Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Coping with uncertainty in dynamical systems has recently received some attention in artiicial intelligence (AI), particularly in the elds of qualitative and model-based reasoning. In this paper, we propose an approach to modelling and simulation of uncertain dynamics which is based on the following ideas: We consider (linguistic) descriptions of ...

We define the local trace function for subspaces of L (Rn) which are invariant under integer translation. Our trace function contains the dimension function and the spectral function defined in [BoRz] and completely characterizes the given translation invariant subspace. It has properties such as positivity, additivity, monotony and some form of continuity. It behaves nicely under dilations and...

Cancers cells change their mechanical properties to migrate through crowded multicellular environments. Metastatic cells’ traction forces have been shown increase substantially relative those of non-metastatic cells, and this contractility is further increased by matrix stiffening, promoting tumor phenotypes. These findings suggest a relationship between cell contractility, microenvironment sti...
