Rough Oscillatory Singular Integral Operators-Ii, Ahmad Al-Salman, Ali A. Al-Jarrah

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study certain classes of oscillatory singular integral operators with kernels in Llog L(S^{n-1}) which is known to be the most desirable size condition for the L^{p} boundedness to hold. We prove that such operators are bounded on L^{p}. Our results extend and improve previously known results. Variations of our approach in this paper can be applied to handle more general oscillatory singular integral operators. This concludes by indicating a variety of results that can be obtained.

Some Asymptotic Results For The Semi-Markovian Random Walk With A Special Barrier, Tahi̇r Khani̇yev

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this study, the semi-Markovian random walk with a special barrier (X(t)) is considered and under some weak assumptions the ergodicity of this process is discussed. Moreover, the characteristic function of ergodic distribution of X(t) is given by using a joint distribution of random variables N and Y_{N} and some exact formulas for the first and second moments of ergodic distribution of the process X(t) are obtained. Based on these results, the asymptotic behaviours of expectation and variance of this process are investigated as S-s \to \infty . It is finally proved that the ergodic distribution of the process is …

Boundary Points Of Self-Affine Sets In R, İbrahi̇m Kirat

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let A be an n \times n expanding matrix with integer entries and D = \{0, d_1, ... , d_{N-1} \} \subseteq {\Bbb{Z}}^n be a set of N distinct vectors, called an N-digit set. The unique non-empty compact set T = T(A,D) satisfying AT = T + D is called a self-affine set. If T has positive Lebesgue measure, it is called a self-affine region. In general, it is not clear how to determine a point to be on the boundary of a self-affine region. In this note, we consider one-dimensional self-affine regions T and present a simple approach to …

On Lightlike Hypersurfaces Of A Semi-Riemannian Space Form, Rifat Güneş, Bayram Şahi̇n, Erol Kiliç

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study a Lightlike hypersurface of a semi-Riemann manifold. We show that a lightlike hypersurface is totally geodesic if and only if it is locally symmetric. Also, we show that a lightlike Hypersurface of IR_{4q}^{4m}(m,q > 1) is totally geodesic under some restrictions. Finally, we give some results on Ricci curvature of a lightlike hypersurface to be symmetric.

On The Weak-Integrity Of Trees, Alpay Kirlangiç

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper the concept of {\em weak-integrity} is introduced as a new measure of the stability of a graph \( G \) and it is defined as I_{w}(G)={\min_{S\subset V(G)}\{ S +m_{e}(G-S)\}}, where m_{e}(G-S) denotes the number of edges of a largest component of G-S. We investigate the weak-integrity of trees and compute the weak-integrity of a binomial tree and all the trees with at most 7 vertices. We also give some results about the weak-integrity of graphs obtained from binary operations.

On Invariant Submanifolds Of Riemannian Warped Product Manifold, Mehmet Atçeken, Bayram Şahi̇n, Erol Kiliç

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we generalize the geometry of the invariant submanifolds of Riemannian product manifold to the geometry of the invariant submanifolds of Riemannian warped product manifold. We investigate some properties of an invariant submanifolds of a Riemannian warped product manifold. We show that every invariant submanifold of the Riemannian warped product manifold is a Riemannian warped product manifold. Also, we give a theorem on the pseudo-umbilical invariant submanifold. Further, we obtain that integral manifolds on an invariant submanifold are curvature-invariant submanifolds. Finally, we give a necessary condititon on a totally umbilical invariant submanifold to be totally geodesic.

Automorphism Groups Of (M-1)-Surfaces With The M-Property, Adnan Melekoğlu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A compact Riemann surface X of genus g is called an (M-1)-surface if it admits an anticonformal involution that fixes g simple closed curves, the second maximum number by Harnack's theorem. If X also admits an automorphism of order g which cyclically permutes these g curves, then we shall call X an (M-1)-surface with the M-property. In this paper we investigate the automorphism groups of (M-1)-surfaces with the M-property.

