Group Theory, L-systems, and African Rhythmic Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Much of music structure might appropriately be viewed as auralized mathematics. African and African Diasporic music traditions are areas of untapped potential for exploring this notion, particularly with respect to the ways in which the elements of pulse, cycle, and subpulse are manipulated in complex rhythmic structures. In this paper, we describe our preliminary investigations into the use of group actions and L-systems to generate rhythms based upon the Agbekor bell pattern, a rhythmic structure used in Ewe music and found in many parts of Africa and the African Diaspora.

Further study on $L$-fuzzy Q-convergence structures
In this paper, we discuss the equivalent conditions of pretopological and topological $L$-fuzzy Q-convergence structures and define $T_{0},~T_{1},~T_{2}$-separation axioms in $L$-fuzzy Q-convergence space. {Furthermore, $L$-ordered Q-convergence structure is introduced and its relation with $L$-fuzzy Q-convergence structure is studied in a categorical sense}.
متن کاملConvex structures via convex $L$-subgroups of an $L$-ordered group
In this paper, we first characterize the convex $L$-subgroup of an $L$-ordered group by means of fourkinds of cut sets of an $L$-subset. Then we consider the homomorphic preimages and the product of convex $L$-subgroups.After that, we introduce an $L$-convex structure constructed by convex $L$-subgroups.Furthermore, the notion of the degree to which an $L$-subset of an $L$-ord...
متن کاملPARAMETRIC STUDY ON RAILWAY FASTENING SYSTEM RESPONSE SUBJECTED TO DIFFERENT AXLE LOAD
There are several factors causing fastening systems to deteriorate faster than the designed life. The high repetitive loads from a moving train being one of the main factors, track irregularities, design and installation defects of track components, non-uniform rail support stiffness, unevenness in the rail seat deterioration are some of the factors causing fastenings systems to deteriorate fas...
متن کاملLatency Compensation in Multi Chaotic Systems Using the Extended OGY Control Method
The problem discussed in this paper is the effect of latency time on the OGY chaos control methodology in multi chaotic systems. The Smith predictor, rhythmic and memory strategies are embedded in the OGY chaos control method to encounter loop latency. A comparison study is provided and the advantages of the Smith predictor approach are clearly evident from the closed loop responses. The comple...
