Generalized Submaximality And Paracompactness In Ideal Topological Spaces Via Δβ*-𝔍-Open Sets, Chawalit Boonpok, Areeyuth Sama-Ae

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper explores the notions of δβ^*-𝔍-submaximality and δβ^*-𝔍-paracompactness within ideal topological spaces, viewing them as natural generalizations of the traditional concepts of submaximality and paracompactness. These concepts arise naturally in the context of ideal topology, where an ideal 𝔍 on a topological space provides additional structure for analyzing topological properties. It focuses on the study of submaximal spaces by employing δβ^*-𝔍-open sets, which serve as fundamental building blocks for understanding the topological behavior in ideal spaces. Furthermore, the work provides multiple characterizations of δβ^*-𝔍-paracompact spaces and examines how this property behaves …

The Kinematic Relationship Between Plücker Coordinates,  Moments Of Ruled Surfaces, And Real Quaternion Algebra, Selahatti̇n Aslan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper introduces a new kinematic method for generating ruled surfaces in Euclidean 3-space. We demonstrate that the Plücker coordinate method for straight lines can be extended to ruled surfaces. We prove that the moment of a ruled surface is a unique curve, which is independent of the chosen base curve. Moreover, we introduce a novel and distinctive base curve that is defined as the set of points on the rulings of the ruled surface such that these points are closest to the origin. Thus, we prove that each ruled surface can be generated using a real quaternion and a …

Pgl Orbits On Products Of Flag Varieties, Izzet Coşkun, Abuzer Gündüz

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study the existence of a dense orbit for the diagonal [[EQUATION]] action on self-products of partial flag varieties. We determine when there exists a dense orbit for flag varieties of the form [[EQUATION]] when [[EQUATION]] or when [[EQUATION]] and [[EQUATION]] for some [[EQUATION]]. We also show that certain infinite families of products do not have a dense orbit.

On Statistical Multiplicative Uniform Convergence, Abdullah Aydin, Recep Türk, İrem Güler

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper introduces a new concept of convergence, called statistical multiplicative uniform convergence, on Riesz algebras. This concept unifies three fundamental convergence types: statistical convergence, multiplicative convergence, and relatively uniform convergence. After establishing basic properties such as uniqueness, linearity, and compatibility with algebraic and lattice operations, we investigate its relationships with order convergence, statistical multiplicative order convergence, and relatively uniform convergence. In particular, we prove that statistical multiplica tive uniform convergence coincides with statistical multiplicative order convergence when an order unit exists. Moreover, for monotone sequences in Archimedean semiprime f-algebras, statistical multiplicative uniform convergence implies order convergence. We also study …

Analysis And Categorization Of Second-Order Linear Partial Dynamic Equations On Time Scales, Svetlin G. Georgiev, Jervin Zen Lobo, Sanket Tikare

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we obtain the canonical form of second-order linear partial dynamic equations in two independent variables on time scales, together with the identity for the characteristic quadratic form. This is then used to classify these equations as hyperbolic, elliptic, or parabolic. We deduce the characteristic equations in each case, determine their roots, and provide the corresponding characteristic curves. In one case, we derive the generalized Beltrami equations on time scales. Suitable examples involving equations of interest are explored, and the developed theory is illustrated through these examples.

Warped Product Ptr-Submanifolds In A Kähler Manifold, Firat Yerli̇kaya, Bayram Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Recently, the PTR-submanifold of an almost Hermitian manifold has been defined and studied as a large class including CR-submanifolds, hemi-slant submanifolds, and pointwise hemi-slant submanifolds, which are well-known in the literature. This novel category of submanifolds comprises two distributions, one of which is antiinvariant while the complementary distribution is arbitrary. This paper discusses the case of a PTR-submanifold being a warped product. It is first shown that there are no such warped product submanifolds for the case where the first factor is antiinvariant. Therefore, warped product PTR-submanifolds whose second factor is antiinvariant are examined. A characterization is given for this …

