Perspectival utterances are analyzed within Situation Semantics framework. Perspectival expressions are expressions speakers use when they describe facts from certain standpoints within their environments. Uses of perspecti-val expressions have two significant characteristics , bi-directional contextual dependency, and perspectivity transfer. Relational conception of meaning and mental states c...

Fuzzy-model-based (FMB) control approach provides a systematic and effective way to control nonlinear systems. It has been shown by various applications (Lam et al., 1998; Lian et al., 2006; (b)Tanaka et al., 1998) that FMB control approach performs superior to some traditional control approaches. Based on the T-S fuzzy model (Sugeno & Kang, 1988; Takagi & Sugeno, 1985) the system dynamics of t...

We prove a sharp lower bound for the Tanaka–Webster holomorphic sectional curvature of strictly pseudoconvex real hypersurfaces that are “semi-isometrically” immersed in Kähler manifold nonnegative under an appropriate

For submanifolds tangent to the structure vector field in Sasakian space forms, we establish a Chen’s basic inequality between the main intrinsic invariants of the submanifold namely, its pseudosectional curvature and pseudosectional curvature on one side and the main extrinsic invariant namely, squared pseudomean curvature on the other side with respect to the TanakaWebster connection. Moreove...

Micromechanics models for the stiffness of aligned short-fiber composites are reviewed and evaluated. These include the dilute model based on Eshelby’s equivalent inclusion, the self-consistent model for finite-length fibers, Mori-Tanaka type models, bounding models, the Halpin-Tsai equation and its extensions, and shear lag models. Several models are found to be equivalent to the Mori-Tanaka a...

Following a hedging based approach to model free financial mathematics, we prove that it should be possible to make an arbitrarily large profit by investing in those one-dimensional paths which do not possess local times. The local time is constructed from discrete approximations, and it is shown that it is α-Hölder continuous for all α < 1/2. Additionally, we provide various generalizations of...

We build a variational theory of geodesics of the Tanaka-Webster connection ∇ on a strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold M . Given a contact form θ on M such that (M, θ) has nonpositive pseudohermitian sectional curvature (kθ(σ) ≤ 0) we show that (M, θ) has no horizontally conjugate points. Moreover, if (M, θ) is a Sasakian manifold such that kθ(σ) ≥ k0 > 0 then we show that the distance between an...

This paper investigates the question of whether a key agreement protocol with the same communication complexity as the original Diffie-Hellman protocol (DHP) (two messages with a single group element per message), and similar low computational overhead, can achieve forward secrecy against active attackers in a provable way. We answer this question in the affirmative by resorting to an old and e...
