Carles Noguera, Ph.D.
Classical mathematical logic, built on the conceptually simple core of propositional Boolean calculus, plays a crucial role in modern computer science. A critical limit to its applicability is the…

First-order many-valued logics

-
Carles Noguera, Ph.D.
Many-valued logics are a prominent family of non-classical logics whose intended semantics uses more than the two classical truth-values, truth/false. The study of these logics is stimulated by…

Medaile Bernarda Bolzana udělena Jiřímu Outratovi

Čestnou oborovou medaili Bernarda Bolzana převzal 24. září 2007 doc. Jiří V. Outrata. Nejlepších výsledků dosáhl v oblasti, která se dnes nejčastěji označuje pojmem moderní variační analýza. Obsahuje moderní výsledky dosažené při studiu složitých úloh, jež se vyskytují při řešení praktických problémů: optimalizačních úloh, variačních nerovností a ekvilibrií, které se týkají především nehladkých funkcí a mnohoznačných zobrazení.
