On The Properties Of Q-Bernstein-Type Polynomials, Serkan Araci, Mehmet Acikgoz, Armen Bagdasaryan

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

The aim of this paper is to give a new approach to modified q-Bernstein polynomials for functions depend on the several variables. We derive the recurrence formulas related to the second Stirling numbers and generalized Bernoulli polynomials. Moreover, the interpolation function of these polynomials depend on the several variables and the derivatives of these polynomials and also their generating function are given. Final part of this paper, we get new interesting identities of modified q-Bernoulli numbers and q-Euler numbers applying p-adic q-integral representation on Zp and p-adic fermionic q-invariant integral on Zp, respectively, to the inverse of q-Bernstein polynomials.

A Hybrid Approach To Optimize Feature Selection Process Using Ibpso- Bfpa For Review Spam Detection, Sp. Rajamohana, K. Umamaheswari

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

With the increase in the customer reviews, feedbacks, suggestions posted in the web forum, blogs led to the emergence of spam. Spam detection is important for both the customer and service providers to arrive at a proper decision while purchasing as well as marketing the product. Most of the research works has been developed only for sentiment classification for the past few decades which favors the spammers to write fake reviews. Hence it is important to detect the spam reviews but the major issues in spam review detection are the high dimensionality of feature space which contains redundant, noisy and …

On General Complementarity Problems, Muhammad Aslam Noor, Khalida Inayat Noor

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

Complementarity problems provide a unified and general framework for studying a wide class of unrelated problems. In this paper, we use the change of variables technique to establish the equivalence between the general complementarity problem and the fixed point problem. This equivalence is used to study the existence of a solution of general complementarity problems and suggest an iterative method. Our methods of analysis is very simple as compared with other techniques. These results can be viewed as significant refinements of the previously known results.

On The Inverse Problem For Thermostatted Kinetic Models With Application To The Financial Market, Carlo Bianca, Aly Kombargi Sep 2017

On The Inverse Problem For Thermostatted Kinetic Models With Application To The Financial Market, Carlo Bianca, Aly Kombargi

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

This paper is concerned with the coupling of the inverse problem theory with the thermostatted kinetic theory. Specifically an inverse problem is proposed where the data vector consists of m known measures, the data kernel is a m×n matrix which depends on the distribution function vector that is solution of the thermostatted kinetic theory model, and the unknown source or signal consists of a n-dimensional vector. In particular the paper focuses on the under-determined inverse problem, namely m < n, and the solution is obtained by employing the principle of maximum Shannon entropy of the information theory. Applications refer to the financial market and specifically to the derivation of the information which triggers the evolution of global stock market indexes. Future research directions are also discussed into the last section of the paper.

Propagation Of Rayleigh Waves In Fiber-Reinforced Anisotropic Solid Thermo-Viscoelastic Media Under Effect Of Rotation, F. S. Bayones, Nahed S. Hussien Sep 2017

Propagation Of Rayleigh Waves In Fiber-Reinforced Anisotropic Solid Thermo-Viscoelastic Media Under Effect Of Rotation, F. S. Bayones, Nahed S. Hussien

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

In this paper, we investigated the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous, pre-stressed elastic layer of finite thickness over a homogeneous, pre-stressed elastic half - space subjected to the rotation. The dispersion equation has been derived for a layer over a half-space, when both media are considered as pre-stressed and the effect of initial rotation shown in earlier investigators, is in general not applicable to the case of pre-stressed media. The results indicate that the effect of the rotation on the Propagation of Rayleigh waves in Fiber- reinforced isotropic solid thermo-viscoelastic media are very pronounced.

Linguistic-Valued Logics Based On Hedge Algebras And Applications To Approximate Reasoning, Nguyen Thi-Minh-Tam, Tran Duc-Khanh

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

Humans reason by means of their own language and they can choose and decide alternatives by evaluating semantics of linguistic terms. The fundamental elements in human reasoning are sentences normally containing vague concepts, and these sentences have implicitly or explicitly a truth degree, which is often expressed also by linguistic terms such as more or less false, very false, false, true, very true, more or less true, approximately true, etc. In this article, we introduce a linguistic-valued predicate logic along with an inference system based on resolution. The truth domain of the logic is a refined hedge algebra, generated by …


Fractal Aesthetics In Architecture, Wolfgang E. Lorenz, Jan Andres, Georg Franck Jul 2017

Fractal Aesthetics In Architecture, Wolfgang E. Lorenz, Jan Andres, Georg Franck

Applied Mathematics & Information Sciences

This paper deals with fractal aesthetics and proposes a new fractal analysis method for the perceptual study of architecture. The authors believe in the universality of formulas and aim to complement the architectural description in terms of proportion. Although a well established fractal analysis method to describe the complexity of facades across different scales already exists, box-counting is imprecise because of too many influences coming along with the method itself. The authors consider the self-similarity as an important part of aesthetic quality in architecture. This is due to the fact that it describes a concept of consistency that holds everything …
