This documents lists only papers and letters published in independent publications, plus "serious" unpublished academic work. This list does not include (a) withdrawn patents, (b) a variety of informal articles and ideas which are listed here.
Copyright permitting, some of the more recent of these papers will appear on this site in full, others may appear as abstracts only. If you wish a copy of any of these, please email me and I will post a paper copy. Many of these papers are already published on the website, but hyperlinks to them in this document have not yet been created.
Not counting papers still in preparation, there are 80 distinct pieces of work (not counting letters etc., with many duplicates due to technical reports and conference papers being re-published as journal papers, so 92 are listed here). 49 of these have been published in refereed volumes.
