...Markus Schwaninger; José Pérez Rios; Ralf‐Eckhard Türke Purpose The paper aims to investigate the link between models and system results. It looks at fundamental principles underlying social activities and strives to understand the logical role of models in social governing. Based...

... of paraconsistent logics, where some contradiction is admissible. The purpose of this paper is to show that a Smarandache's definition of neutrosophic paraconsistent topology is not a generalization of Çoker's intuitionistic fuzzy topology (IFT) or Smarandache's general neutrosophic topology. Design/methodology...

Difficulties may have occurred from acceptation of discrete logic as fundamental despite the recognized role of Pó1ya's “plausible reasoning...

... of a reaction‐diffusion medium the logic of trajectories is built, where well‐formed formulas and their truth‐values are defined by co‐induction. These formulas are non‐well‐founded set‐theoretic objects. It is demonstrated that the logic of trajectories is a co‐algebra. Research limitations/implications...

... to handling interoperability. The use of first order predicate logic in many information systems may be justified through its completeness. However, the work of Gödel shows that such systems are undecidable if they rely on formal systems of number and/or sets. For interoperability dyadic higher order logic...

... Group Publishing Limited 2009 Logic Fuzzy logic Topology Set theory In various recent papers, Smarandache (1998, 2002, 2003, 2005a, b) generalizes intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) and other kinds of sets to neutrosophic sets (NSs). In Smarandache (2005a, b) , some distinctions...

Design/methodology/approach The use of non‐ordinary logic, in understanding and in solving seemingly bizarre, over‐the‐lines human behavior, with its three different components: logic of paradox, logic of contradiction and logic of belief.

..., including the critical impact of logic, the paralysing effect of dogmatic scholasticism and the explosive force of negation, the text demonstrate that the identity of substance can, depending on context, promote the adventure of knowledge or forestall it. Findings The reflection of context...
