This article presents a probabilistic logic whose sentences can be interpreted as asserting the acceptability of gambles described in terms of an underlying logic. This probabilistic logic has a concrete syntax and a complete inference procedure, and it handles conditional as well as unconditional probabilities. It synthesizes Nilsson’s probabilistic logic and Frisch and Haddawy’s anytime infer...

In this paper we prove that the conjectures of Frisch and Parisi in 9] and Arneodo et al in 1] (called the multifractal formalism for functions) may fail for some non homogenous selfsimilar functions in m dimension, m 2. In these cases, we compute the correct spectrum of singularities and we show how the multifractal formalism must be modiied.

Keywords: Apis mellifera dance communication honeybee mechanosensory input tactile stimulus waggle dance The waggle dance of honeybees, Apis mellifera, is one of the most remarkable communication systems of the animal kingdom. In this study, we focused on a major gap in the understanding of this striking behaviour: the question of the sensory modality by which meaningful information is transfer...

The paper concerns the Frisch scheme for identii-cation of linear relations from static noisy data. The central problem is, for a given non-singular nn noisy, linearly independent data covariance matrix n , determine the maximal corank of n ? n , and associated maximizers ? n , over the set of diagonal uncorre-lated additive noise covariance matrices n such that n n , i.e. such that n ? ? n is ...

This paper follows up a debate as to whether classical electrodynamics is inconsistent. Mathias Frisch makes the claim in Inconsistency, Asymmetry and Non-Locality ([2005]), but this has been quickly countered by Fred Muller ([2007]) and Gordon Belot ([2007]). Here I argue that both Muller and Belot fail to connect with the background assumptions which support Frisch’s claim. Responding to Belo...
