Ideally skeptical inheritance supports exactly those inferences true in every credulous extension of an inheritance hierarchy. We provide a formal definition of ideally skeptical inheritance. We show that two path-based approaches fail to capture ideally skeptical inheritance , and that there are inheritance hierarchies for which there are more always-true inferences than always-supported paths...

This article studies the directions of adaptation civil legislation Ukraine in field inheritance with EU law, as well institution Ukraine. The purpose this is to study and determine main conditions for adapting approximating Ukrainian regulating relation law European Union countries. methods used topic include: dialectical method, legal recognition comparative formal historical hermeneutical st...

The article explores the issue of inheritance under right representation legislation Ukraine. understanding category «inheritance by representation» established law in Civil Code Ukraine has been established. Definitions concept available legal literature and judicial practice analysed characteristic features have determined. Attention is focused on fact that should be considered precisely as a...

This paper examines over 900 why-questions gathered in a longitudinal study of an English-speaking child from 2 to 6 years of age. The child went through a protracted stage in which many why-questions lacked subject-aux inversion, in contrast to other wh-questions. While this asymmetry has been observed in the previous literature, several new observations also emerged. First, the child permitte...

Modeling, design and testing of the software underlying distributed robotic systems is a challenging task, especially when a large number of mobile robots and task coordination are involved. Model continuity, the ability to use the same model of a system throughout its design phases, provides an effective way to manage this development complexity and maintain consistency of the software. In thi...

Inheritance is the principle that deontic ‘ought’ closed under entailment. This paper about a tension arises in connection with Inheritance. More specifically, it two observations pull opposite directions. One of them raises questions validity Inheritance, while other appears to provide strong support for it. We argue existing approaches modals fail us an adequate resolution this tension. In re...

This is the seventeenth article in a regular series on object-oriented theory for nonspecialists. Using a second-order λ-calculus model, we have previously modelled the notion of inheritance as a short-hand mechanism for defining subclasses by extending superclass definitions. Initially, we considered the inheritance of type [1] and implementation [2] separately, but later combined both of thes...

The inheritance class hierarchy is an important characteristic of object orientation. Many aspects of inheritance mechanisms remain controversial. Among others, many questions about the necessity of multiple inheritance have been put forward. Another contribution is given to this question by our experimental study. Dvorak [1994] revealed the phenomenon of conceptual entropy in class hierarchies...

Inheritance is one of the key issues of object-orientation. The inheritance mechanism allows for the definition of a subclass which inherits the features of a specific superclass. This means that methods and attributes defined for the superclass, are also available for objects of the subclass. Existing methods for object-oriented modeling and design, abstract from the dynamic behavior of object...
