  3. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    Regular expressions originated in 1951, when mathematician Stephen Cole Kleene described regular languages using his mathematical notation called regular events. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] These arose in theoretical computer science , in the subfields of automata theory (models of computation) and the description and classification of formal languages ...

    In mathematics and theoretical computer science, a Kleene algebra (/ ˈ k l eɪ n i / KLAY-nee; named after Stephen Cole Kleene) is a semiring that generalizes the theory of regular expressions: it consists of a set supporting union (addition), concatenation (multiplication), and Kleene star operations subject to certain algebraic laws.

  9. Skolem's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skolem's_paradox

    Stephen Cole Kleene described the result as "not a paradox in the sense of outright contradiction, but rather a kind of anomaly". [33] After surveying Skolem's argument that the result is not contradictory, Kleene concluded: "there is no absolute notion of countability". [33] Geoffrey Hunter described the contradiction as "hardly even a paradox ...
