Two alternative solutions to the problem of computing the values of theoretical quantities and of testing theoretical hypotheses are Sneed's structuralist eliminationism and Glymour's bootstrapping, Sneed attempts to solve the problem by eliminating theoretical quantities by means of the so-called Ramsey-Sneed sentence that represents the global empirical claim of the given theory. Glymour proposes to solve the problem by deducing the values of the theoretical quantities from the hypothesis to be tested. In those cases where the theoretical quantities are not strongly Ramsey-eliminable, eliminationism does not succeed in computing the values of theoretical quantities, and it is compelled to use bootstrapping in this task. On the other hand, we see that a general notion of bootstrapping provides a formally correct procedure for computing theoretical quantities, and thus contributes to the solution to the problem of testing theoretical hypotheses involving these quantities.

Nonautonomous Bifurcations in Nonlinear Impulsive Systems
Akhmet, Marat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-01)
In this paper, we study existence of the bounded solutions and asymptotic behavior of an impulsive Bernoulli equations. Nonautonomous pitchfork and transcritical bifurcation scenarios are investigated. An examples with numerical simulations are given to illustrate our results.
Pseudospin and Spin Symmetric Solutions of the Dirac Equation: Hellmann Potential, Wei-Hua Potential, Varshni Potential
Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2014-03-01)
Approximate analytical solutions of the Dirac equation are obtained for the Hellmann potential, the Wei-Hua potential, and the Varshni potential with any K-value for the cases having the Dirac equation pseudospin and spin symmetries. Closed forms of the energy eigenvalue equations and the spinor wave functions are obtained by using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method and some tables are given to see the dependence of the energy eigenvalues on different quantum number pairs (n, K).
Inference in multivariate linear regression models with elliptically distributed errors
İslam, Muhammed Qamarul; Yazici, Mehmet (2014-08-01)
In this study we investigate the problem of estimation and testing of hypotheses in multivariate linear regression models when the errors involved are assumed to be non-normally distributed. We consider the class of heavy-tailed distributions for this purpose. Although our method is applicable for any distribution in this class, we take the multivariate t-distribution for illustration. This distribution has applications in many fields of applied research such as Economics, Business, and Finance. For estimat...
Quantum decoherence and quantum state diffusion formalism
Dumlu, Cesim Kadri; Turgut, Sadi; Department of Physics (2007)
Foundational problems of quantum theory, regarding the appearance of classicality and the measurement problem are stated and their link to studies of open quantum systems is discussed. This study's main aim is to analyze the main approaches that are employed in the context of open quantum systems. The general form of Markovian master equations are derived by a constructive approach. The Quantum State Diffusion (QSD) formalism is stressed upon as an alternative method to the master equations. Using the Calde...
Quantum aspects of the noncommutative Sine-Gordon model
Kürkcüoğlu, Seçkin (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-09-01)
In this paper, we first use semi-classical methods to study quantum field theoretical aspects of the integrable noncommutative sine-Gordon model proposed in [hep-th/0406065]. In particular, we examine the fluctuations at quadratic order around the static kink solution using the background field method. We derive equations of motion for the fluctuations and argue that at O(θ2) the spectrum of fluctuations remains essentially the same as that of the corresponding commutative theory. We compute the one-loop tw...
