Approximation Properties Of Szász Type Operators Based On Charlier Polynomials, Arun Kajla, Purshottam Narain Agrawal

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In the present paper, we study some approximation properties of the Sz\'{a}sz type operators involving Charlier polynomials introduced by Varma and Ta\c{s}delen in 2012. First, we establish approximation in a Lipschitz type space and weighted approximation theorems for these operators. Then we obtain the error in the approximation of functions having derivatives of bounded variation.


A Comparative Performance Evaluation Of Various Approaches For Liver Segmentation From Spir Images, Evgi̇n Göçeri̇, Mehmet Zübeyi̇r Ünlü, Oğuz Di̇cle Jan 2015

A Comparative Performance Evaluation Of Various Approaches For Liver Segmentation From Spir Images, Evgi̇n Göçeri̇, Mehmet Zübeyi̇r Ünlü, Oğuz Di̇cle

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Developing a robust method for liver segmentation from magnetic resonance images is a challenging task because of the similar intensity values between adjacent organs, the geometrically complex liver structure, and injection of contrast media. Most importantly, a high anatomical variability of a healthy or diseased liver is a major challenge in defining the exact boundaries of the liver. Several artifacts of pulsation, motion, and partial volume effects are also among the variety of factors that make automatic liver segmentation difficult. In this paper, we present an overview of liver segmentation methods in magnetic resonance images and show comparative results of …

With the increase of people's need for energy, electrical energy transmission has become a very important issue as well as electrical power generation. One of the most important problems in energy transmission is finding the best route in a very complex study area. To date, many people from different disciplines have come together to find the best routes by manual methods like using paper maps and deciding which route is the least-cost path (LCP) to the destination point. Today it is known that, in engineering problems, and especially in path-finding or site-placing problems, the Geographic Information System (GIS) is the …


Bull Optimization Algorithm Based On Genetic Operators For Continuous Optimization Problems, Oğuz Findik Jan 2015

Bull Optimization Algorithm Based On Genetic Operators For Continuous Optimization Problems, Oğuz Findik

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, the researcher proposes a new evolutionary optimization algorithm that depends on genetic operators such as crossover and mutation, referred to as the bull optimization algorithm (BOA). This new optimization algorithm is called the BOA because the best individual is used to produce offspring individuals. The selection algorithm used in the genetic algorithm (GA) is removed from the proposed algorithm. Instead of the selection algorithm, individuals initially produced attempt to achieve better individuals. In the proposed method, crossover operation is always performed by using the best individual. The mutation process is carried out by using individual positions. In …


Multiagent-Based Simulation Of Simultaneous Electricity Market Auctions In Restructured Environment, Mohammad Farshad Jan 2015

Multiagent-Based Simulation Of Simultaneous Electricity Market Auctions In Restructured Environment, Mohammad Farshad

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In the restructured environment of the power industry, various commodities such as energy and operating reserves may be provided through simultaneous auctions.

Considering effects of the energy and varieties of reserve markets and also their interactions in the simulations is of high importance, which leads to more realistic simulation results. In this paper, an approach based on a multiagent system is proposed for simulating the simultaneous energy, spinning reserve, and replacement …


Spherically Symmetric Finsler Metrics With Scalar Flag Curvature, Weidong Song, Fen Zhou Jan 2015

Spherically Symmetric Finsler Metrics With Scalar Flag Curvature, Weidong Song, Fen Zhou

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study spherically symmetric Finsler metrics F= y \phi( x ,\frac{}{ y }), where x \in B^n(r) \subset R^n, y \in T_xB^n(r)\{0} and \phi:[0,r)\times R \rightarrow R. By investigating a PDE equivalent to these metrics being locally projectively flat, we manufacture projectively flat spherically symmetric Finsler metrics in terms of error functions and, using Shen's result, we give its flag curvature.

On P-Schemes With The Same Degrees Of Thin Radical And Thin Residue, Fatemeh Raei Barandagh, Amir Rahnamai Barghi Jan 2015

On P-Schemes With The Same Degrees Of Thin Radical And Thin Residue, Fatemeh Raei Barandagh, Amir Rahnamai Barghi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let p and n>1 be a prime number and an integer, respectively. In this paper, first we show that any p-scheme whose thin radical and thin residue are equal is isomorphic to a fission of the wreath product of 2 thin schemes. In addition, we characterize association p-schemes whose thin radical and thin residue each have degree equal to p. We also characterize association p-schemes on p^n points whose thin radical and thin residue each have degree equal to p^{n-1}, and whose basis relations each have valency 1 or p^{n-1}. Moreover, we show that such schemes are Schurian.

