New Operation Defined Over Dual-Hesitant Fuzzy Set And Its Application In Diagnostics In Medicine, Manar Mohamed Omran, Reham Abdel-Aziz Abo-Khadra

Journal of Engineering Research

In recent decades, several types of sets, such as fuzzy sets, interval-valued fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, type 2 fuzzy sets, type n fuzzy sets, and hesitant fuzzy sets, have been introduced and investigated widely. In this paper, we propose dual hesitant fuzzy sets (DHFSs), which encompass fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, hesitant fuzzy sets, and fuzzy multi-sets as special cases. Then we investigate the basic operations and properties of DHFSs. We also discuss the relationships among the sets mentioned above, and then propose an extension principle of DHFSs. Additionally, we give an example to illustrate …

A Comparison Of Gaussian Processes And Polynomial Chaos Emulators In The Context Of Haemodynamic Pulse–Wave Propagation Modelling, L. Mihaela Paun, Mitchel J. Colebank, Dirk Husmeier 2024 University of South Carolina

A Comparison Of Gaussian Processes And Polynomial Chaos Emulators In The Context Of Haemodynamic Pulse–Wave Propagation Modelling, L. Mihaela Paun, Mitchel J. Colebank, Dirk Husmeier

Faculty Publications

Computational modelling of the cardiovascular system is a promising future direction for patient-specific healthcare. However, the computational cost of these simulators is a bottleneck for their practical use in clinic for real-time digital twins. Emulation can overcome this, yet an extensive investigation into cardiovascular emulators is warranted. In this study, we emulate two one-dimensional haemodynamics models of the pulmonary circulation and compare two common emulation strategies: Gaussian processes (GPs) and polynomial chaos expansions (PCEs). We start by reducing the parameter space of the models through global sensitivity analysis, and then compare both emulation strategies using a multivariate, time-series output …


Stability Of Optimal Spherical Codes, Károly J. Böröczky, Alexey Glazyrin 2024 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Stability Of Optimal Spherical Codes, Károly J. Böröczky, Alexey Glazyrin

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

For many extremal configurations of points on a sphere, the linear programming approach can be used to show their optimality. In this paper we establish the general framework for showing stability of such configurations and use this framework to prove the stability of the two spherical codes formed by minimal vectors of the lattice E8 and of the Leech lattice.


Further Results On Vanishing Coefficients In The Series Expansion Of Lacunary Eta Quotients, Timothy Huber, James McLaughlin, Dongxi Ye 2024 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

Further Results On Vanishing Coefficients In The Series Expansion Of Lacunary Eta Quotients, Timothy Huber, James Mclaughlin, Dongxi Ye

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

In a previous paper the authors proved the existence of various pairs\break (A(q),B(q)) of lacunary eta quotients with identically vanishing coefficients. Further experiments indicated that the results in this previous paper were just the "tip of the iceberg". We provide a comprehensive description of what experiment suggests and employ a variety of methods to prove experimentally-derived results. The work is a template and atlas for the subsequent study of lacunary eta quotients. A broad range of proof strategies are applied to confirm the vanishing structure. These comprise a representative sample of techniques that may be used to study the remaining …

A principal objective of Part I of our investigation was to use the curated dataset to investigate …


Quantifying The Impact Of Rain-On-Snow Induced Flooding In The Western United States, Brennan Lynn Bean, Emma Watts 2024 Utah State University

Quantifying The Impact Of Rain-On-Snow Induced Flooding In The Western United States, Brennan Lynn Bean, Emma Watts

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

The potentially destructive flooding resulting from rain-on-snow (ROS) events motivates efforts to better incorporate these events and their residual effects into flood-related infrastructure design. This paper examines relationships between measured streamflow surges at streamgages across the Western United States and the meteorological conditions preceding them at SNOTEL stations within the same water catchment. Relevant stream surges are identified using a peak detection algorithm via time series analysis, which are then labeled ROS- or non-ROS-induced based on the preceding meteorological conditions. Both empirical and model-derived differences between ROS- and non-ROS-induced stream surges are then explored, which suggest that ROS-induced stream surges …

Two Is Enough, But Three (Or More) Is Better: In Ai And Beyond, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich, Victor L. Timchenko, Yury P. Kondratenko 2024 The University of Texas at El Paso

Two Is Enough, But Three (Or More) Is Better: In Ai And Beyond, Olga Kosheleva, Vladik Kreinovich, Victor L. Timchenko, Yury P. Kondratenko

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

At present, the most successful AI technique is deep learning -- the use of neural networks that consist of multiple layers. Interestingly, it is well known that neural networks with two data processing layers are sufficient -- in the sense that they can approximate any function with any given accuracy. Because of this, until reasonably recently, researchers and practitioners used such networks. However, recently it turned out, somewhat unexpectedly, that using three or more data processing layers -- i.e., using what is called deep learning -- makes the neural networks much more efficient. In this paper, on numerous examples from …

Trends In U.S. Smoking And Cessation: Insights From 2015-2022, Nhan Phan '26, Thinh Nguyen '26, Naima Shifa 2024 DePauw University

Trends In U.S. Smoking And Cessation: Insights From 2015-2022, Nhan Phan '26, Thinh Nguyen '26, Naima Shifa

