Generic methods for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs, e.g., Runge-Kutta) can break the symmetries that a particular equation might have. Lie theory can be used to get Geometric Integrators that respect these symmetries. Extending thesemethods to Euler and Navier-Stokes is an outstanding research problem in fluid mechanics. Therefore, a short review of geometric integrators for ODEs is given in this last chapter. Exponential coordinates on a Lie group are explained; the formula for differentiating a matrix exponential is given and used to derive the first few terms of the Magnus ex

Abstract:

This monograph addresses the need to clarify basic mathematical concepts at the crossroad between gravitation and quantum physics. Selected mathematical and theoretical topics are exposed within a not-too-short, integrated approach that exploits standard and non-standard notions in natural geometric language. The role of structure groups can be regarded as secondary even in the treatment of the gauge fields themselves. Two-spinors yield a partly original ‘minimal geometric data’ approach to Einstein-Cartan-Maxwell-Dirac fields. The gravitational field is jointly represented by a spinor connect

"This text describes both geometric and mathematical methods for the construction of 17 types of symmetries of planar periodic structures. Such symmetries are characteristic, for example, for printing on wallpaper, but they are also applied in crystals in which the atoms are regularly - periodically arranged in parallel planes. In terms of the symmetry arrangement of the atoms in crystals there are up to 230 types of symmetry. Their exact derivation is very demanding in scope and content, and so the exact procedure is better documented on two-dimensional periodic structures, where there are on

Abstract:

This chapter carries out a systematic investigation of the class of geometric theories of presheaf type (i.e. classified by a presheaf topos), by using in particular the results on flat functors established in Chapter 5. First, it establishes a number of general results on theories of presheaf type, notably including a definability theorem and a characterization of the finitely presentable models of such a theory in terms of formulas satisfying a key property of irreducibility. Then it presents a fully constructive characterization theorem providing necessary and sufficient conditions for a th

Full text

Abstract:

One model for long-term evolution is an adaptive walk, a series of fixations of mutations that moves the trait mean toward some optimal value. The foundation for this idea traces back to Fisher's geometric model, which showed that mutations of large effect are favored when a trait is far from its optimal, while smaller effects are favored as it approaches the optimal value. Under fairly general conditions, this results in a roughly exponential distribution of fixed adaptive effects. An alternative to trait-based walks are walks in fitness space, motivated by considering a series of mutations t

Abstract:

Most visual illusions involve distorted or altered perception of objects or events or misinterpretation of image information. The discrepancy between what we experience and what is physically present in the world or in the retinal image can be large, surprising, and dramatic. It is much rarer to see things that simply are not there at all. Repetitive stimuli, such as grating patterns or flickering lights, can induce perception of a range of illusory geometric patterns, forms, and movements—during or after exposure to the inducing stimulus. This chapter describes one such illusory phenomenon—th

This article focuses the theory of Malthus and the arguments of his Essay on the Principle of Population. This famous essay colored the thinking and actions of nineteenth-century householders and policy-makers. Vulgar Malthusian ideology missed the mark through an over-simplification of complex human behaviour, but general practice embodied his norms from 1760 to 1884. Even as the accuracy of the Malthusian model waned in terms of his description of marriage and reproduction at the end of the 1800s, its hold on the popular imagination persisted. Malthus bewitched the people with a picture. In

Principal among these were a science of magnitude (geometry) and a science of multitude (arithmetic). Traditionally, this division of mathematics was augmented by an ordering of the two parts in t

The role of recursion in language is universal and unique. It is universal because the (Specifier)-Head-Complement(s) geometry is the type of structuring that all phrases and all languages unequivocally adhere to, and complexes of such phrases constitute a general recursive structure. It is unique because the asymmetric nature of [(Specifier)-[Head-Complement(s)]] structures is unattested in other domains of human cognition or in the cognition of other animal species. The common claim that not all languages manifest recursive structures is usually couched in terms of self-embedded sentences, a

The seventeenth century witnesses the demise of two core doctrines in the theory of perception: naïve realism about color, sound, and other sensible qualities and the empirical theory, drawn from Alhacen and Roger Bacon, that underwrote it.

If sensible qualities are not part of the mind-independent world, just what are they, and what role, if any,
