribinų būvių projektavimo ir analizės metodai

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2001
Errors of partial reliability factor (PRF) method, being used in operating codes to provide required reliability of construction work (foundations, structures and their systems), are discussed.

Probabilistic Approach to Reliability-Based Optimum Structural Design

Engineering Transactions, 1984
In the paper foundations are given for the design of structures and structural optimization, based on the theory of probability. In this approach, loads, dimensions and material properties are considered as random values.

Computational complexity of time-dependent density functional theory

New Journal of Physics, 2014
Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is rapidly emerging as a premier method for solving dynamical many-body problems in physics and chemistry. The mathematical foundations of TDDFT are established through the formal existence of a fictitious

The Logic of Probability: A Trip through Uncertainty

Science & Philosophy, 2017
In real life we have to deal with uncertainty, imprecision and vagueness. Many ideas were introduced and studied in detail to manage with these problems. Now we briefly expose the main formal concepts which describe non-ideal situations, i.e. Probability,

Properties and applications of the Kirkwood–Dirac distribution

New Journal of Physics
There are several mathematical formulations of quantum mechanics. The Schrödinger picture expresses quantum states in terms of wavefunctions over, e.g. position or momentum.

Experimental Test of the “Special State” Theory of Quantum Measurement

Entropy, 2012
An experimental test of the “special state” theory of quantum measurement is proposed. It should be feasible with present-day laboratory equipment and involves a slightly elaborated Stern–Gerlach setup.

The use of the methodological base of the study to determine the conduction of low-frequency electromagnetic interference according to the coefficient of the n-th harmonic component of the voltage

Омский научный вестник
With the help of the methodological base of the study (the foundations of probability theory and mathematical statistics), the processing of the experiment conducted at the research object is carried out.
