Mathematical and Physical Continuity
The Australasian Journal of Logic, 2008 There is general agreement in mathematics about what continuity is. In this paper we examine how well the mathematical definition lines up with common sense notions. We use a recent paper by Hud Hudson as a point of departure. Hudson argues that two objects moving continuously can coincide for all but the last moment of their histories and yet be ...

Indeterminism in physics and intuitionistic mathematics [PDF]
Synthese, 2021 AbstractMost physics theories are deterministic, with the notable exception of quantum mechanics which, however, comes plagued by the so-called measurement problem. This state of affairs might well be due to the inability of standard mathematics to “speak” of indeterminism, its inability to present us a worldview in which new information is created as ...

Experimental Mathematics and Mathematical Physics [PDF]
, 2009 One of the most effective techniques of experimental mathematics is to compute mathematical entities such as integrals, series or limits to high precision, then attempt to recognize the resulting numerical values. Recently these techniques have been applied with great success to problems in mathematical physics. Notable among these applications are the

A gradient-enhanced approach for stable finite element approximations of reaction-convection-diffusion problems [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied MechanicsWe develop a micromorphic-based approach for finite element stabilization of reaction-convection-diffusion equations, by gradient enhancement of the field of interest via introducing an auxiliary variable. The well-posedness of the coupled-field approach

Combinatorial Conversion and Moment Bisimulation for Stochastic Rewriting Systems [PDF]
Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2020 We develop a novel method to analyze the dynamics of stochastic rewriting systems evolving over finitary adhesive, extensive categories. Our formalism is based on the so-called rule algebra framework and exhibits an intimate relationship between the ...

Reciprocal Transformations in Relativistic Gasdynamics. Lie Group Connections [PDF]
Open Communications in Nonlinear Mathematical Physics, 2021 Reciprocal transformations associated with admitted conservation laws were originally used to derive invariance properties in non-relativistic gasdynamics and applied to obtain reduction to tractable canonical forms.

Understanding student use of differentials in physics integration problems
Physical Review Special Topics. Physics Education Research, 2013 This study focuses on students’ use of the mathematical concept of differentials in physics problem solving. For instance, in electrostatics, students need to set up an integral to find the electric field due to a charged bar, an activity that involves ...
