Synchronizing Diachronic Uncertainty

Efficient Algorithms for Synchronizing Localization Sensors under Interval Uncertainty∗

In this paper, we show that a practical need for synchronization of localization sensors leads to an interval-uncertainty problem. In principle, this problem can be solved by using the general linear programming algorithms, but this would take a long time – and this time is not easy to decrease, e.g., by parallelization since linear programming is known to be provably hard to parallelize. To so...

Optimality and diachronic adaptation

In this programmatic paper, I argue that the universal constraints of Optimality Theory (OT) need to be complemented by a theory of diachronic adaptation. OT constraints are traditionally stipulated as part of Universal Grammar, but this misses the generalization that the grammatical constraints normally correspond to constraints on language use. As in biology, observed adaptive patterns in lan...

Synchronizing Chaotic attractors of Chua's Canonical Circuit: the Case of Uncertainty in Chaos Synchronization

In this paper, we have studied the dynamics of two identical resistively coupled Chua’s canonical circuits and have found that it is strongly affected by initial conditions, coupling strength and the presence of coexisting attractors. Depending on the coupling variable, chaotic synchronization has been observed both numerically and experimentally. Anti-phase synchronization has also been studie...

Introduction to Synchronizing Automatic Synchronizing Considerations and Applications

Diachronic Description Logics

We provide motivation and a notation for representing in description logics certain \dynamic constraints" concerning changes of state. After providing a semantics for such descriptions using pairs of ordinary interpretations , we show that one can use existing DL inference engines to reason about such extended diachronic descriptions with no additional cost compared to the standard synchronic v...
