Sleep monitoring plays a crucial role in understanding and managing various health conditions, including sleep disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and mental health. Traditional sleep monitoring methods rely on Electroencephalography (EEG) and Polysomnography (PSG) in clinical settings. However, these methods are expensive, difficult to administer, and unsuitable for home-based monitoring. In recent years, photoplethysmogram (PPG) has emerged as a promising noninvasive technology that is widely used in wearable devices and holds great potential for sleep assessment. Yet, most current sleep monitoring methods rely on deep learning models, which are inherently "black-box" and challenging in the clinical decision-making process. In this paper, we …

A Family Of Neutrosophic Estimators For Estimating Mean: An Application To Real Data, Bavita Singh, Abhishek Singh, Florentin Smarandache Jan 2025

A Family Of Neutrosophic Estimators For Estimating Mean: An Application To Real Data, Bavita Singh, Abhishek Singh, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In the realm of sample survey research, the classical statistics approach primarily deals with precise and definitive types of data to estimate population parameters when additional information is available. However, this approach fails when faced with data indeterminacies. To address such ambiguities, neutrosophic statistics emerges as an extension of both fuzzy and classical statistics. Thus, in light of the challenges posed by indeterminacy in sampling, we have introduced a proficient neutrosophic class of estimators, with and without Searls technique (optimization tool) for estimating the mean utilizing additional (ancillary) information under neutrosophic simple random sampling (NeSRS). The expression for the Bias …

The indicators used so far within the Theory of Extension can be synthetically expressed by the notion of “position indicators”. More exactly, these indicators can be grouped in two main sub-categories: point-set position indicators and point-two sets position indicators. The secondary goal of this paper is to define these classifications, while the primary goal is that to extend the two notions to the most general notion of set-set position indicator.

Competition Super-Hypergraphs: Revealing Hierarchical Competition In Real-World Networks, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache Jan 2025

Competition Super-Hypergraphs: Revealing Hierarchical Competition In Real-World Networks, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Graph theory provides a powerful language for modeling pairwise connections through vertices and edges [9, 20]. Hypergraphs generalize this idea by permitting hyperedges that join any number of vertices simultaneously [7], while super-hypergraphs iterate the Power-set operation to capture multi-level, hierarchical relationships among hyperedges [40, 22]. A competition hypergraph associates each prey species with a hyperedge containing all its predators, thereby encoding multi-way competition in ecological networks. In this work, we introduce the competition super-hypergraph, which lifts the competition concept to higher tiers of aggregation. We present its formal definition, explore theoretical properties, and illustrate its practical use in real-world …

Uncertain Labeling Graphs And Uncertain Graph Classes (With Survey For Various Uncertain Sets), Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache Jan 2025

Uncertain Labeling Graphs And Uncertain Graph Classes (With Survey For Various Uncertain Sets), Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Graph theory, a branch of mathematics, studies the relationships between entities using vertices and edges. Uncertain Graph Theory has emerged within this field to model the uncertainties present in real-world networks. Graph labeling involves assigning labels, typically integers, to the vertices or edges of a graph according to specific rules or constraints. This paper introduces the concept of the Turiyam Neutrosophic Labeling Graph, which extends the traditional graph framework by incorporating four membership values—truth, indeterminacy, falsity, and a liberal state—at each vertex and edge. This approach enables a more nuanced representation of complex relationships. Additionally, we discuss the Single-Valued Pentapartitioned …

Plithogenic Duplets And Plithogenic Triplets, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache Jan 2025

Plithogenic Duplets And Plithogenic Triplets, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

A Neutrosophic Set is a mathematical framework that represents degrees of truth, indeterminacy, and falsehood to address uncertainty in membership values [41, 42]. In contrast, a Plithogenic Set extends this concept by incorporating attributes, their possible values, and the corresponding degrees of appurtenance and contradiction [50]. Among the related concepts of Neutrosophic Sets, Neutrosophic Duplets and Neutrosophic Triplets are well-known. This paper defines Plithogenic Duplets and Plithogenic Triplets as extensions of these concepts using the Plithogenic Set framework and briefly examines their relationship with existing concepts.

Beyond Dialectics, Paradoxes, And Binary Logic, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Philosophy, long defined by its pursuit of truth, has historically been a battleground for dichotomies: truth vs. falsehood, materialism vs. idealism, reason vs. emotion. These oppositions often provide a framework for understanding philosophical discourse, but they fail to capture the full nuances of reality. To challenge these binary oppositions, I introduced the neutrosophic perspective in philosophy, rooted in Mathematics, and Many-Valued Logics.1 By emphasizing the interrelation of affirmation, negation, and neutrality, neutrosophy allows for the reconciliation of seemingly irreconcilable viewpoints, providing a new lens through which to reinterpret age-old philosophical questions.

A recent simulation-based classical analysis has been developed for interval data. However, a review of the literature indicates that these existing simulations have notable limitations and fail to conform to the neutrosophic statistical framework. In this paper, we propose a novel simulation process designed to analyze neutrosophic data within an appropriate and rigorous neutrosophic framework. We demonstrate that the proposed simulation is more comprehensive and aligns closely with the principles of neutrosophic theory. The results will be obtained through simulation and compared with those of existing methods, with the expectation that the proposed approach provides substantial improvements and is better …

A Plausible Formal Correspondence Between Tetrahedral Condensates/Tsc And Pt-Symmetric Crystals Model Of Cmns (Aka. Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions), Victor Christianto, Florentin Smarandache Jan 2025

A Plausible Formal Correspondence Between Tetrahedral Condensates/Tsc And Pt-Symmetric Crystals Model Of Cmns (Aka. Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions), Victor Christianto, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Akito Takahashi's Tetrahedral Symmetric Condensate (TSC) model, detailed in several of his earlier works1 proposes a mechanism for condensed matter nuclear science (CMNS) aka. low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR) within palladium lattices. The model centres on the formation of a tetrahedral cluster of deuterons, enhancing the probability of nuclear fusion. Here, we explore the possibility of extending this framework by considering the TSC within a more general crystalline solid with tetrahedral symmetry, and by approximating the screening potential experienced by the deuterons using PT-symmetric potentials.
