Characterization And Dissolution Behaviors Of The Çatalağzı (Zonguldak, Turkey) Power Plant Fly Ash, Hati̇ce Yilmaz Jan 2023

Characterization And Dissolution Behaviors Of The Çatalağzı (Zonguldak, Turkey) Power Plant Fly Ash, Hati̇ce Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

This study focused on the characterization and dissolution behaviors of fly ash produced by the Çatalağzı power plant (Zonguldak, Turkey) in which bituminous coal is burned. The fly ash, containing mainly a glassy phase and small crystalline phases, is a typical class F fly ash with pozzolanic properties. Therefore, it can be used in many different areas. For this material to be used safely, it is necessary to determine its dissolution behavior as well as its physical, chemical, mineralogical, and morphological properties. The dissolution behavior of the Çatalağzı power plant fly ash (CFA) was examined by two standard methods, namely …


New High Resolution Aeromagnetic Anomaly Map Of Türkiye And Its Various Derivative-Based Maps, Alper Kiyak, Eren Pamuk, Serkan Köksal, Mustafa Levent Bakar, Serdar Tosuner Jan 2023

New High Resolution Aeromagnetic Anomaly Map Of Türkiye And Its Various Derivative-Based Maps, Alper Kiyak, Eren Pamuk, Serkan Köksal, Mustafa Levent Bakar, Serdar Tosuner

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Since Türkiye's territory is mostly mountainous and forested, earth science studies in these areas have not been completed at an adequate level and with a satisfying resolution. However, due to the long time and cost of collecting measurements from land in large- and medium-scale studies and due to the inability to collect measurements in regular grid intervals in large-scale studies to be carried out on land, an airborne geophysical survey project was conducted in order to collect high-resolution magnetic and radiometric country-scale data. Total magnetic field and radiometry data were collected from the air between 2017 and 2022 within the …


A Local Earthquake Tomography On The Eaf Shows Dipping Fault Structure, Sezi̇m Ezgi̇ Güverci̇n Jan 2023

A Local Earthquake Tomography On The Eaf Shows Dipping Fault Structure, Sezi̇m Ezgi̇ Güverci̇n

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The East Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) is a left-lateral transform fault zone located between the Anatolian and Arabian plates. In this study, in order to image the upper crustal structure beneath the eastern segments of EAFZ, 3D seismic velocity variations are computed using local earthquake tomography. The initial catalog for the tomography process consists of 2200 well-located earthquakes recorded at 49 seismic stations around the study region between 2007 and 2020. 1D initial velocity model is constructed based on previous studies in the region. The maximum number of iterations and the velocity perturbations which sustain the linearity of the inversion …


Variations In Coupling And Deformation Along The Hellenic Subduction Zone, Michael Floyd, Robert King, Demitris Paradissis, Hayrullah Karabulut, Semi̇h Ergi̇ntav, Kostas Raptakis, Robert Reilinger Jan 2023

Variations In Coupling And Deformation Along The Hellenic Subduction Zone, Michael Floyd, Robert King, Demitris Paradissis, Hayrullah Karabulut, Semi̇h Ergi̇ntav, Kostas Raptakis, Robert Reilinger

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

GNSS observations in and around the Aegean Sea, Peloponnese, and western Turkey are sufficiently precise and densely spaced to provide an image of the deformation associated with the Hellenic subduction zone. To isolate deformation associated with the plate boundary, we use GNSS secular velocities and shallow earthquake locations to determine an upper plate reference frame with low internal deformation (/yr) that includes a large area of the central and western Aegean. We interpret upper plate deformation as resulting from stronger coupling on the subduction plate interface beneath western Crete than on the western or eastern segments of the Hellenic subduction …


Internal Deformation Of Continental Blocks Within Converging Plates: Insights From The Ovacık Fault (Anatolia, Türkiye), Cengi̇z Zabci, Taylan Sançar, Dmitry Tikhomirov, Susan Ivy-Ochs, Christof Vockenhuber, Anke M. Friedrich, Müge Yazici, Naki̇ Akçar Jan 2023

Internal Deformation Of Continental Blocks Within Converging Plates: Insights From The Ovacık Fault (Anatolia, Türkiye), Cengi̇z Zabci, Taylan Sançar, Dmitry Tikhomirov, Susan Ivy-Ochs, Christof Vockenhuber, Anke M. Friedrich, Müge Yazici, Naki̇ Akçar

