Generating Sets of Mathieu Groups

Cayley graphs formed by conjugate generating sets of Sn

We investigate subsets of the symmetric group with structure similar to that of a graph. The “trees” of these subsets correspond to minimal conjugate generating sets of the symmetric group. There are two main theorems in this paper. The first is a characterization of minimal conjugate generating sets of Sn. The second is a generalization of a result due to Feng characterizing the automorphism g...

Finite Groups With a Certain Number of Elements Pairwise Generating a Non-Nilpotent Subgroup

Irredundant Generating Sets of Finite Nilpotent Groups

It is a standard fact of linear algebra that all bases of a vector space have the same cardinality, namely the dimension of the vector space over its base field. If we treat a vector space as an additive abelian group, then this is equivalent to saying that an irredundant generating set for a vector space must have cardinality equal to the dimension of the vector space. The same is not true for...

The generation of fuzzy sets and the~construction of~characterizing functions of~fuzzy data

Measurement results contain different kinds of uncertainty. Besides systematic errors andrandom errors individual measurement results are also subject to another type of uncertainty,so-called emph{fuzziness}. It turns out that special fuzzy subsets of the set of real numbers $RR$are useful to model fuzziness of measurement results. These fuzzy subsets $x^*$ are called emph{fuzzy numbers}. The m...

Generating Discrete Trace Transition System of a Polyhe-dral Invariant Hybrid Automaton

Supervisory control and fault diagnosis of hybrid systems need to have complete information about the discrete states transitions of the underling system. From this point of view, the hybrid system should be abstracted to a Discrete Trace Transition System (DTTS) and represented by a discrete mode transition graph. In this paper an effective method is proposed for generating discrete mode trans...
