A Calculus of Pragmatic ObligationJudea

چکیده
We present a qualitative, decision-theoretic account for statements of the form: \You ought to do A, if C". We show that adding a qualitative causal theory (in the form of a graph) as part of an epistemic state is suucient to facilitate the analysis of action sequences, their consequences, their interaction with observations, their expected utilities and, hence, the assertability of conditional \ought" statements.

NON-POLYNOMIAL SPLINE FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF PROBLEMS IN CALCULUS OF VARIATIONS
A Class of new methods based on a septic non-polynomial spline function for the numerical solution of problems in calculus of variations is presented. The local truncation errors and the methods of order 2th, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th, are obtained. The inverse of some band matrixes are obtained which are required in proving the convergence analysis of the presented method. Convergence anal...
متن کاملDL Actions with GCIs: a Pragmatic Approach
We recently proposed action formalisms based on description logics (DLs) as decidable fragments of well-established action theories such as the Situation Calculus and the Fluent Calculus. One short-coming of our initial proposal is that the considered formalisms admit only acyclic TBoxes, but not GCIs. In this paper, we define DL action formalisms that admit GCIs, propose a pragmatic approach t...
متن کاملCertain subclass of $p$-valent meromorphic Bazilevi'{c} functions defined by fractional $q$-calculus operators
The aim of the present paper is to introduce and investigate a new subclass of Bazilevi'{c} functions in the punctured unit disk $mathcal{U}^*$ which have been described through using of the well-known fractional $q$-calculus operators, Hadamard product and a linear operator. In addition, we obtain some sufficient conditions for the func...
متن کاملOn certain fractional calculus operators involving generalized Mittag-Leffler function
The object of this paper is to establish certain generalized fractional integration and differentiation involving generalized Mittag-Leffler function defined by Salim and Faraj [25]. The considered generalized fractional calculus operators contain the Appell's function $F_3$ [2, p.224] as kernel and are introduced by Saigo and Maeda [23]. The Marichev-Saigo-Maeda fractional calculus operators a...
متن کاملThe Interface between Linguistic and Pragmatic Competence: The Case of Disagreement, Scolding, Requests, and Complaints
Second language learners often develop grammatical competence in the absence of concomitant pragmatic competence (Kasper & Roever, 2005) and the exact nature of the relationship between the two competences is still indistinct and in need of inquiries ( Bardovi-Harlig, 1999; Khatib & Ahmadisafa, 2011). This study is a partial attempt to address the lacuna and aims to see if any relationship ca...
