Model structure adequacy analysis: selecting models on the basis of their ability to answer scientific questions
Models carry the meaning of science. This puts a tremendous burden on the process of model selection. In general practice, models are selected on the basis of their relative goodne...

Implicit complexity over an arbitrary structure: Quantifier alternations
We provide machine-independent characterizations of some complexity classes, over an arbitrary structure, in the model of computation proposed by L. Blum, M. Shub and S. Smale. We...
