Rule Out

This chapter considers Plantinga’s argument from numbers for the existence of God. Plantinga sees divine psychologism as having advantages over both human psychologism and Platonism. The chapter begins with Plantinga’s description of the argument, including the relation of numbers to any divine attribute. It then argues that human psychologism can be ruled out completely. However, what rules it out might rule out divine psychologism too. It also argues that the main problem with Platonism might also be a problem with divine psychologism. However, it will, at the least, be less of a problem. In any case, there are alternative, possibly viable views about the nature of numbers that have not been touched by Plantinga’s argument. In addition, the chapter touches on the argument from properties, and its relation to the argument from numbers.

Cardinal Numbers

How are the natural numbers individuated? That is, what is our most basic way of singling out a natural number for reference in language or in thought? According to Frege and many of his followers, the natural numbers are cardinal numbers, individuated by the cardinalities of the collections that they number. Another answer regards the natural numbers as ordinal numbers, individuated by their positions in the natural number sequence. Some reasons to favor the second answer are presented. This answer is therefore developed in more detail, involving a form of abstraction on numerals. Based on this answer, a justification for the axioms of Dedekind–Peano arithmetic is developed.

Abstract Dedicated to the memory of Alexander Ivanovich Pavlov. We consider the set of n-permutations with cycle lengths belonging to some fixed set A of natural numbers (so-called A-permutations). Let random permutation τ n be uniformly distributed on this set. For some class of sets A we find the asymptotics with remainder term for moments of total cycle number of τ n .

In 1990, Diamond [16] primarily established the base of fuzzy star–shaped sets, an extension of fuzzy sets and numerous of its properties. In this paper, we aim to generalize the convergence induced by an ideal defined on natural numbers ℕ , introduce new sequence spaces of fuzzy star–shaped numbers in ℝ n and examine various algebraic and topological properties of the new corresponding spaces as well. In support of our results, we provide several examples of these new resulting sequences.

AbstractA simple graph $$G=(V,E)$$ G = ( V , E ) is said to be k-Zumkeller graph if there is an injective function f from the vertices of G to the natural numbers N such that when each edge $$xy\in E$$ x y ∈ E is assigned the label f(x)f(y), the resulting edge labels are k distinct Zumkeller numbers. In this paper, we show that the super subdivision of path, cycle, comb, ladder, crown, circular ladder, planar grid and prism are k-Zumkeller graphs.

The aim of propositional algorithmic logic is to investigate the properties of program connectives. Complete axiomatic systems for deterministic as well as for nondeterministic interpretations of program variables are presented. They constitute basic sets of tools useful in the practice of proving the properties of program schemes. Propositional theories of data structures, e.g. the arithmetic of natural numbers and stacks, are constructed. This shows that in many aspects PAL is close to first-order algorithmic logic. Tautologies of PAL become tautologies of algorithmic logic after replacing program variables by programs and propositional variables by formulas. Another corollary to the completeness theorem asserts that it is possible to eliminate nondeterministic program variables and replace them by schemes with deterministic atoms.

Hardy Littlewood Method

We establish that almost all natural numbers not congruent to 5 modulo 9 are the sum of three cubes and a sixth power of natural numbers, and show, moreover, that the number of such representations is almost always of the expected order of magnitude. As a corollary, the number of representations of a large integer as the sum of six cubes and two sixth powers has the expected order of magnitude. Our results depend on a certain seventh moment of cubic Weyl sums restricted to minor arcs, the latest developments in the theory of exponential sums over smooth numbers, and recent technology for controlling the major arcs in the Hardy-Littlewood method, together with the use of a novel quasi-smooth set of integers.
