چکیده

Terminology and deenitions are proposed for the application of systems concepts to Adaptive Behavior research. The deenition of a system can be applied to agents and environments in several ambiguous ways. For this reason, a distinction is introduced between a mechanistic perspective and a functional perspective. For both perspectives a methodology is proposed for estimating the number of states of an agent, yielding the Mechanistic Epsilon State Count and the Functional Epsilon State Count, respectively. In addition , a similar means is proposed for counting the number of states required to perform a particular task in an environment: the Task Epsilon State Count. Importantly, the methodology explicitly looks for and reports the relation between the number of states and their eeect on performance. This methodology provides a uniform language to describe and compare diierent agents and environments , and for this reason it may aaord valuable comparisons between diierent Adaptive Behavior studies.

ON ($epsilon, epsilon vee q$)-FUZZY IDEALS OF BCI-ALGEBRAS

The aim of this paper is to introduce the notions of ($epsilon, epsilon vee q$)-fuzzy p-ideals, ($epsilon, epsilon vee q$)-fuzzy q-ideals and ($epsilon, epsilon vee q$)-fuzzy a-ideals in BCIalgebras and to investigate some of their properties. Several characterizationtheorems for these generalized fuzzy ideals are proved and the relationshipamong these generalized fuzzy ideals of BCI-algebras i...

GENERALIZED FUZZY POLYGROUPS

small Polygroups are multi-valued systems that satisfy group-likeaxioms. Using the notion of “belonging ($epsilon$)” and “quasi-coincidence (q)” offuzzy points with fuzzy sets, the concept of ($epsilon$, $epsilon$ $vee$ q)-fuzzy subpolygroups isintroduced. The study of ($epsilon$, $epsilon$ $vee$ q)-fuzzy normal subpolygroups of a polygroupare dealt with. Characterization and some of the fundam...

Simple Construction of a Frame which is $epsilon$-nearly Parseval and $epsilon$-nearly Unit Norm

In this paper, we will provide a simple method for starting with a given finite frame for an $n$-dimensional Hilbert space $mathcal{H}_n$ with nonzero elements and producing a frame which is $epsilon$-nearly Parseval and $epsilon$-nearly unit norm. Also, the concept of the $epsilon$-nearly equal frame operators for two given frames is presented. Moreover, we characterize all bounded invertible ...

GENERALIZATION OF ($epsilon $, $epsilon $ $vee$ q)−FUZZY SUBNEAR-RINGS AND IDEALS

In this paper, we introduce the notion of ($epsilon $, $epsilon $ $vee$ q_{k})− fuzzy subnear-ring which is a generalization of ($epsilon $, $epsilon $ $vee$ q)−fuzzy subnear-ring. We have given examples which are ($epsilon $, $epsilon $ $vee$ q_{k})−fuzzy ideals but they are not ($epsilon $, $epsilon $ $vee$ q)−fuzzy ideals. We have also introduced the notions of ($epsilon $, $epsilon $ $vee$ ...

The Effect to Epsilon Phase on the Friction and Wear of Nitrided Die Steels (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this paper, the wear resistance and antifriction of epsilon phase layer and diffusion layer of gas nitrided D2 steel and M2 steel have been studied. The changes m wear mechanism of epsilon phase under the load from 20N to 200N are analysed. When the load is lighter than 100N, it is mainly oxidizing wear on friction surface. The adhesion, peeling off and abrasive wear appear on friction surfa...