On Separating Subadditive Maps, Vesko Valov Jan 2015

On Separating Subadditive Maps, Vesko Valov

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Recall that a map T \colon C(X,E) \to C(Y,F), where X, Y are Tychonoff spaces and E, F are normed spaces, is said to be separating, if for any 2 functions f,g \in C(X,E) we have c(T(f)) \cap c(T(g))= \varnothing provided c(f) \cap c(g) = \varnothing. Here c(f) is the co-zero set of f. A typical result generalizing the Banach--Stone theorem is of the following type (established by Araujo): if T is bijective and additive such that both T and T^{-1} are separating, then the realcompactification \nu X of X is homeomorphic to \nu Y. In this paper we show …

On Broyden-Like Update Via Some Quadratures For Solving Nonlinear Systems Of Equations, Hassan Mohammad, Mohammed Yusuf Waziri

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this work, we propose a new alternative approximation based on the quasi-Newton approach for solving systems of nonlinear equations using the average of midpoint and Simpson's quadrature. Our goal is to enhance the efficiency of the method (Broyden's method) by reducing the number of iterations it takes to reach a solution. Local convergence analysis and computational results showing the relative efficiency of the proposed method are given.

Warped Product Skew Semi-Invariantsubmanifolds Of Order $1$ Of A Locallyproduct Riemannian Manifold, Hakan Mete Taştan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We introduce warped product skew semi-invariant submanifolds of order $1$ of a locally product Riemannian manifold. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a skew semi-invariant submanifold of order 1 to be a locally warped product. We also establish an inequality between the warping function and the squared norm of the second fundamental form for such submanifolds. The equality case is also discussed.


Sharp Lower Bounds For The Zagreb Indices Of Unicyclic Graphs, Batmend Horoldagva, Kinkar Das Jan 2015

Sharp Lower Bounds For The Zagreb Indices Of Unicyclic Graphs, Batmend Horoldagva, Kinkar Das

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The first Zagreb index $M_1$ is equal to the sum of the squares of the degrees of the vertices, and the second Zagreb index $M_2$ is equal to the sum of the products of the degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices of the respective graph. In this paper we present the lower bound on $M_1$ and $M_2$ among all unicyclic graphs of given order, maximum degree, and cycle length, and characterize graphs for which the bound is attained. Moreover, we obtain some relations between the Zagreb indices for unicyclic graphs.


Generalized Weakly Central Reduced Rings, Ying Zhou, Junchao Wei Jan 2015

Generalized Weakly Central Reduced Rings, Ying Zhou, Junchao Wei

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A ring $R$ is called $GWCN$ if $x^2y^2=xy^2x$ for all $x\in N(R)$ and $y\in R$, which is a proper generalization of reduced rings and $CN$ rings. We study the sufficient conditions for $GWCN$ rings to be reduced and $CN$. We first discuss many properties of $GWCN$ rings. Next, we give some interesting characterizations of left min-abel rings. Finally, with the help of exchange $GWCN$ rings, we obtain some characterizations of strongly regular rings.


On The Second Homology Of The Sch\"{U}Tzenberger Product Of Monoids, Melek Yağci, Leyla Bugay, Hayrullah Ayik Jan 2015

On The Second Homology Of The Sch\"{U}Tzenberger Product Of Monoids, Melek Yağci, Leyla Bugay, Hayrullah Ayik

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

For two finite monoids $S$ and $T$, we prove that the second integral homology of the Sch\"{u}tzenberger product $S\Diamond T$ is equal to $$H_{2}(S\Diamond T)=H_{2}(S)\times H_{2}(T)\times (H_{1}(S)\otimes _{\mathbb Z} H_{1}(T)) $$ as the second integral homology of the direct product of two monoids. Moreover, we show that $S\Diamond T$ is inefficient if there is no left or right invertible element in both $S$ and $T$.


Jacobi-Spectral Method For Integro-Delay Differential Equations With Weakly Singular Kernels, Ishtiaq Ali Jan 2015

Jacobi-Spectral Method For Integro-Delay Differential Equations With Weakly Singular Kernels, Ishtiaq Ali

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We present a numerical solution to the integro-delay differential equation with weakly singular kernels with the delay function $\theta (t)$ vanishing at the initial point of the given interval $[0, T]$ ($\theta (t) = qt, 0 < q < 1)$. In order to fully use the Jacobi orthogonal polynomial theory, we use some function and variable transformation to change the intergro-delay differential equation into a new equation defined on the standard interval $[-1, 1]$. A Gauss--Jacobi quadrature formula is used to evaluate the integral term. The spectral rate of convergence is provided in infinity norm under the assumption that the solution of the given equation is sufficiently smooth. For validation of the theoretical exponential rate of convergence of our method, we provide some numerical examples.

Production processes (design, simulation, fabrication, and testing) and the cost computation time add to the overall manufacturing expenses. A computer-aided modeling approach using the ANFIS is developed and trained with data acquired from the EM simulators, Sonnet Suites and AWR AXIEM, and measurement data. The …