Change Of Birefringence In Dye-Doped Nematic Liquid Crystals Under Laser Illumination, S. Eren San, Oğuz Köysal, Serhat Özder, F. Necati̇ Ecevi̇t

Turkish Journal of Physics

Birefringence property of E7 nematic liquid crystal is investigated via voltage dependent transmittance spectrums. Measurements are performed at wavelength 632.8 nm, which is the absorbance peak of our sample including anthraquinone derivative Disperse Blue 14. Results of dye-doped samples are compared with those undoped for dark and laser illuminated cases. It was observed that birefringence is dependent on laser illumination for dye-doped samples, up to a threshold voltage after which it is constant.

An Analytical Model For Calculating Bounds On Call Blocking Probabilities In Leo Satellite Networks, A. Hali̇m Zai̇m

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We present an analytical model for calculating upper and lower bounds for call-blocking probabilities in a LEO satellite network that carries voice calls. The method is especially useful for large systems where calculation of call-blocking probabilities are too expensive. Our method calculates upper and lower bounds very easily and produces fairly accurate results.

New Approaches For On-Line Tuning Of The Linear Sliding Surface Slope In Sliding Mode Controllers, Sezai̇ Tokat, İbrahi̇m Eksi̇n, Müjde Güzelkaya

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The main objective of this study is to propose new approaches for on-line tuning of the linear sliding surface slope in sliding mode controllers. The new approaches are developed for a class of second order systems on new coordinate axes, one of which is the classical sliding surface and the other one is naturally chosen to be orthogonal to it. The control input of the sliding mode control law is then modified accordingly by applying the Lyapunov stability condition. The adjustment of the linear sliding surface slope defined in the new coordinate axes is achieved by tuning a new parameter …

Resonant Demagnetization Pwm Forward Converter, B. Bi̇lgi̇n, Işik Çadirci, R. Ergül, M. Ermi̇ş

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a new approach to demagnetization process of a PWM forward converter (FC) is proposed. According to this approach, the demagnetization winding and diode of a conventional FC are removed, and an external capacitor is added in parallel with the secondary diode. This replacement changes the linear demagnetization process of a conventional FC into a resonant demagnetization process. The theoretical performance results of the proposed resonant demagnetization forward converter (RDFC) are compared with those of a conventional FC. A side by side comparison made between the two types of demagnetization strategies has shown that RDFC has some advantages …

A Full Adaptive Observer For Dc Servo Motors, Ata Sevi̇nç

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

An adaptive observer estimating all parameters and load torque is proposed for DC servo motors. The observer uses no direct feedback but the adaptation schemes use current and speed measurements. Both the observer and adaptations are simple to implement for real-time applications. Simulation results are satisfactory for the full adaptive observer. If the observer works in parallel with only load torque and armature resistance adaptations, the results are very good even if very low-quality sensors are used. In this simulation, only a single hall sensor is used as a rotational transducer, which produces a single pulse per revolution, and very …

New Infratechnologies In The Deregulated Power Sector, Jordan Shikoski, Vladimir Katic, Risto Rechkoski

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper discusses new infratechnologies in the deregulated power sector. Most measurement and standardization techniques can be viewed as infratechnology. Infratechnologies are technical tools, including the measurement of data, test methods, and practices and technique. Standardization requirements are related to the measurement requirement. Although the system operation and market transactions concern many import aspects, they are insupportable and often complementary. This distinction between the technical and market information is important because the characteristics of information needs and the impact on economic efficiency and clean power are generally different. The present paper focuses on infratechnologies that can potentially increase the benefits …

A Digitally Controlled Drive System For Travelling-Wave Ultrasonic Motor, Güngör Bal

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A digitally controlled drive system was implemented in this study to control the speed and direction of a travelling-wave ultrasonic motor. The drive system, based on a 2-phase voltage-fed high-frequency serial-resonant inverter, uses the mechanical resonant frequency of an ultrasonic motor. A TMS320F243 digital signal processor was used to control an ultrasonic motor drive system. The speed control of the ultrasonic motor was achieved with a driving frequency in the 41.3-43.3 kHz frequency range. The feasible evaluations of the proposed drive and control system were tested by experiments. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed drive and control system is flexible …
