The method is fairly elementary and results in an infinite set of linear equations. In the case of Gleason's theorem the full set has to be solved using Fourier transformation, while for the Kochen-Specker theorem it can be reduced to a finite set.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-11-17T18:37:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "connection", "proof method", "full set", "gleasons theorem", "linear equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1411.4583M" } } }
