The paper aims to explain the technology of emergence of information. Our research proves that information as communicational product is the result of processing within some operations, actions, mechanisms and strategies of informational material meanings. Are determined eight computational-communicative operations of building information. Information occurs in two communication phases, syncretic and the segregation-synthetic. The syncretic phase consists of four operations: referral of significant field, primary delimitation of information, detection-looking information and an anticipative-draft constitution (feedforward). The segregation-synthetic phase also includes four operations: discrimination, identification, interpretation and confrontation (feedback). In the future we will investigate informational actions, mechanisms and strategies.

The weights of evaluation criteria could have a significant impact on the results obtained by applying multiple criteria decision-making methods. Therefore, the two extensions of the SWARA method that can be used in cases when it is not easy, or even is impossible to reach a consensus on the expected importance of the evaluation criteria are proposed in this paper. The primary objective of the proposed extensions is to provide an understandable and easy-to-use approach to the collecting of respondents’ real attitudes towards the significance of evaluation criteria and to also provide an approach to the checking of the reliability …


Multicriteria Decision Making Using Double Refined Indeterminacy Neutrosophic Cross Entropy And Indeterminacy Based Cross Entropy, Ilanthenral Kandasamy, Florentin Smarandache 2017 University of New Mexico

Multicriteria Decision Making Using Double Refined Indeterminacy Neutrosophic Cross Entropy And Indeterminacy Based Cross Entropy, Ilanthenral Kandasamy, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Double Refined Indeterminacy Neutrosophic Set (DRINS) is an inclusive case of the refined neutrosophic set, defined by Smarandache [1], which provides the additional possibility to represent with sensitivity and accuracy the uncertain, imprecise, incomplete, and inconsistent information which are available in real world.

More precision is provided in handling indeterminacy; by classifying indeterminacy (I) into two, based on membership; as indeterminacy leaning towards truth membership (IT ) and indeterminacy leaning towards false membership (IF ). This kind of classification of indeterminacy is not feasible with the existing Single Valued Neutrosophic Set (SVNS), but it is a particular case of the …

Hyperuncertain, Superuncertain, And Superhyperuncertain Sets/Logics/Probabilities/Statistics, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In this paper, we define for the first time the HyperUncertain, SuperUncertain, and SuperHyperUncertain Sets/Logics/Probabilities/Statistics, the classical case (when the appurtenance degree of a generic element belongs to the unit interval [0, 1]), and the non-classical case (when the appurtenance degree of a generic element is outside on the interval [0, 1]; such theories are called Over/Under/Off-Sets/Logics/Probabilities/Statistics). We prove that the Unary SuperHyperFunction is a generalization of all Uncertain Sets/Logics/Probabilities.


Fast Multipole Method Using Cartesian Tensor In Beam Dynamic Simulation, He Zhang, He Huang, Rui Li, Jie Chen, Li-Shi Luo 2017 Old Dominion University

Fast Multipole Method Using Cartesian Tensor In Beam Dynamic Simulation, He Zhang, He Huang, Rui Li, Jie Chen, Li-Shi Luo

Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications

The fast multipole method (FMM) using traceless totally symmetric Cartesian tensor to calculate the Coulomb interaction between charged particles will be presented. The Cartesian tensor based FMM can be generalized to treat other non-oscillating interactions with the help of the differential algebra or the truncated power series algebra. Issues on implementation of the FMM in beam dynamic simulations are also discussed. © 2017 Author(s).


Quantum Groups And Knot Invariants, Greg A. Hamilton 2017 University of Richmond

Quantum Groups And Knot Invariants, Greg A. Hamilton

Honors Theses

Knot theory arguably holds claim to the title of the mathematical discipline with the most unusually diverse applications. A knot can be defined topologically as an embedding of S1 in R3. Naturally, two knots are topologically equivalent if one cannot be smoothly deformed into the other. The question of whether two knots are equivalent is highly non-trivial, and so the question of knot invariants used to distinguish knots has occupied knot theorists for over a century. Knot theory has found application in statistical mechanics [1], symbolic logic and set theory [2], quantum fi theory [3], quantum computing [4], etc. …


Mock Theta Function Identities Deriving From Bilateral Basic Hypergeometric Series, James McLaughlin 2017 West Chester University of Pennsylvania

Mock Theta Function Identities Deriving From Bilateral Basic Hypergeometric Series, James Mclaughlin

Mathematics Faculty Publications

The bilateral series corresponding to many of the third-, fifth-, sixth- and eighth order mock theta functions may be derived as special cases of 2ψ2 series ∞ ∑n=−∞ (a, c;q)n (b,d;q)n z n . Three transformation formulae for this series due to Bailey are used to derive various transformation and summation formulae for both these mock theta functions and the corresponding bilateral series. New and existing summation formulae for these bilateral series are also used to make explicit in a number of cases the fact that for a mock theta function, say χ(q), and a root of unity in a …


Sampling And Reconstruction Of Spatial Signals, Cheng Cheng 2017 University of Central Florida

Sampling And Reconstruction Of Spatial Signals, Cheng Cheng

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Digital processing of signals f may start from sampling on a discrete set Γ, f →(f(ϒη))ϒηεΓ. The sampling theory is one of the most basic and fascinating topics in applied mathematics and in engineering sciences. The most well known form is the uniform sampling theorem for band-limited/wavelet signals, that gives a framework for converting analog signals into sequences of numbers. Over the past decade, the sampling theory has undergone a strong revival and the standard sampling paradigm is extended to non-bandlimited signals including signals in reproducing kernel spaces (RKSs), signals with finite rate of innovation (FRI) and sparse signals, and …

In this research paper, the graph of the bipolar single-valued neutrosophic set model (BSVNS) is proposed. The graphs of single valued neutrosophic set models is generalized by this graph. For the BSVNS model, several results have been proved on complete and isolated graphs. Adding, an important and suitable condition for the graphs of the BSVNS model to become an isolated graph of the BSVNS model has been demonstrated.