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The active tectonics of Anatolia is mostly characterized by its westward motion with respect to Eurasia between the Hellenic subduction in the west and Arabia-Eurasia continental collision in the east. Although most of the deformation is suggested to be confined along Anatolia?s boundary elements, viz. the North and East Anatolian shear zones, recent studies indicate a higher magnitude of internal strain accumulation, especially along the parallel/subparallel strike-slip faults of its central province. We present the first morphochronology-based slip rate estimate for one of these strike-slip structures, the Ovacık Fault, by using cosmogenic 36Cl dating of offset fluvial deposits. At the …

Contemporary Velocity Field For Turkey Inferred From Combination Of A Dense Network Of Long Term Gnss Observations, Ali̇ İhsan Kurt, Ali̇ Değer Özbakir, Ayhan Ci̇ngöz, Semi̇h Ergi̇ntav, Uğur Doğan, Seda Özarpaci

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Anatolia?Aegean domain represents a broad plate boundary zone, with the deformation accommodated by major faults bounding quasi-low deforming units. First-order features of this deformation were obtained in the form of a GNSS-derived velocity field. During the last decade, the accuracy of velocity solutions was improved, and the expansion of continuous networks increased spatial resolution. Nonetheless, an accurate representation of the deformation field requires interstation distances much lower than the locking depth of nearby faults, which has not yet been satisfied. The basis for creating a precise and accurate velocity field is uniform processing of the time series recorded both …


Pell-Lucas Collocation Method For Solving A Class Of Second Order Nonlinear Differential Equations With Variable Delays, Şuayi̇p Yüzbaşi, Gamze Yildirim Jan 2023

Pell-Lucas Collocation Method For Solving A Class Of Second Order Nonlinear Differential Equations With Variable Delays, Şuayi̇p Yüzbaşi, Gamze Yildirim

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this study, the approximate solution of the nonlinear differential equation with variable delays is investigated by means of a collocation method based on the truncated Pell-Lucas series. In the first stage of the method, the assumed solution form (the truncated Pell-Lucas polynomial solution) is expressed in the matrix form of the standard bases. Next, the matrix forms of the necessary derivatives, the nonlinear terms, and the initial conditions are written. Then, with the help of the equally spaced collocation points and these matrix relations, the problem is reduced to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. Finally, the obtained system …


An Invariant Of Regular Isotopy For Disoriented Links, İsmet Altintaş, Hati̇ce Parlatici Jan 2023

An Invariant Of Regular Isotopy For Disoriented Links, İsmet Altintaş, Hati̇ce Parlatici

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we define a two-variable polynomial invariant of regular isotopy, $M_{K}$ for a disoriented link diagram $K$. By normalizing the polynomial $M_{K}$ using complete writhe, we obtain a polynomial invariant of ambient isotopy, $N_{K}$, for a disoriented link diagram $K$. The polynomial $N_{K}$ is a generalization of the expanded Jones polynomial for disoriented links and is an expansion of the Kauffman polynomial $F$ to the disoriented links. Moreover, the polynomial $M_{K}$ is an expansion of the Kauffman polynomial $L$ to the disoriented links.

We give a new way to obtain the standard isomorphisms of complex Clifford algebras, known as the tensor product of Pauli matrices, by representing the complex Clifford algebras on the space of complex valued functions defined over a finite subset of the Cantor set.


Forming Coupled Dispersionless Equations Of Families Of Bertrand Curves, Kemal Eren Jan 2023

Forming Coupled Dispersionless Equations Of Families Of Bertrand Curves, Kemal Eren

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this study, we establish a link of the coupled dispersionless (CD) equations system with the motion of Bertrand curve pairs. Moreover, we find the Lax equations that provide the integrability of these equations. By taking an appropriate choice of variables we show the link of the short pulse (SP) equation with the motion of Bertrand curve pairs via the reciprocal (hodograph) transformation. Finally, we prove that the conserved quantity of the corresponding coupled dispersionless equations obtained from each of these curve pairs is constant.

