"... Abstract In the last few years, preference logic and in particular, the dynamic logic of preference change, has suddenly become a live topic in my Amsterdam and Stanford environments. At the request of the editors, this article explains how this interest came about, and what is happening. I mainly ..."

, one can do 'logical dynamics' without committing to 'update semantics' -and vice versa. Stated differently, we are doing conceptual analysis and and rational (re-)construction in Carnap's sense, rather than analysis of 'the meaning' of preference or belief statements
RICE UNIVERSITY Regime Change: Sampling Rate vs. Bit-Depth in Compressive Sensing
, 2011
"... The compressive sensing (CS) framework aims to ease the burden on analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) by exploiting inherent structure in natural and man-made signals. It has been demon-strated that structured signals can be acquired with just a small number of linear measurements, on the order of t ..."

The representation theory of groups as nonsingular matrices over a field is of immense theoretical importance, but also basic for computational group theory, where the group ..."

of the thesis can be summarized as follows. • We prove that for all Coxeter graphs constructed from an n-path of unlabelled edges by adding a new labelled edge and a new vertex (sometimes two new edges and vertices), there is a permutational representation of the corresponding group. Group elements correspond

In this dissertation, we present two separate projects related to dark energy. The first project analyzes a class of braneworld models in which multiple brane ..."

To establish a secure basis for Internet communication, we propose SafeSlinger, a system leveraging the proliferation of smartphones to enable people to securely and privately exchange their public keys. Through the exchanged authentic public key, SafeSlinger establishes a secure channel

I am grateful to Luc Segoufin who kindly accepted me to be his PhD student. He introduced me to the problem of query enumeration and encouraged me to look for the answers to all the questions that emerged during our collaboration. He was a truly great advisor, always supportive and available for discussions and advice. I would like to thank Arnaud Durand and Patrice Ossona de Mendez for accepting to review this thesis and for their constructive comments on the earlier versions of this manuscript. Many thanks to Nicole Bidoit and Victor Vianu for accepting to be in my jury. Special thanks go to my Parents, who directed me to follow the scientific path and where fully supportive at all times. Thanks to all the members of LSV – it was a pleasure working with You. I would like to thank the awesome people whom I have been working with in the same office on the 4th floor. Without all the nice riddles and the magnificent French lessons my time there wouldn’t be as chouette as it was. Big thanks go to my son Boris, who was kind enough to sleep through the whole nights, allowing his dad to actually write the thesis down.

The principle aim of this dissertation is to investigate the philosophical application of quantum information theory to interpretational issues regarding the theory of quantum mechanics. Recently, quantum information theory has emerged as a potential source for such an interpretation. The main question with which this dissertation will be concerned is whether or not an information-theoretic interpretation can serve as a conceptually acceptable interpretation of quantum mechanics. It will be argued that some of the more obvious approaches – that quantum information theory shows us that ultimately the world is made of information, and quantum Bayesianism – fail as philosophical interpretations of quantum mechanics. However, the information-theoretic approach of Clifton, Bub, and Halvorson introduces Einstein’s distinction between principle theories and constructive theories, arguing that quantum mechanics is best understood as an information-theoretic principle theory. While I argue that this particular approach fails, it does offer a viable new philosophical role for information theory. Specifically, an investigation of interpretationally successful principle theories such as Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, and general
