The defective conditional in mathematics

نویسنده

  • Mathieu Vidal
چکیده

In this article, I focus on defective conditionals, namely indicative conditionals whose antecedent is false and whose truth-value therefore cannot be determined. The problem is to decide which formal connective can adequately represent this usage. Classical logic renders defective conditionals true whereas traditional mathematics dismisses them as irrelevant. This difference in treatment entails that, at the propositional level, classical logic validates some sentences that are intuitively false in plane geometry. With two proofs, I show that the same flaw is shared by a family of trivalent logics. I go on to examine the strict conditional and its derivatives. This family is the only one to avoid the faulty inference but it does so without addressing the status of the truth-value assigned to defective conditionals.

Integration formulas for the conditional transform involving the first variation

In this paper, we show that the conditional transform with respect to the Gaussian process involving the first variation can be expressed in terms of the conditional transform without the first variation. We then use this result to obtain various integration formulas involving the conditional $diamond$-product and the first variation.

An Economic Production Quantity Model for Defective Items with Sales Return Service, Scrap Items and Rework

In this model, we establish an inventory model to determine the optimal inventory replenishment scheme for the economic production quantity (EPQ) model for imperfect, deteriorating items with sales return service under multiple production and rework setup. In one cycle, production process can produces the products in m production setups and reworks the defective items in one rework setup. The c...

An EMQ inventory model for defective products involving rework and sales team’s initiatives-dependent demand

This paper investigates the issue of an economic manufacturing quantity model for defective products involving imperfect production processes and rework. We consider that the demand is sensitive to promotional efforts/sales teams’ initiatives as well as the setup cost can be reduced through further investment. It also assumes that fixed quantity multiple installments of the finished batch are d...

Three steps method for portfolio optimization by using Conditional Value at Risk measure

Comprehensive methods must be used for portfolio optimization. For this purpose, financial data of stock companies, inputs and outputs variable, the risk measure and investor’s preferences must be considered. By considering these items, we propose a method for portfolio optimization. In this paper, we used financial data of companies for screening the stock companies. We used Conditional Value ...