Annual Student Research Poster Session

Our project focuses on analyzing trends in smoking and cessation rates among U.S. adults between 2015 and 2022, using data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). The goal of the study was to explore how key demographic factors such as age, gender, income, and education impact smoking behaviors and quitting efforts. By employing both descriptive statistics and logistic regression, we identified disparities in smoking prevalence and cessation rates across these demographic groups. The findings suggest that while smoking rates have generally declined, there remain significant differences in outcomes based on socio-demographic variables. This work provides insights that could …


Zermelo's Theorem: How To Reach A Standard Of Perfect Play In Chess, Elisha Amadasu '26 2024 DePauw University

Zermelo's Theorem: How To Reach A Standard Of Perfect Play In Chess, Elisha Amadasu '26

Annual Student Research Poster Session

Zermelo’s theorem establishes that in any two player zero-sum game with perfect information (without the element of chance), either one side can force a win regardless of how the other side plays, or both sides can force a draw (if allowed in the rules). This theorem encouraged me to see how I could better my chess to see if I could exploit the existence of this perfect standard. I considered how chess engines play, as they are currently the strongest at playing chess. I understood that they often look 60-70 moves deep from the opening stage of the game, which …

(Si13-07) Optimal Range For Value Of Two-Person Zero-Sum Game Models With Uncertain Payoffs, Sana Afreen, Ajay Kumar Bhurjee 2024 VIT Bhopal University, India

(Si13-07) Optimal Range For Value Of Two-Person Zero-Sum Game Models With Uncertain Payoffs, Sana Afreen, Ajay Kumar Bhurjee

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Game theory deals with the decision-making of individuals in conflicting situations with known payoffs. However, these payoffs are imprecisely known, which means they have uncertainty due to vagueness in the data set of most real-world problems. Therefore, we consider a two-person zero-sum game model on a larger scale where the payoffs are imprecise and lie within a closed interval. We define the pure and mixed strategy as well as value for the game models. The proposed method computes the optimal range for the value of the game model using interval analysis. To derive some important results, we establish some lemmas …

(Si13-06) Analysis Of Some Unified Integral Equations Of Fredholm Type Associated With Multivariable Incomplete H And I-Functions, Rahul Sharma, Vinod Gill, Naresh Kumar, Kanak Modi, Yudhveer Singh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this research paper, we examine various effective methods for addressing the problem of solving Fredholm-type integral equations. Our investigation commences by applying the principles of fractional calculus theory. We employ series representations and products of multivariable incomplete H-functions and multivariable incomplete I-functions to solve these integrals. The outcomes derived from our analysis possess a general nature and hold the potential to yield numerous results.


A High-Order Eulerian–Lagrangian Runge–Kutta Finite Volume (El–Rk–Fv) Method For Scalar Nonlinear Conservation Laws, Jiajie Chen, Joseph Nakao, Jing Mei Qiu, Yang Yang 2024 University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine

A High-Order Eulerian–Lagrangian Runge–Kutta Finite Volume (El–Rk–Fv) Method For Scalar Nonlinear Conservation Laws, Jiajie Chen, Joseph Nakao, Jing Mei Qiu, Yang Yang

Michigan Tech Publications

We present a class of high-order Eulerian–Lagrangian Runge–Kutta finite volume methods that can numerically solve Burgers’ equation with shock formations, which could be extended to general scalar conservation laws. Eulerian–Lagrangian (EL) and semi-Lagrangian (SL) methods have recently seen increased development and have become a staple for allowing large time-stepping sizes. Yet, maintaining relatively large time-stepping sizes post shock formation remains quite challenging. Our proposed scheme integrates the partial differential equation on a space-time region partitioned by linear approximations to the characteristics determined by the Rankine–Hugoniot jump condition. We trace the characteristics forward in time and present a merging procedure for …

A Novel Bipolar Valued Fuzzy Group Based On Dib’S Approach, Fadi Al-Zu’Bi, Abdul Ghaffur Ahmad, Abd Ulazeez Alkouri, Maslina Darus

All Works

The numerous extensions of fuzzy groups (FG) and fuzzy subgroups are complicated. Several results depending on different approaches of FG theory were introduced. This study introduces a novel extension, named bipolar-valued fuzzy groups (BVF-groups), which are based on bipolar-valued fuzzy space (BVF-space) and are created using Dib’s methodology. The BVF-space replaces the universal set in conventional set theory. The BVF-space generalizes the notion of fuzzy space (F-space) from [0, 1] to [−1, 0] × [0, 1] for the range of membership function. The novel theory of BVF-group is achieved through the BVF-space and bipolar valued binary operation (BVFBO) to build …


The P-Adic Schrödinger Equation And The Two-Slit Experiment In Quantum Mechanics, Wilson A. Zuniga-Galindo 2024 The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley

The P-Adic Schrödinger Equation And The Two-Slit Experiment In Quantum Mechanics, Wilson A. Zuniga-Galindo

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

p-Adic quantum mechanics is constructed from the Dirac-von Neumann axioms identifying quantum states with square-integrable functions on the N-dimensional p-adic space, Q_{p}^{N}. This choice is equivalent to the hypothesis of the discreteness of the space. The time is assumed to be a real variable. p-Adic quantum mechanics is the response to the question: what happens with the standard quantum mechanics if the space has a discrete nature? The time evolution of a quantum state is controlled by a nonlocal Schrödinger equation obtained from a p-adic heat equation by a temporal Wick rotation. This p-adic heat equation describes a particle performing …
