In this note, we consider a generalized Fibonacci sequence fung : Then give a generating matrix for the terms of sequence fukng for a positive integer k: With the aid of this matrix, we derive some new combinatorial identites for the sequence fukng.

We introduce a new proof procedure for abductive logic programming and prove two soundness results. Our procedure extends that of Fung and Kowalski by integrating abductive reasoning with constraint solving and by relaxing the restrictions on allowed inputs for which the procedure can operate correctly. An implementation of our proof procedure is available and has been applied successfully in t...

We present a self-tuning scheme for adapting the parameters of a proportional integral (PI) controller proposed by Fung and Yang for stabilization of a Culick-type model of nonlinear acoustic oscillations in combustion chambers. Our adaptation criterion is Lyapunov-based and its objective is the regulation of nonlinear pressure oscillations to zero. We focus on a two-mode model and first develo...

A no vel series of co mplexes of the type [M(C28H24N4)X]X2, where M = Cr(III), Fe(III) or Mn(III), X = Cl−, NO3, CH3COO and (C28H24N4) corresponds to the tetradentate macrocyclic ligand, were synthesized in methanolic media by the template condensation of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene and 2,3-butanedione (diacetyl) in the presence of trivalent metal salts. The complexes were characterized by elemental...

Experiments have shown that shear waves induced in brain tissue can develop into shock waves, thus providing a possible explanation of deep traumatic injuries. Here, we study the formation soft viscoelastic solids subject to an imposed velocity at their boundary. We consider plane shearing motion semi-infinite half-space, which corresponds spatially one-dimensional problem. Incompressible whose...

This paper offers a reappraisal of Fung's model for quasi-linear viscoelasticity. It is shown that a number of negative features exhibited in other works, commonly attributed to the Fung approach, are merely a consequence of the way it has been applied. The approach outlined herein is shown to yield improved behaviour and offers a straightforward scheme for solving a wide range of models. Resul...
