Specware: Formal Support for Composing Software

TL;DR: Specware supports the systematic construction of formal specifications and their stepwise refinement into programs and will enable the scaling to system-level software construction.

Ergodic Coactions with Large Multiplicity and Monoidal Equivalence of Quantum Groups

TL;DR: In this article, the authors construct new examples of ergodic coactions of compact quantum groups, in which the multiplicity of an irreducible core presentation can be strictly larger than the dimension of the latter.

Constructions of factorization systems in categories

TL;DR: In this article, the authors give an existence theorem for homotopy factorization systems in the context of homotopical algebra, which can be viewed as a generalization of Deleanu's existence theorem.

Point-set lattice-theoretic topology

TL;DR: A survey of point-set lattice-theoretic or poslat topologies is given in this paper, by which we mean (fuzzy) topologies grounded in notions of sets, functions, powersets, and powerset operators.
