Böcker i Ontos Mathematical Logic-serien

On the occasion of the retirement of Wolfram Pohlers the Institut fur Mathematische Logik und Grundlagenforschung of the University of Munster organized a colloquium and a workshop which took place July 17-19, 2008. This volume collects papers by the speakers of the colloquium and workshop.

Over the last few decades the interest of logicians and mathematicians in constructive and computational aspects of their subjects has been steadily growing. This volume contains 20 articles from experts about developments in Constructive set theory, Provably recursive functions, Program extraction, Theories of truth, and Constructive mathematics.

Provides summary of the state of research on Church's Thesis. This book includes the following: different formulations of CT, CT and intuitionism, CT and intensional mathematics, CT and physics, the epistemic status of CT, CT and philosophy of mind, provability of CT and CT and functional programming.

Mathematical logic has developed in many directions, the initial unity of its subject matter giving way to a myriad of seemingly unrelated areas. This book features articles which range from historical scholarship to research in geometric model theory, squarely address this development.

Provides the reader with research arising from the Humboldt-Kolleg 'Proof' held in Bern in fall 2013, which gathered leading experts actively involved with the concept 'proof' in philosophy, mathematics and computer science. This volume presents relevant conceptions and technical advances featuring 'proof' in those fields.

Published in honor of Victor L Selivanov, this book collects 17 articles that inform on the developments in computability theory and its applications in computable analysis; descriptive set theory and topology; and the theory of omega-languages; as well as non-classical logics, such as temporal logic and paraconsistent logic.
