This chapter attempts to give a brief overview of nonclassical (-logic) theories of truth. Due to space limitations, we follow a victory-through-sacrifice policy: sacrifice details in exchange for clarity of big-picture ideas. This policy results in our giving all-too-brief treatment to certain topics that have dominated discussion in the non-classical-logic area of truth studies. (This is part...

1 he leading asymptotics for the growth of the number of eigenvalues of the two-dimensional Dirichlet Laplacian in the regions {(x, y)l 1x1 " / yl < 11 and for 4 + lxlD I yj4 all of which are non-Weyl because of infinite phase space volumes are computed. Along the way, a general inequality on quantum partition functions coriputed in a kind of Born-Oppenheimer approximation is proved.

This paper deals with violent discontinuities in shallow water flows with large Froude number F . On a horizontal base, the paradigm problem is that of the impact of two fluid layers in situations where the flow can be modelled as two smooth regions joined by a singularity in the flow field. Within the framework of shallow water theory we show that, over a certain timescale, this discontinuity ...
