Fuzzy Relational Maps And Neutrosophic Relational Maps, Florentin Smarandache, W.B. Vasantha Kandasamy

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

The aim of this book is two fold. At the outset the book gives most of the available literature about Fuzzy Relational Equations (FREs) and its properties for there is no book that solely caters to FREs and its applications. Though we have a comprehensive bibliography, we do not promise to give all the possible available literature about FRE and its applications. We have given only those papers which we could access and which interested us specially. We have taken those papers which in our opinion could be transformed for neutrosophic study. The second importance of this book is that …

Coalgebras And Modal Expansions Of Logics, Alexander Kurz, Alessandra Palmigiano

Engineering Faculty Articles and Research

In this paper we construct a setting in which the question of when a logic supports a classical modal expansion can be made precise. Given a fully selfextensional logic S, we find sufficient conditions under which the Vietoris endofunctor V on S-referential algebras can be defined and we propose to define the modal expansions of S as the logic that arises from the V-coalgebras. As an example, we also show how the Vietoris endofunctor on referential algebras extends the Vietoris endofunctor on Stone spaces. From another point of view, we examine when a category of ‘spaces’ (X,A), ie sets X …

Algebraic Semantics For Coalgebraic Logics, Clemens Kupke, Alexander Kurz, Dirk Pattinson

Engineering Faculty Articles and Research

With coalgebras usually being defined in terms of an endofunctor T on sets, this paper shows that modal logics for T-coalgebras can be naturally described as functors L on boolean algebras. Building on this idea, we study soundness, completeness and expressiveness of coalgebraic logics from the perspective of duality theory. That is, given a logic L for coalgebras of an endofunctor T, we construct an endofunctor L such that L-algebras provide a sound and complete (algebraic) semantics of the logic. We show that if L is dual to T, then soundness and completeness of the algebraic semantics immediately yield the …

On The Empirical Balanced Truncation For Nonlinear Systems, Marissa Condon, Rossen Ivanov

Articles

Novel constructions of empirical controllability and observability gramians for nonlinear systems for subsequent use in a balanced truncation style of model reduction are proposed. The new gramians are based on a generalisation of the fundamental solution for a Linear Time-Varying system. Relationships between the given gramians for nonlinear systems and the standard gramians for both Linear Time-Invariant and Linear Time-Varying systems are established as well as relationships to prior constructions proposed for empirical gramians. Application of the new gramians is illustrated through a sample test-system.

Statistical Mechanics Of Farey Fraction Spin Chain Models, Jan Fiala

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis considers several statistical models defined on the Farey fractions. Two of these models, considered first, may be regarded as "spin chains", with long-range interactions, another arises in the study of multifractals associated with chaotic maps exhibiting intermittency. We prove that these models all have the same free energy. Their thermodynamic behavior is determined by the spectrum of the transfer operator (Ruelle-Perron-F'robenius operator), which is defined using the maps (presentation functions) generating the Farey "tree". The spectrum of this operator was completely determined by Prellberg. It follows that all these models have a second-order phase transition with a specific …

Dynamic Adaptation To Cpu And Memory Load In Scientific Applications, Richard Tran Mills

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

As commodity computers and networking technologies have become faster and more affordable, fairly capable machines have become nearly ubiquitous while the effective "distance" between them has decreased as network connectivity and capacity has multiplied. There is considerable interest in developing means to readily access such vast amounts of computing power to solve scientific problems, but the complexity of these modern computing environments pose problems for conventional computer codes designed to run on a static, homogeneous set of resources. One source of problems is the heterogeneity that is naturally present in these settings. More problematic is the competition that arises between …

Moments Equalities For Nonnegative Integer-Valued Random Variables, Mohamed I. Riffi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We present and prove two theorems about equalities for the nth moment of nonnegative integer-valued random variables. These equalities generalize the well known equality for the first moment of a nonnegative integer-valued random variable X in terms of its cumulative distribution function, or in terms of its tail distribution.

