Symbolic Hyperplithogenic Set, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache 2025 University of New Mexico

Symbolic Hyperplithogenic Set, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Concepts such as Fuzzy Sets, Neutrosophic Sets, and Plithogenic Sets have been widely investigated for tackling uncertainty, with numerous applications explored across various domains. As extensions of the Plithogenic Set, the HyperPlithogenic Set and the SuperHyperPlithogenic Set are also recognized. A Symbolic Plithogenic Set (SPS) is a structured set defined by symbolic components 𝑃𝑖 and coefficients 𝑎𝑖 , enabling flexible algebraic operations under a specified prevalence order. In this paper, we examine concepts including the Symbolic HyperPlithogenic Set and the Symbolic 𝑛-SuperhyperPlithogenic Set.

Some Types Of Hyperneutrosophic Set (4): Cubic, Trapozoidal, Q-Rung Orthopair, Overset, Underset, And Offset, Florentin Smarandache, Takaaki Fujita

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

This paper builds upon the foundational work presented in [38–40]. The Neutrosophic Set provides a comprehensive mathematical framework for managing uncertainty, defined by three membership functions: truth, indeterminacy, and falsity. Recent advancements have introduced extensions such as the Hyperneutrosophic Set and the SuperHyperneutrosophic Set, which are specifically designed to address increasingly complex and multidimensional problems. The formal definitions of these sets are available in [30]. In this paper, we extend the Neutrosophic Cubic Set, Trapezoidal Neutrosophic Set, q-Rung Orthopair Neutrosophic Set, Neutrosophic Overset, Neutrosophic Underset, and Neutrosophic Offset using the frameworks of the Hyperneutrosophic Set and the SuperHyperneutrosophic Set. Furthermore, …

Some Types Of Hyperneutrosophic Set (3): Dynamic, Quadripartitioned, Pentapartitioned, Heptapartitioned, M-Polar, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

This paper builds upon the foundation established in [50, 51]. The Neutrosophic Set provides a robust mathematical framework for handling uncertainty, defined by three membership functions: truth, indeterminacy, and falsity. Recent developments have introduced extensions such as the Hyperneutrosophic Set and SuperHyperneutrosophic Set to tackle increasingly complex and multidimensional problems. In this study, we explore further extensions, including the Dynamic Neutrosophic Set, Quadripartitioned Neutrosophic Set, Pentapartitioned Neutrosophic Set, Heptapartitioned Neutrosophic Set, and m-Polar Neutrosophic Set, to address advanced challenges and applications.


Plithogenic Duplets And Plithogenic Triplets, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache 2025 University of New Mexico

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.

Some Types Of Hyperneutrosophic Set (2): Complex, Single-Valued Triangular, Fermatean, And Linguistic Sets, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

This paper is a continuation of the work presented in [35]. The Neutrosophic Set provides a mathematical framework for managing uncertainty, characterized by three membership functions: truth, indeterminacy, and falsity. Recent advancements have introduced extensions such as the Hyperneutrosophic Set and SuperHyperneutrosophic Set to address more complex and multidimensional challenges. In this study, we extend the Complex Neutrosophic Set, Single-Valued Triangular Neutrosophic Set, Fermatean Neutrosophic Set, and Linguistic Neutrosophic Set within the frameworks of Hyperneutrosophic Sets and SuperHyperneutrosophic Sets. Furthermore, we investigate their mathematical structures and analyze their connections with other set-theoretic concepts.

Abstractions Of The Game “Set”, Martin Grant

Master's Projects

Each card in the game of SET can be represented as a point in Z43, where Z3 is the f ield of 3 elements; an in-game position without any SETs can be represented as a cap set. We find the largest cap sets in Zn 3 for n ≤ 4 and prove their uniqueness. Then, we provide more insight into Ellenberg and Gijswijt’s proof of upper bound for the maximum size of cap set in Fnq, where Fq is the field of q elements, which they find to be o(cn …

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 …

Sigma_N-Correct Forcing Axioms, Benjamin P. Goodman 2024 CUNY Graduate Center

Sigma_N-Correct Forcing Axioms, Benjamin P. Goodman

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

I introduce a new family of axioms extending ZFC set theory, the Sigma_n-correct forcing axioms. These assert roughly that whenever a forcing name a' can be forced by a poset in some forcing class Gamma to have some Sigma_n property phi which is provably preserved by all further forcing in Gamma, then a' reflects to some small name such that there is already in V a filter which interprets that small name so that phi holds. Sigma_1-correct forcing axioms turn out to be equivalent to classical forcing axioms, while Sigma_2-correct forcing axioms for Sigma_2-definable forcing classes are consistent relative to …


Largeness And Accessibility Of Sparse Sets, Oscar Quester 2024 Bridgewater State University

Largeness And Accessibility Of Sparse Sets, Oscar Quester

Honors Program Theses and Projects

One of the main goals in the study of Ramsey Theory is to find “order” in seemingly “random” structures. For example, Van der Waerden’s Theorem tells us that given any r-coloring of the positive integers, there will exist arbitrarily long monochromatic arithmetic progressions. The theorem places no requirement on the gap (common difference), d, of the arithmetic progression – it can be any natural number. With this in mind, we ask if we are still guaranteed arbitrarily long monochromatic arithmetic progressions when we restrict the possible values of d to some subset D ⊆ N. We also ask a similar …


Fundamental Computational Problems And Algorithms For Superhypergraphs, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache 2024 University of New Mexico

Fundamental Computational Problems And Algorithms For Superhypergraphs, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Hypergraphs extend traditional graphs by allowing edges (known as hyperedges) to connect more than two vertices, rather than just pairs. This paper explores fundamental problems and algorithms in the context of SuperHypergraphs, an advanced extension of hypergraphs enabling modeling of hierarchical and complex relationships. Topics covered include constructing SuperHyperGraphs, recognizing SuperHyperTrees, and computing SuperHyperTree-width. We address a range of optimization problems, such as the SuperHy-pergraph Partition Problem, Reachability, Minimum Spanning SuperHypertree, and Single-Source Shortest Path. Furthermore, adaptations of classical problems like the Traveling Salesman Problem, Chinese Postman Problem, and Longest Simple Path Problem are presented in the SuperHypergraph framework.


Survey Of Planar And Outerplanar Graphs In Fuzzy And Neutrosophic Graphs, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache 2024 University of New Mexico

Survey Of Planar And Outerplanar Graphs In Fuzzy And Neutrosophic Graphs, Takaaki Fujita, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

As many readers may know, graph theory is a fundamental branch of mathematics that explores networks made up of nodes and edges, focusing on their paths, structures, and properties [196]. A planar graph is one that can be drawn on a plane without any edges intersecting, ensuring planarity. Outerplanar graphs, a subset of planar graphs, have all their vertices located on the boundary of the outer face in their planar embedding. In recent years, outerplanar graphs have been formally defined within the context of fuzzy graphs. To capture uncertain parameters and concepts, various graphs such as fuzzy, neutrosophic, Turiyam, and …

Following our preceding article, where we discussed alternative interpretations of the advanced perihelion of Mercury, the present article revisits the 1919 solar eclipse expedition led by Arthur Eddington, which famously provided the first observational confirmation of Einstein's theory of general relativity. We focus on the deflection of starlight data obtained during the eclipse, a cornerstone of this validation. Here, we explore three alternative explanations for the observed light bending that challenge the sole attribution to general relativity. Firstly, the paper begins by arguing based on criticisms raised by Tullio Levi-Civita, a contemporary mathematician, regarding Einstein's use of pseudo-tensors in his …
