Some Lesson About The Law From Self-Referential Problems In Mathematics, John M. Rogers, Robert E. Molzon Mar 1992

Some Lesson About The Law From Self-Referential Problems In Mathematics, John M. Rogers, Robert E. Molzon

Michigan Law Review

We first describe briefly mathematician Kurt Gödel's brilliant Incompleteness Theorem of 1931, and explore some of its general implications. We then attempt to draw a parallel between axiomatic systems of number theory (or of logic in general) and systems of law, and defend the analogy against anticipated objections. Finally, we reach two types of conclusions. First, failure to distinguish between language and metalanguage in mathematical self-referential problems leads to fallacies that are highly analogous to certain legal fallacies. Second, and perhaps more significantly, Gödel's theorem strongly suggests that it is impossible to create a legal system that is "complete" in …


Some Aspects Of Multi Source Satellite Image Processing., L. Lalitha Dr. Feb 1992

Some Aspects Of Multi Source Satellite Image Processing., L. Lalitha Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The observation of a target by a device plaoed at some distance from it is cal.led remote sensing as ngainst in situ sensing where the sensor is kept in contact with the target. Usually physical emanations such as the electr omagnetic radiation from the target s observed by the sensing device. Sensors mounted on aircraft or satallite platforms measure the amount of energy reflected from or emitted by the earth's surface. Sensors scan the ground below a nd to either side of the satellite platform and as the platform noves forward, an image of the earths surface is formed.A satellite …


Contributions To The Neyman-Scott And Mixture Problem., Joydeep Bhanja Dr. Feb 1992

Contributions To The Neyman-Scott And Mixture Problem., Joydeep Bhanja Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Neyman and Scott (1948) were the first to point out that the method of maximum likelihood fails to provide elfficient estimates when the number of parameters grows with the sample size n. Consider the following examples introduced by them:Ezample 1.1 Let { Xi } be a sequence of independent random vectors in I", components Xij of Xi being independent normal with mean u, and variance o2 Ilere o2 is the parameter of interest. It is casy to sce that the maxinum likelihood estimate for o2 is not even consistent. It is also known (see Lindsay (1980), Pfanzagl (1982), van der …


The Mazur Intersection Property In Banach Spaces And Related Topics., Pradipta Bandyopadhyaya Dr. Feb 1992

The Mazur Intersection Property In Banach Spaces And Related Topics., Pradipta Bandyopadhyaya Dr.

Doctoral Theses

In the first part of this chapter we explain in general terms the main theme of this thesis and provide a chapter wise summary of its principal results. The second part recapitulates some of the known notions and results used in the subsequent chapters. The numbers given in parentheses correspond to those in the list of references on page 70.S. Mazur (40] was the first to consider the following smoothness property in normed linear spaces, called the Mazur Intersection Property (MIP), or, more briefly, the Property (1):Every closed bounded convex set is the intersection of closed balls containing it.He showed …