On A Class Of Quaternionic Positive Definite Functions And Their Derivatives, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, Irene Sabadini 2017 Chapman University

On A Class Of Quaternionic Positive Definite Functions And Their Derivatives, Daniel Alpay, Fabrizio Colombo, Irene Sabadini

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

In this paper, we start the study of stochastic processes over the skew field of quaternions. We discuss the relation between positive definite functions and the covariance of centered Gaussian processes and the construction of stochastic processes and their derivatives. The use of perfect spaces and strong algebras and the notion of Fock space are crucial in this framework.

Characterizations Of Families Of Rectangular, Finite Impulse Response, Para-Unitary Systems, Daniel Alpay, Palle Jorgensen, Izchak Lewkowicz

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

We here study Finite Impulse Response (FIR) rectangular, not necessarily causal, systems which are (para)-unitary on the unit circle (=the class U). First, we offer three characterizations of these systems. Then, introduce a description of all FIRs in U, as copies of a real polytope, parametrized by the dimensions and the McMillan degree of the FIRs.

Finally, we present six simple ways (along with their combinations) to construct, from any FIR, a large family of FIRs, of various dimensions and McMillan degrees, so that whenever the original system is in U, so is the whole family.

A key role is …

An Optimal A Posteriori Error Estimates Of The Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method For The Second-Order Wave Equation In One Space Dimension, Mahboub Baccouch 2017 University of Nebraska at Omaha

An Optimal A Posteriori Error Estimates Of The Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method For The Second-Order Wave Equation In One Space Dimension, Mahboub Baccouch

Mathematics Faculty Publications

In this paper, we provide the optimal convergence rate of a posteriori error estimates for the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for the second-order wave equation in one space dimension. One of the key ingredients in our analysis is the recent optimal superconvergence result in [W. Cao, D. Li and Z. Zhang, Commun. Comput. Phys. 21 (1) (2017) 211-236]. We first prove that the LDG solution and its spatial derivative, respectively, converge in the L 2 -norm to (p + 1)-degree right and left Radau interpolating polynomials under mesh refinement. The order of convergence is proved to be p + …


A Flexible Distribution Class For Count Data, Kimberly F. Sellers, Andrew W. Swift, Kimberly S. Weems 2017 University of Nebraska at Omaha

A Flexible Distribution Class For Count Data, Kimberly F. Sellers, Andrew W. Swift, Kimberly S. Weems

Mathematics Faculty Publications

The Poisson, geometric and Bernoulli distributions are special cases of a flexible count distribution, namely the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson (CMP) distribution – a two-parameter generalization of the Poisson distribution that can accommodate data over- or under-dispersion. This work further generalizes the ideas of the CMP distribution by considering sums of CMP random variables to establish a flexible class of distributions that encompasses the Poisson, negative binomial, and binomial distributions as special cases. This sum-of-Conway-Maxwell-Poissons (sCMP) class captures the CMP and its special cases, as well as the classical negative binomial and binomial distributions. Through simulated and real data examples, we demonstrate this …


Nonminimal Cyclic Invariant Subspaces Of Hyperbolic Composition Operators, Valentin Matache 2017 University of Nebraska at Omaha

Nonminimal Cyclic Invariant Subspaces Of Hyperbolic Composition Operators, Valentin Matache

Mathematics Faculty Publications

Operators on function spaces acting by composition to the right with a fixed self-map ϕ are called composition operators. We denote them Cϕ. Given ϕ, a hyperbolic disc automorphism, the composition operator Cϕ on the Hilbert Hardy space H2 is considered. The bilateral cyclic invariant subspaces Kf, f ∈ H2, of Cϕ are studied, given their connection with the invariant subspace problem, which is still open for Hilbert space operators. We prove that nonconstant inner functions u induce non–minimal cyclic subspaces Ku if they have unimodular, orbital, cluster points. Other results about Ku when u is inner are obtained. If …


Integrals Of Frullani Type And The Method Of Brackets, Sergio Bravo, Ivan Gonzalez, Karen T. Kohl, Victor H. Moll 2017 Universidad Tecnica "Federico Santa Maria"

Integrals Of Frullani Type And The Method Of Brackets, Sergio Bravo, Ivan Gonzalez, Karen T. Kohl, Victor H. Moll

Faculty Publications

The method of brackets is a collection of heuristic rules, some of which have being made rigorous, that provide a flexible, direct method for the evaluation of definite integrals. The present work uses this method to establish classical formulas due to Frullani which provide values of a specific family of integrals. Some generalizations are established.
