On a Singular Nonlinear Dirichlet Problem with a Convection Term

SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 2000
The authors establish some results on existence, nonxistence, and regularity of a positive solution to the following Dirichlet problem \[ -\Delta u=\frac{1}{u^{\alpha}+ \lambda |\nabla u|^p+\sigma}, \quad x \in \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n, \] \(u|_{\partial \Omega}=0.

Meinongian Empty Singular Terms

Rivista di Filosofia Neo-Scolastica, 2022
As is well known, in On Denoting Russell charged Meinong with the accusation of erroneously taking any term grammatically sounding as a singular term as a term that refers to something. In this paper, I want to show that this accusation is wrong. Definitely, for Meinong many, possibly most, singular terms that most philosophers would consider to be ...

Singular terms and truth

Philosophical Studies, 1959
A DICTUM fundamental in the Quinian theory of singular terms is the following: 1 (1) No singular term which permits a true statement including it to be turned into a falsehood (via existential generalization with respect to that term) can be a substituend of a variable.

Truth and Singular Terms

Noûs, 1974
Non-denoting singular terms have been a prime stimulus, or irritant, to students of the use and formal representation of language. Only one other subject (modal logic) has provoked so many differences among logicians over which sentences should be counted valid.

Predication and Singular Terms

Noûs, 1977
Burge also presents a theory of truth and sketches how the usual Tarski biconditionals can be derived, and one of the important points of his paper is that the attempt to give a theory of truth places certain constraints on the logic of the object language.' In the process of advocating his theory, Burge makes a number of comparisons between it and my ...

Brandom on Singular Terms

Philosophical Studies, 1999
Soulevant la question de la fonction des termes singuliers dans le cadre de la distinction entre les approches referentialiste et inferentialiste de la philosophie du langage, l'A. examine la solution inferentielle proposee par R. Brandom dans son ouvrage intitule «Making it explicit» (1994), qui developpe une syntaxe et une semantique de la ...

The cosmological term, compensation and singularities

Soviet Physics Journal, 1974
The necessity for the cosmological term in the Einstein and other theories of gravitation is emphasized; in these theories a “compensation” interpretation of the gravitational field as a calibration field is of fundamental importance and it leads, in particular, to torsion and nonlinearities for spinor and other fields. In conjunction with these ideas,

Singular Problems With Quadratic Gradient Term

2008
We deal with a Boundary Value Problem for quasilinear elliptic equations with natural growth in the gradient, providing existence, uniqueness and boundary estimates. Problems of this kind arise for instance in the theory of non-Newtonian fluids as in Nachman-Callegari and heat conduction in electrically conducting materials as in Cohen-Keller.

UNIFIED SEMANTICS OF SINGULAR TERMS

The Philosophical Quarterly, 2007
Singular-term semantics has been intractable. Frege took the referents of singular terms to be their semantic values. On his account, vacuous terms lacked values. Russell separated the semantics of definite descriptions from the semantics of proper names, which caused truth-values to be composed in two different ways and still left vacuous names ...