On The Distribution Of Adjacent Zeros Of Solutions To First-Order Neutral Differential Equations, Emad R. Attia, Ohoud N. Al-Masarer, Irena Jadlovska

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The purpose of this paper is to study the distribution of zeros of solutions to a first-order neutral differential equation of the form \begin{equation*} \left[x(t) + p(t) x(t-\tau)\right]' + q(t) x(t-\sigma) = 0, \quad t \geq t_0, \end{equation*} where $p\in C([t_0,\infty),[0,\infty))$, $q \in C([t_0,\infty),(0,\infty))$, $\tau,\sigma>0$, and $\sigma>\tau$. We obtain new upper bound estimates for the distance between consecutive zeros of solutions, which improve upon many of the previously known ones. The results are formulated so that they can be generalized without much effort to equations for which the distribution of zeros problem is related to the study of …


Novel Correlation Coefficients For Interval-Valued Fermatean Hesitant Fuzzy Sets With Pattern Recognition Application, İbrahi̇m Demi̇r Jan 2023

Novel Correlation Coefficients For Interval-Valued Fermatean Hesitant Fuzzy Sets With Pattern Recognition Application, İbrahi̇m Demi̇r

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A combination of interval-valued Fermatean fuzzy sets with Fermatean hesitant fuzzy elements in the form of interval values is known as an interval-valued Fermatean hesitant fuzzy set. Since Fermatean hesitant fuzzy sets are effective instruments for representing more complex, ambiguous, and hazy information, interval-valued Fermatean hesitant fuzzy sets are expansions of these sets. This investigation will concentrate on four different types of correlation coefficients for Fermatean hesitant fuzzy sets and expand them to include correlation coefficients and weighted correlation coefficients for interval-valued Fermatean hesitant fuzzy sets. Finally, the numerical examples demonstrate the viability and usefulness of the suggested methodologies in …


Geodesics And Isocline Distributions In Tangent Bundles Of Nonflat Lorentzian-Heisenberg Spaces, Murat Altunbaş Jan 2023

Geodesics And Isocline Distributions In Tangent Bundles Of Nonflat Lorentzian-Heisenberg Spaces, Murat Altunbaş

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $(H_{3},g_{1})$ and $(H_{3},g_{2})$ be the Lorentzian-Heisenberg spaces with nonflat metrics $g_{1}$ and $g_{2},\ $and $(TH_{3},g_{1}^{s}),\ (TH_{3},g_{2}^{s})$ be their tangent bundles with the Sasaki metric, respectively. In the present paper, we find nontotally geodesic distributions in tangent bundles by using lifts of contact forms from the base manifold $H_{3}.$We give examples for totally geodesic but not isocline distributions. We study the geodesics of tangent bundles by considering horizontal and natural lifts of geodesics of the base manifold $H_{3}$. We also investigate more general classes of geodesics which are not obtained from horizontal and natural lifts of geodesics.

Geometric Singularities And Regularity Of Solution Of The Stokes System In Nonsmooth Domains, Yasir Nadeem Anjam Jan 2023

Geometric Singularities And Regularity Of Solution Of The Stokes System In Nonsmooth Domains, Yasir Nadeem Anjam

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper deals with the geometrical singularities of the weak solution of the mixed boundary value problem governed by the stationary Stokes system in two-dimensional nonsmooth domains with corner points and points at which the type of boundary conditions changes. The presence of these points on the boundary generally generates local singularities in the solution. We will see the impact of the geometrical singularities of the boundary or the mixed boundary conditions on the qualitative properties of the solution including its regularity. Moreover, the asymptotic singular representations for the solution which inherently depend on the zeros of certain transcendental functions …

Separation, Connectedness, And Disconnectedness, Mehmet Baran

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notions of hereditarily disconnected and totally disconnected objects in a topological category and examine the relationship as well as interrelationships between them. Moreover, we characterize each of $T_{2}$, connected, hereditarily disconnected, and totally disconnected objects in some topological categories and compare our results with the ones in the category of topological spaces.