On The Power Subgroups Of The Extended Modular Group \Gamma, Recep Şahi̇n, Sebahatti̇n İki̇kardeş, Özden Koruoğlu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we describe the group structure of power subgroups \Gamma^m of the extended modular group \Gamma and the quotients to them. Then we give some relations between the power subgroups \Gamma^m, the commutator subgroups \Gamma^{\prime} and \Gamma^{\prime \prime} and also the information of interest about free normal subgroups of the extended modular group \Gamma.

On Near-Rings With Two-Sided \Alpha-Derivations, Nurcan Argaç

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we introduce the notion of two-sided \alpha-derivation of a near-ring and give some generalizations of [1]. Let N be a near ring. An additive mapping f: N\rightarrow N is called an { \it (\alpha, \beta)-derivation } if there exist functions \alpha,\beta : N\rightarrow N such that f(xy)=f(x)\alpha(y)+\beta (x)f(y) for all x,y\in N. An additive mapping d:N\rightarrow N is called a two-sided \alpha-derivation if d is an (\alpha,1)-derivation as well as a (1,\alpha)-derivation. The purpose of this paper is to prove the following two assertions: (i) Let N be a semiprime near-ring, I be a subset of N …

Coisotropic Submanifolds Of A Semi-Riemannian Manifold, Erol Kiliç, Bayram Şahi̇n, H. B. Karadağ, R. Güneş

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study coisotropic submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian manifold. We investigate the integrability condition of the screen distribution and give a necessary and sufficient condition on Ricci tensor of a coisotropic submanifold to be symmetric. Finally, we present some new theorems and results about totally umbilical coisotropic submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian manifold

On Simultaneous Approximation By A Linear Combination Of A New Sequence Of Linear Positive Operators, P. N. Agrawal, Ali J. Mohammad

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In [1] we introduced a new sequence of linear positive operators M_{n} to approximate unbounded continuous functions of exponential growth on [0,\infty). As this sequence is saturated with O(n^{-1}), to accelerate the rate of convergence we applied the technique of linear combination introduced by May [3] and Rathore et al. [4] to these operators. The object of the present paper is to study the phenomena of simultaneous approximation (approximation of derivatives of functions by the corresponding order derivatives of operators) by the linear combination M_{n} ( . , k, x) of M_{n}. First, we establish a Voronovskaja-type asymptotic formula and …

On Local Hörmander-Beurling Spaces, Jairo Villegas

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we aim to extend a result of Hörmander's, that \mathcal{B}_{p,k}^{loc}(\Omega)\subset\mathcal{C}^m(\Omega) if \frac{(1+\left \cdot\right )^m}{k}\in L_{p^\prime}, to the setting of vector valued local Hörmander-Beurling spaces, as well as to show that the space \bigcap_{j=1}^\infty\mathcal{B}_{p_j,k_j}^{loc} (\Omega, E) (1\leq p_j\leq\infty, k_j=e^{j\omega}, j=1,2,\dots) is topologically isomorphic to \mathcal{E}_\omega(\Omega, E ). Moreover, it is well known that the union of Sobolev spaces \mathcal{H}_{s}^{loc}(\Omega) (=\mathcal{B}_{2,(1+ \cdot ^2)^{s/2}}^{loc}(\Omega)) coincides with the space \mathcal{D}^{\prime\,F}(\Omega) of finite order distributions on \Omega. We show that this is also verified in the context of vector valued Beurling ultradistributions.

A Note On Groups With All Subgroups Subnormal, Ahmet Arikan, Tahi̇re Özen

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We prove that if G is a periodic group with all subgroups subnormal, and if for every x, y \in G, ^{G} is an FC-group, then G is nilpotent.

Inspiring Students To Study And Learn Mathematics Using Technology, Ma. Louise Antonette N. De Las Peñas, Wei-Chi Yang

In this paper, we focus on the advantages of studying mathematics from analytical, graphical and geometric perspectives. Using Casio’s ClassPad 300 ([1]), we present activities on problems involving abstract concepts and real life applications. These activities viewed from the analytical, graphical, tabular and geometric points of view, promote creative ways to facilitate the learning of mathematics that inspire students with varying levels of ability. Consequently, students develop a profound appreciation and a deeper understanding of mathematics.

