چکیده
Reformulating a scientific theory often leads to significantly different way of understanding the world. Nevertheless, accounts both theoretical equivalence and have neglected this important aspect theorizing. This essay provides positive account how reformulation changes our understanding. My simultaneously addresses serious challenge facing existing These failed characterize in that goes beyond epistemology explanation. By focusing on cases which we differences without explanation, I show does not reduce

Solution Equivalent Subquadrangle Reformulations of Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Subquadrangles are a natural way in which to represent constraints as they do not restrict any subset of their scope. There are already known methods for converting any given constraint into a set of subquadrangles, but we require a method by which an entire constraint satisfaction problem instance can be converted as a whole. In this paper we present two methods by which we might decompose a g...
متن کاملEquivalent Primal and Dual Differentiable Reformulations of the Euclidean Multifacility Location Problem
As introduced earlier, the Euclidean Multifacility Location Problem (EMFLP) seeks to locate n new facilities at some points (xi, yi), i = 1, .., n in R 2 , in the presence of some m existing facilities located at specified points (aj, bj), j = 1, .., m, given certain interaction weights wij > 0 between designated pairs (i, j) of new and existing facilities in some indexpair set A NE , as well a...
متن کاملon the equivalence of constructed-response and multiple-choice : stem-equivalent, stem non-equivalent but content equivalent, and stem and content non-equivalent items in reading comprehension using multifaceted rasch
the present study investigated construct equivalence of multiple choice (mc) and constructed response (cr) item types across stem and content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘a’), non-stem-equivalent but content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘b’), and non-stem and non-content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘c’). one hundred seventy english-major undergraduates completed mc ...
Defining and Using Reformulations
useful in solving tractable problems; for example, the proof of tractability of 2SAT involved the reformulation of 2-SAT as a graph problem (Papadimitriou 1994). However, not enough is known about how and when to apply reformulation. The workshop organizers invited researchers to address the following questions: What is reformulation? How can it be defined formally? Is reformulation different f...
متن کاملApproximation Reformulations
Although computers are widely used to simulate complex physical systems, crafting the underlying models that enable computer analysis remains difficult. When a model is created for one task, it is often impossible to reuse the model for another purpose because each task requires a different set of simplifying assumptions. By representing modeling assumptions explicitly as approximation reformul...