The Class Of Demi Kb-Operators On Banach Lattices, Hedi Benkhaled, Aref Jeribi Jan 2023

The Class Of Demi Kb-Operators On Banach Lattices, Hedi Benkhaled, Aref Jeribi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we introduce and study the new concept of demi KB-operators. Let $E$ be a Banach lattice. An operator $T: E\longrightarrow E$ is said to be a demi KB-operator if, for every positive increasing sequence $\{x_{n}\}$ in the closed unit ball $\mathcal{B}_{E}$ of $E$ such that $\{x_{n}-Tx_{n}\}$ is norm convergent to $x\in E$, there is a norm convergent subsequence of $\{x_{n}\}$. If the latter sequence has a weakly convergent subsequence then $T$ is called a weak demi KB-operator. We also investigate the relationship of these classes of operators with classical notions of operators, such as b-weakly demicompact operators …


Approximation Results For The Moments Of Random Walk With Normally Distributed Interference Of Chance, Zülfi̇ye Hanali̇oğlu, Aynura Poladova, Tahi̇r Khani̇yev Jan 2023

Approximation Results For The Moments Of Random Walk With Normally Distributed Interference Of Chance, Zülfi̇ye Hanali̇oğlu, Aynura Poladova, Tahi̇r Khani̇yev

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this study, a random walk process $\left(X\left(t\right)\right)$ with normally distributed interference of chance is considered. In the literature, this process has been shown to be ergodic and the limit form of the ergodic distribution has been found. Here, unlike previous studies, the moments of the $X\left(t\right)$ process are investigated. Although studies investigating the moment problem for various stochastic processes (such as renewal-reward processes) exist in the literature, it has not been considered for random walk processes, as it requires the use of new mathematical tools. Therefore, in this study, firstly, the exact formulas for the first four moments of …

Inverse Nodal Problem For The Quadratic Pencil Of The Sturm$-$Liouville Equations With Parameter-Dependent Nonlocal Boundary Condition, Yaşar Çakmak, Baki̇ Keski̇n

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we consider the inverse nodal problem for a quadratic pencil of the Sturm$-$Liouville equations with parameter-dependent Bitsadze$-$Samarskii type nonlocal boundary condition and we give an algorithm for the reconstruction of the potential functions by obtaining the asymptotics of the nodal points.

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, quaternions, which is a preferred and elegant method for expressing spherical rotations, are generalized with the help of generalized scalar product spaces, and elliptical rotations on any given ellipsoid are examined by them. To this end, firstly, we define the generalized elliptical scalar product space which accepts the given ellipsoid as a sphere and determines skew symmetric matrices, and the generalized vector product related to this scalar product space. Then we define the generalized elliptical quaternions by using these notions. Finally, elliptical rotations on any ellipsoid in the space are examined by using the unit generalized elliptical …

Studying A Doubly Nonlinear Model Of Slightly Compressible Forchheimer Flows In Rotating Porous Media, Emi̇ne Çeli̇k, Luan Hoang, Thinh Kieu Jan 2023

Studying A Doubly Nonlinear Model Of Slightly Compressible Forchheimer Flows In Rotating Porous Media, Emi̇ne Çeli̇k, Luan Hoang, Thinh Kieu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We study the generalized Forchheimer flows of slightly compressible fluids in rotating porous media. In the problem's model, the varying density in the Coriolis force is fully accounted for without any simplifications. It results in a doubly nonlinear parabolic equation for the density. We derive a priori estimates for the solutions in terms of the initial, boundary data and physical parameters, emphasizing on the case of unbounded data. Weighted Poincare-Sobolev inequalities suitable to the equation's nonlinearity, adapted Moser's iteration, and maximum principle are used and combined to obtain different types of estimates.


Attractors For Semigroups With Multi-Dimensional Time And Pdes In Unbounded Domains, Anna Kostianko, Sergey Zelik Jan 2023

Attractors For Semigroups With Multi-Dimensional Time And Pdes In Unbounded Domains, Anna Kostianko, Sergey Zelik

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We develop the attractors theory for the semigroups with multidimensional time belonging to some closed cone in an Euclidean space and apply the obtained general results to partial differential equations (PDEs) in unbounded domains. The main attention is payed to elliptic boundary problems in general unbounded domains. In contrast to the previous works in this direction our theory does not require the underlying domain to be cylindrical or cone-like or to be shift semiinvariant with respect to some direction. In particular, the theory is applicable to the exterior domains.


