The concept of complexity in organisations and information systems
Alexander BacklundThe definition of complexity is discussed, both in general and, mostly, in relation to organisations and information systems. Considering the subjective nature of complexity…
Simulation versus optimization in knowledge‐induced fields
Masudul Alam Choudhury, Gabor KorvinPervasive complementarity among agents, variables and their relations is a strong manifestation of unity in the real world. It is explained in various ways within scientific…
New numerical study of Adomian method applied to a diffusion model
N. Ngarhasta, B. Some, K. Abbaoui, Y. CherruaultWe prove in this paper the convergence of Adomian method applied to linear or non‐linear diffusion equations. The results show that the convergence of this method is not…
Robust controller design based on model reference approach
Manuel A. Duarte‐Mermoud, Ignacio Chang J.This paper presents a method for designing a fixed controller, which is able to control in a stable fashion a family of linear time‐invariant n‐th order plants with arbitrary…
Prototyped genetic search: a cybernetical approach to job‐shop scheduling problems
Amar KhoukhiIn the context of systems and cybernetics theory, we present a new general stochastic method of search and optimization of solutions of problems that we have named Prototyped…
Use of mathematical morphology in real‐time path planning
F.A. Pujol, J.M. García Chamizo, A. Fuster, M. Pujol, R. RizoIf an autonomous vehicle is working in an image‐based system which needs real‐time answers and whose response is critical, it will be very important to reduce computation times…
A new method for calculating multiple integrals
Yves Cherruault, Gaspar Mora, Yves TourbierGives a new method for defining and calculating multiple integrals. More precisely proposes that it is possible to define a multiple integral by means of a simple integral. This…
Abstract neural automata: variability of structure, thought and Riemannian volume
Xi GuangchengBelieves that in the view of philosophy, a concept is the highest form of activity of human brain. This paper demonstrates Abstract Neural Automata and a more perfect brain's…
Faith, physics and biology
Alex M. AndrewIssue is taken with views about religion and morality in a paper by the late Pesi Masani. Reference is made to a general principle that he defends, to the effect that mathematical…
