Analog and digital, continuous and discrete

Analog and Digital, Continuous and Discrete

Representation is central to contemporary theorizing about the mind/brain. But the nature of representation—both in the mind/brain and more generally—is a source of ongoing controversy. One way of categorizing representational types is to distinguish between the analog and the digital: the received view is that analog representations vary smoothly, while digital representations vary in a step-w...

existence and approximate $l^{p}$ and continuous solution of nonlinear integral equations of the hammerstein and volterra types

بسیاری از پدیده ها در جهان ما اساساً غیرخطی هستند، و توسط معادلات غیرخطی ‎‏بیان شد‎‎‏ه اند. از آنجا که ظهور کامپیوترهای رقمی با عملکرد بالا، حل مسایل خطی را آسان تر می کند. با این حال، به طور کلی به دست آوردن جوابهای دقیق از مسایل غیرخطی دشوار است. روش عددی، به طور کلی محاسبه پیچیده مسایل غیرخطی را اداره می کند. با این حال، دادن نقاط به یک منحنی و به دست آوردن منحنی کامل که اغلب پرهزینه و ...

DISCRETE SIZE AND DISCRETE-CONTINUOUS CONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION METHODS FOR TRUSS STRUCTURES USING THE HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM

Many methods have been developed for structural size and configuration optimization in which cross-sectional areas are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes two efficient structural optimization methods based on the harmony search (HS) heuristic algorithm that treat both discret...

Storytelling: Analog and Digital

The evolving intersection of the Internet, new media, and social networking has been accompanied by an evolution in storytelling practices. Examples of these evolving story-telling practices include community-oriented projects from around the globe, such as Capture Wales (UK), Sharing Stories (Australia), Finding a Voice (Southeast Asia), Men as Partners (South Africa), One Million Life Stories...
