Mathematics of Philosophy or Philosophy of Mathematics?

This article examines recent attempts to gain insight into philosophical paradoxes through using NDS models employing iterated difference equations and resulting phase portraits and escape time diagrams. The temporal nature of such models is contrasted with an alternative approach based on the a-temporal and non-dynamical construct of a lattice. Finally, there is a discussion of how such strategies for understanding paradox transcend the realm of empirical research and enter territory in the philosophy of mathematics.     

孪生子佯谬

本文从一个新的角度来阐释孪生子佯谬的症结所在，详细分析了由于双胞胎兄弟所在参考系的不对称性导致的荒谬结论，并在两个惯性系下分别做了计算，最后的结论是相同的，并不存在矛盾，同时印证了所有的惯性系是平权的这一大前提!     

On Hardy?s paradox, weak measurements, and multitasking diagrams

We discuss Hardy?s paradox and weak measurements by using multitasking diagrams, which are introduced to illustrate the progress of quantum probabilities through the double interferometer system. We explain how Hardy?s paradox is avoided and elaborate on the outcome of weak measurements in this context.     

Quantum game interpretation for a special case of Parrondo’s paradox

By using the discrete Markov chain method, Parrondo’s paradox is studied by means of theoretical analysis and computer simulation, built on the case of game AB played in alternation with modulus M=4. We find that such a case does not have a definite stationary probability distribution and that payoffs of the game depend on the parity of the initial capital. Besides, this paper reveals the phenomenon that “processing in order produces non-deterministic results, while a random process produces deterministic results”. The quantum game method is used in a further study. The results show that the explanation of the game corresponding to a stationary probability distribution is that the probability of the initial capital has reached parity.     

顶端受集中力偶或表面受均匀载荷的圆柱型正交各向异性楔:佯谬的解决

对楔顶角为２α的圆柱型正交各向异性楔，其顶端受集中力偶的经典解当α满足ｔｇλα＝λα（λ＝（ａ６６＋２ａ１２＋２ａ１１）／ａ１１，ａ６６、ａ１２、ａ１１为弹性常数）时，应力成为无穷大；其表面受均匀载荷的经典解当α满足ｓｉｎλα＝０（对称变形）或ｔｇλα＝λα（反对称变形）时，也有同样问题。这二个佯谬均由文中利用叠加齐次解的方法解决     

Entanglement between nuclear spin and field mode in GaAs semiconductors

In this paper we investigate entanglement between the nuclear spin and field mode in a GaAs semiconductor. The eigenfuctions of nuclear spin in the quantized external field are obtained and thus the von Neumann entropy is evaluated explicitly. It is shown that the von Neumann entropy monotonously increases with the spin-field coupling constant but monotonously decreases with the anisotropy energy.

On Thermal Contact of Two Axially Symmetric Elastic Solids

A contact problem of two elastic convex and axially symmetric solids heated (or cooled) to temperatures of different values is considered. Pertinent formulae have been derived for relations between the contact pressure, geometrical characteristics of the solids and distributions of heat flux over the contacting region. We have analysed: 1. The problem of the loss of the contact between two solids pressed together with active heat fluxes. We discuss the cases for which the contact of the axially symmetric solids can take the form of a circle, or an annulus. 2. The problem of a paradox when the mathematically well posed contact problem of thermoelasticity leads to a physically unacceptable solution with a region of overlapping materials. Here we discuss a generalization of the cooled sphere paradox. The heat flux functions are continuously differentiable, of constant sign. The conditions have been derived for the cases when the paradox can be avoided.     

Formalization of the “Twin Paradox” for Non-uniformly Accelerated Motions

The use of hyperbolic numbers for studying space-time geometry and trigonometry is extended for demonstrating the Frenet’s formulas in space-time. By means of this introduction the twin paradox for non-uniformly accelerated motions is formalized in a straightforward way.
