We survey some of the topological properties of the attractors of iterated function systems such as connectedness, arcwise connectedness and locally arcwise connectedness. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the attractors of finite iterated function system (IFS) to be a connected sets and in the case when infinite iterated function systems (IIFS) are considered we give only some su...

Firm-customer digital connectedness for effective sensing and responding is a strategic imperative for contemporary competitive firms. This research-in-progress paper conceptualizes and operationalizes the firm-customer mobile digital connectedness of a smart-mobile customer. The empirical investigation focuses on mobile app users and the impact of mobile apps on customer expectations. Based on...

Connectedness of efficient solutions is a powerful property in multiple objective combinatorial optimization since it allows the construction of the complete efficient set using neighborhood search techniques. In this paper we show that, however, most of the classical multiple objective combinatorial optimization problems do not possess the connectedness property in general, including, among ot...

Research with Native Americans has identified connectedness as a culturally based protective factor against substance abuse and suicide. Connectedness refers to the interrelated welfare of the individual, one's family, one's community, and the natural environment. We developed an 18-item quantitative assessment of awareness of connectedness and tested it with 284 Alaska Native youth. Evaluation...

Our point of departure is business network dynamics and the phenomenon of mergers and acquisitions. We discuss both structural and temporal connectedness of business nets, where the merging firms are embedded in. Depending on the degree of structural connectedness (or overlapping) which can also be discussed with the help of position concept, the merger or acquisition will bring about more or l...

This paper studies connectedness of Goetschel–Voxman fuzzy matroids (briefly, G–V fuzzy matroids), an analog of connectedness of crisp finite matroids. Based on the results of fuzzy circuits given by Goetschel and Voxman, the transitivity theorem concerning fuzzy circuits of G–V fuzzy matroids is established, and thus the useful notion of refined G–V fuzzy matroid is introduced. The connectedne...

let $r$ be a commutative ring. in this paper, by using algebraic properties of $r$, we study the hase digraph of prime ideals of $r$.

Seven experiments investigated whether part connectedness would facilitate the perception of spatial relations among object parts. Experiments 1-4 showed that objects composed of connected parts are easier to distinguish from distractors in rapid serial visual presentation sequences than objects composed of separated parts and that this effect cannot be attributed to the presence of local featu...

Companies are increasingly adopting social software to support collaboration and networking. Although increasing their employees’ connectedness is a major driver for organizations to deploy enterprise social software (ESS), the social connectedness concept itself is still not sufficiently defined and conceptualized. The study therefore provides a richer perspective on social connectedness’s rol...