Discontinuous Galerkin Method For Blow-Up Solutions Of Nonlinear Wave Equations, Asma Azaiez, Mondher Benjemaa, Aida Jrajria, Hatem Zaag Jan 2023

Discontinuous Galerkin Method For Blow-Up Solutions Of Nonlinear Wave Equations, Asma Azaiez, Mondher Benjemaa, Aida Jrajria, Hatem Zaag

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

e develop and study an explicit time-space discrete discontinuous Galerkin finite element method to approximate the solution of one-dimensional nonlinear wave equations. We show that the numerical scheme is stable if a nonuniform time mesh is considered. We also investigate the blow-up phenomena and we prove that under weak convergence assumptions, the numerical blow-up time tends toward the theoretical one. The validity of our results is confirmed throughout several examples and benchmarks.


Blow-Up Of Solutions For Wave Equation With Multiple ?(X)-Laplacian And Variable Exponent Nonlinearities, Aya Khaldi, Amar Ouaoua, Messaoud Maouni Jan 2023

Blow-Up Of Solutions For Wave Equation With Multiple ?(X)-Laplacian And Variable Exponent Nonlinearities, Aya Khaldi, Amar Ouaoua, Messaoud Maouni

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We consider an initial value problem related to the equation \begin{equation*} u_{tt}-{div}\left( \left\vert \nabla u\right\vert ^{m\left( x\right) -2}\nabla u\right) -{div}\left( \left\vert \nabla u_{t}\right\vert ^{r\left( x\right) -2}\nabla u_{t}\right) -\gamma \Delta u_{t}=\left\vert u\right\vert ^{p\left( x\right) -2}u, \end{equation*} with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition in a bounded domain $\Omega $. Under suitable conditions on variable-exponent $m\left( .\right) ,$ $r\left( .\right), $ and $p\left( .\right) ,$ we prove a blow-up of solutions with negative initial energy.

On The Rank Of Generalized Order-Preserving Transformation Semigroups, Haytham Darweesh Mustafa Abusarri̇s, Gonca Ayik

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

For any two non-empty (disjoint) chains $X$ and $Y$, and for a fixed order-preserving transformation $\theta : Y \rightarrow X$, let $\mathcal{GO} (X,Y; \theta )$ be the generalized order-preserving transformation semigroup. Let $\mathcal{O}(Z)$ be the order-preserving transformation semigroup on the set $Z=X\cup Y$ with a defined order. In this paper, we show that $\mathcal{GO}(X,Y;\theta)$ can be embedded in $O(Z,Y)=\{\, \alpha\in \mathcal{O}(Z)\, :\, Z\alpha \subseteq Y\,\}$, the semigroup of order-preserving transformations with restricted range. If $\theta \in \mathcal{GO}(Y,X)$ is one-to-one, then we show that $\mathcal{GO}(X,Y; \theta)$ and $O(X, im (\theta))$ are isomorphic semigroups. If we suppose that $\left X \right =m$,\, …

Szabos Algorithm And Applications, Michel Bertrand Djiadeu Ngaha, Salomon Joseph Mbatakou, Romain Nimpa Pefoukeu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, Szabos algorithm is used as the main tool to find locally symmetric left invariant Riemannian metrics on some $4$-dimensional Lie groups. Locally symmetric left invariant Riemannian Lie groups constitute an important subclass of Riemannian Lie groups with zero-divergence Weyl-tensor the so-called C-manifolds. Some properties of the curvature operator of these 4-dimensional C-manifolds are studied.


Perfect Fluid Spacetimes And $K$-Almost Yamabe Solitons, Krishnendu De, Uday Chand De, Aydin Gezer Jan 2023

Perfect Fluid Spacetimes And $K$-Almost Yamabe Solitons, Krishnendu De, Uday Chand De, Aydin Gezer

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, we presumed that a perfect fluid is the source of the gravitational field while analyzing the solutions to the Einstein field equations. With this new and creative approach, here we study $k$-almost Yamabe solitons and gradient $k$-almost Yamabe solitons. First, two examples are constructed to ensure the existence of gradient $k$-almost Yamabe solitons. Then we show that if a perfect fluid spacetime admits a $k$-almost Yamabe soliton, then its potential vector field is Killing if and only if the divergence of the potential vector field vanishes. Besides, we prove that if a perfect fluid spacetime permits a …
