    Sibelius in the Context of the Finnish-German History Veijo Murtomäki Introduction The life and career of a composer cannot be considered as an isolated case without taking into account the wider context. The history of ideas and ideologies is always part of any serious enquiry into an artist’s personal history. Therefore we must bear in mind at least four points when considering the actions of artist and his or her country. Firstly, as the eminent Finnish historian Matti Klinge has observed, "the biggest challenge for understanding history is trying to situate oneself in the preconditions of the time-period under scrutiny while remembering that it did not know what the posterity knows."[1] Writing history is not primarily a task whereby the historian provides lines for actors to speak, but rather is an attempt to understand and explain why something happened, and to construct a context including all of the possible factors involved in a certain historical process. Secondly, supporting (or not opposing) an ideology prevailing at a certain time does not mean that the supporter (or non-opponent) is committing a crime. We could easily condemn half of the European intellectuals for supporting Fascism, Nazism, Communism or Maoism, or just for having become too easily attracted by these – in their mind – fascinating, visionary ideologies to shape European or world history. Thirdly, history has always been written by the winners – and thus, historiography tends to be distorted by exaggerating the evil of the enemy and the goodness of the victor. A moral verdict must be reached when we are dealing with absolute evil, but it is rare to find exclusively good or bad persons or civilizations; therefore history is rarely an issue of black and white.

  • Separation of Test-Free Propositional Dynamic Logics Over Context-Free Languages
    Separation of Test-Free Propositional Dynamic Logics over Context-Free Languages Markus Latte∗ Department of Computer Science University of Munich, Germany For a class L of languages let PDL[L] be an extension of Propositional Dynamic Logic which allows programs to be in a language of L rather than just to be regular. If L contains a non-regular language, PDL[L] can express non-regular properties, in contrast to pure PDL. For regular, visibly pushdown and deterministic context-free languages, the separation of the respective PDLs can be proven by automata-theoretic techniques. However, these techniques introduce non-determinism on the automata side. As non-determinism is also the difference between DCFL and CFL, these techniques seem to be inappropriate to separate PDL[DCFL] from PDL[CFL]. Nevertheless, this separation is shown but for programs without test operators. 1 Introduction Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL)[9] is a logical formalism to specify and verify programs [12, 16, 11]. These tasks rely on the satisfiability and model-checking problems. Applications in the field are supported by their relatively low complexities: EXPTIME- and PTIME-complete, respectively [9]. Formulas in PDL are interpreted over labeled transition systems. For instance, the formula hpij means that after executing the program p the formula j shall hold. In this context, programs and formulas are defined mutually inductively. This mixture allows programs to test whether or not a formula holds at the current state. Additionally, programs are required to be regular over the set of atomic programs and test operations. For instance, the program while (b) do p; can be rendered as h(b?; p)∗;:bij to ensure that the loop is finite and that j holds when the loop terminates [9].

  • The EATCS Award 2020 Laudatio for Toniann (Toni)Pitassi
    The EATCS Award 2020 Laudatio for Toniann (Toni)Pitassi The EATCS Award 2021 is awarded to Toniann (Toni) Pitassi University of Toronto, as the recipient of the 2021 EATCS Award for her fun- damental and wide-ranging contributions to computational complexity, which in- cludes proving long-standing open problems, introducing new fundamental mod- els, developing novel techniques and establishing new connections between dif- ferent areas. Her work is very broad and has relevance in computational learning and optimisation, verification and SAT-solving, circuit complexity and communi- cation complexity, and their applications. The first notable contribution by Toni Pitassi was to develop lifting theorems: a way to transfer lower bounds from the (much simpler) decision tree model for any function f, to a lower bound, the much harder communication complexity model, for a simply related (2-party) function f’. This has completely transformed our state of knowledge regarding two fundamental computational models, query algorithms (decision trees) and communication complexity, as well as their rela- tionship and applicability to other areas of theoretical computer science. These powerful and flexible techniques resolved numerous open problems (e.g., the su- per quadratic gap between probabilistic and quantum communication complex- ity), many of which were central challenges for decades. Toni Pitassi has also had a remarkable impact in proof complexity. She in- troduced the fundamental algebraic Nullstellensatz and Ideal proof systems, and the geometric Stabbing Planes system. She gave the first nontrivial lower bounds on such long-standing problems as weak pigeon-hole principle and models like constant-depth Frege proof systems. She has developed new proof techniques for virtually all proof systems, and new SAT algorithms.

  • Formal Languages and Logics Lecture Notes
    Formal Languages and Logics Jacobs University Bremen Herbert Jaeger Course Number 320211 Lecture Notes Version from Oct 18, 2017 1 1. Introduction 1.1 What these lecture notes are and aren't This lecture covers material that is relatively simple, extremely useful, superbly described in a number of textbooks, and taught in almost precisely the same way in hundreds of university courses. It would not make much sense to re-invent the wheel and re-design this lecture to make it different from the standards. Thus I will follow closely the classical textbook of Hopcroft, Motwani, and Ullman for the first part (automata and formal languages) and, somewhat more freely, the book of Schoening in the second half (logics). Both books are available at the IRC. These books are not required reading; the lecture notes that I prepare are a fully self-sustained reference for the course. However, I would recommend to purchase a personal copy of these books all the same for additional and backup reading because these are highly standard reference books that a computer scientist is likely to need again later in her/his professional life, and they are more detailed than this lecture or these lecture notes. There are several sets of course slides and lecture notes available on the Web which are derived from the Hopcroft/Motwani/Ullman book. At http://www- db.stanford.edu/~ullman/ialc/win00/win00.html, you will find lecture notes prepared by Jeffrey Ullman himself. Given the highly standardized nature of the material and the availablity of so many good textbooks and online lecture notes, these lecture notes of mine do not claim originality.

QUASICONFORMAL MAPPINGS, FROM PTOLEMY'S GEOGRAPHY TO THE WORK OF TEICHMULLER¨ ATHANASE PAPADOPOULOS Les hommes passent, mais les œuvres restent. (Augustin Cauchy, [204] p. 274) Abstract. The origin of quasiconformal mappings, like that of confor- mal mappings, can be traced back to old cartography where the basic problem was the search for mappings from the sphere onto the plane with minimal deviation from conformality, subject to certain conditions which were made precise. In this paper, we survey the development of cartography, highlighting the main ideas that are related to quasicon- formality. Some of these ideas were completely ignored in the previous historical surveys on quasiconformal mappings. We then survey early quasiconformal theory in the works of Gr¨otzsch, Lavrentieff, Ahlfors and Teichm¨uller,which are the 20th-century founders of the theory.

A branch of research in the Science Studies focuses on analyzing the co-authorship networks of established scientists. Such studies tell us about how their collaborations developed through their careers. This paper updates previous work by reporting a transversal and a longitudinal studies spanning the lifelong careers of a cohort of researchers from the DBLP bibliographic database. We mined 3,860 researchers’ publication records to study the evolution patterns of their co-authorships. Two features of co-authors were considered: 1) their expertise, and 2) the history of their partnerships with the sampled researchers. Our findings reveal the ephemeral nature of most collaborations: 70% of the new co-authors were only one-shot partners since they did not appear to collaborate on any further publications.