A Nonlinear Random Coefficients Model For Degradation Testing, Suk Joo Bae, Paul H. Kvam

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

As an alternative to traditional life testing, degradation tests can be effective in assessing product reliability when measurements of degradation leading to failure can be observed. This article presents a degradation model for highly reliable light displays, such as plasma display panels and vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs). Standard degradation models fail to capture the burn-in characteristics of VFDs, when emitted light actually increases up to a certain point in time before it decreases (or degrades) continuously. Random coefficients are used to model this phenomenon in a nonlinear way, which allows for a nonmonotonic degradation path. In many situations, the relative …

Tree-Like Continua And 2-To-1 Maps, Jo Heath, Van C. Nall

Department of Math & Statistics Faculty Publications

It is not known if there is a 2-to-1 map from a continuum onto a tree-like continuum. In fact, it is not known if there is a 2-to-1 map onto a hereditarily decomposable tree-like continuum. We show that the domain of such a map would have to contain an indecomposable continuum.

Applications Of Stochastic Calculus To Finance, Scott Stelljes

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Stochastic Calculus has been applied to the problem of pricing financial derivatives since 1973 when Black and Scholes published their famous paper "The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities" in the Joumal of Political Economy. The purpose of this thesis is to show the mathematical principles underlying the methods applied to finance and to present a new model of the stock price process.

As part of this paper, we present proofs of Ito's Formula and Girsanov's Theorem which are frequently used in financial applications. We demonstrate the application of these theorems to calculating the fair price of a European call …

Spontaneous Pulse Formation In Bistable Systems, George A. Andrews

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

This thesis considers localized spontaneous pulse formation in nonlinear, dissipative systems that are far from equilibrium and which exhibit bistability. It is shown that such pulses can form in systems that are dominated by the combined effects of: (1) a saturable amplifying or gain region, (2) a saturable absorbing or loss region, and (3) cavity effects. Analysis is based upon novel models for both an inertialess material in which the absorber responds instantaneously and inertial material in which there is temporal delay in the response. Additionally, we include the situation where the material does not fully relax between pulses, i.e. …

State-Based Reconstructability Analysis, Martin Zwick, Michael S. Johnson

Systems Science Faculty Publications and Presentations

Reconstructability analysis (RA) is a method for detecting and analyzing the structure of multivariate categorical data. While Jones and his colleagues extended the original variable‐based formulation of RA to encompass models defined in terms of system states, their focus was the analysis and approximation of real‐valued functions. In this paper, we separate two ideas that Jones had merged together: the “g to k” transformation and state‐based modeling. We relate the idea of state‐based modeling to established variable‐based RA concepts and methods, including structure lattices, search strategies, metrics of model quality, and the statistical evaluation of model fit for analyses based …

Algebras With Inner Mb-Representation, Krzysztof Ciesielski

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

We investigate algebras of sets, and pairs (A,I) consisting of an algebra A and an ideal I, which is a subset of A, that possess an inner MB-representation. We compare inner MB-representability of (A,I) with several properties of (A,I) considered by Baldwin. We show that A is inner MB-representable if and only if A =S(A \ H (A)), where S(^.) is a Marczewski operation defined below and H consists of sets that are hereditarily in A. We study uniqueness issue of the ideal in that representation.

The mathematics involved is within a student’s grasp, and the results are quite startling.

Pebbling On Directed Graphs, Gayatri Gunda, Aparna Higgins

Undergraduate Mathematics Day: Past Content

Consider a finite connected graph G whose vertices are labeled with non-negative integers representing the number of pebbles on each vertex. A pebbling move on a graph G is defined as the removal of two pebbles from one vertex and the addition of one pebble to an adjacent vertex. The pebbling number f(G) of a connected graph is the least number of pebbles such that any distribution of f(G) pebbles on G allows one pebble to be moved to any specified but arbitrary vertex. We consider pebbling on directed graphs and study what configurations of directed graphs allow for pebbling …
