Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Cal Elgot was a very serious and thoughtful researcher, who with great determi nation attempted to find basic explanations for certain mathematical phenomena as the selection of papers in this volume well illustrate. His approach was, for the most part, rather finitist and constructivist, and he was inevitably drawn to studies of the process of computation. It seems to me that his early work on decision problems relating automata and logic, starting with his thesis under Roger Lyndon and continuing with joint work with Biichi, Wright, Copi, Rutledge, Mezei, and then later with Rabin, set the stage for his attack on the theory of computation through the abstract treatment of the notion of a machine. This is also apparent in his joint work with A. Robinson reproduced here and in his joint papers with John Shepherdson. Of course in the light of subsequent work on decision problems by Biichi, Rabin, Shelah, and many, many others, the subject has been placed on a completely different plane from what it was when Elgot left the area. But I feel that his papers, results-and style-were very definitely influential at the time and may well have altered the course of the investigation of these problems. As Sammy Eilenberg explains, the next big influence on Elgot's thinking was category theory, which gave him a way of expressing his ideas in a sharply algebraic manner. The joint book with Eilenberg is one illustration of this influence. …

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. COPI, Irving and Calvin Elgot ,with Jesse B. Wright. "Realization of Events by Logical Nets", in Journal of the Association for Computing Machinery", April 1958, vol 5/2, pp 181-196 in the issue of pp 119-203. Original wrappers. If not for a pressure mark on the bottom right corner, this would be a FINE, clean, and crisp issue. [++] "In [his important and highly-referenced paper] Representation of Events in Nerve Nets and Finite Automata , S. C. Kleene obtains a number of interesting results. The most important of these, his analysis and synthesis theorems (theorems 5 and 3), are obscured both by the complexity of his basic concepts and by the nature of the elements used in his nets. In this paper we give a new formulation and new proofs of Kleene's analysis and synthesis theorems, in which we presuppose no acquaintance with Kleene's work. We use simpler basic concepts and construct our nets out of more familiar and convenient elements (see section 4). The simplified formulation and proofs should make these important results more widely accessible. "From the abstract for the Copi et al paper.…