Integrated Edge Detection Of Gravity Data And Seismicity Approach For Mapping Potential Faults In The Bolu Region, Hazel Deni̇z Toktay, Burçi̇n Di̇dem Tamtaş

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Bolu region, situated along the western–central segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), is characterized by a complex fault architecture in which multiple overlapping strike-slip segments and associated subsurface structures accommodate active crustal deformation. Although the principal fault strands of the NAFZ have been well mapped, several clusters of seismicity are observed in areas without clear surface fault expression, indicating the presence of subsurface or poorly expressed fault zones. In this study, we integrated edge detection methods with a seismicity approach to delineate active and buried structural features across the Bolu region. Bouguer gravity anomalies derived from the …

Efficient Edge Implementation Of Midasnet For Real-Time Depth Estimation In Indoor Robotics, Muhammed Yasi̇n Adiyaman, İsmai̇l Fai̇k Başkaya

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Real-time depth estimation is crucial in many vision-related tasks, including autonomous driving, 3D reconstruction, robotics, and simultaneous localization and mapping. In recent years, many methods have been proposed to solve depth maps from images by utilizing different modality setups like monocular vision, binocular vision, or sensor fusion. However, for real-time deployment on edge devices, complex methods are not suitable due to latency constraints and limited computation capacity. For edge implementation, models should be simple, minimal in size, and hardware-friendly. Considering these factors, we implemented MiDaSNet, which works on the simplest setup of monocular vision and utilizes hardware-friendly convolutional neural network-based …

Dual-Stream Bilstm Framework With Histogram-Based Shape Features For Household Load Forecasting, Chang Xu, Wong Jee Keen Raymond, Hazlee Azil Illias, Hazlie Mokhlis

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This study proposes a dual-stream BiLSTM framework for household load forecasting that integrates time-series dynamics with histogram-based daily shape features. Unlike existing models relying on weather or external data, the proposed method extracts intrinsic load-shape information directly from normalized daily curves. A multihead attention module fuses temporal and shape representations, enabling adaptive weighting of informative dimensions. Experiments on three real-world datasets show consistent improvements over the baseline BiLSTM, with up to 30.12%, 24.27%, and 19.03% reductions in MAE, RMSE, and SMAPE, respectively. The results highlight the framework’s robustness and efficiency for fine-grained load forecasting without external inputs.

Parameter Optimization Of Dual-Qsg Based Pll For Real-Time Control Of Grid-Connected Ev Chargers, Gaurav Yadav, Sudhanshu Mittal, Vineet Kumar, Sombir Kundu, Praveen Bansal

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Dual-Quadrature Signal Generator (D-QSG) based Phase lock loop (PLL) has been recently proposed to handle the nonideal grid voltage conditions. However, selecting the parameter for D-QSG based controller has been a great challenge, especially for higher-order systems. Inappropriate parameter selection tends to increase settling time both in terms of amplitude as well as harmonics attenuation. Hence, in the proposed work, the main focus is on parameter selection to achieve a faster response. Here, a fourth-order Quasi-Synchronous Generator has been realized by cascading the two nonidentical second order generalized integrators (NISOGIs). Furthermore, the parameters of both the NISOGIs are selected in …

Class-Aligned Frequency Augmentation Using Variational Mode Decomposition Forfew-Shot Image Classification, Leila Boussaad

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Few-shot image classification benefits from data augmentation, yet most existing methods operate in pixel space with limited control over spectral semantics. We introduce a lightweight, frequency-guided augmentation strategy based on Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD). Our method constructs an offline, per-class ModeBank by decomposing downsampled luminance patches and retaining midband modes that encode class-specific texture patterns. During episodic training, VMD is never executed online: instead, for each support image, a same-class midband mode is selected and blended using PSNR-targeted scaling with a luminance energy cap, ensuring perceptual consistency. The augmentation is fast, reproducible, class-consistent, and integrates seamlessly into standard metric-based pipelines …
