small polygroups are multi-valued systems that satisfy group-likeaxioms. using the notion of “belonging ($epsilon$)” and “quasi-coincidence (q)” offuzzy points with fuzzy sets, the concept of ($epsilon$, $epsilon$ $vee$ q)-fuzzy subpolygroups isintroduced. the study of ($epsilon$, $epsilon$ $vee$ q)-fuzzy normal subpolygroups of a polygroupare dealt with. characterization and some of the fundam...

In order to extend the use of Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) to commercial applications, it is necessary to provide a mechanism to integrate this kind of networks into the Internet. In this way, MANETs could be utilized in visiting theme parks, commercial centers and military scenarios. The interconnection of MANETs and the Internet is supported by a Gateway. The gateway is responsible for info...

The purpose of this study is to build an automatic disease classification system using pulse waveform analysis, based on a Fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm. A self designed three-axis mechanism was used to detect the optimal site to accurately measure the pressure pulse waveform (PPW). Considering the artery as a cylinder, the sensor should detect the PPW with the lowest possible distortion a...

Preliminary note The main goal of each technologist is the prediction of technological parameters by fulfilling the set design and technological demands. The work of the technologist is made easier by acquired knowledge and previous experience. A plan of input-output data was made by using the hybrid system of modelling ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) based on the results of seam ...

Drilling is an hole making process in metal cutting operation performed by extrusion which finds wide application in various industries for manufacturing components using metals and non metals. This process is applied widely in assembly of components or elements, where processing challenges are severe issue such as to maintain surface integrity, ovality, machining time, Metal Removal Rate etc.,...

This study compares muscle fiber conduction velocities during isometric maximal voluntary contraction in different degrees of diabetic neuropathy classified by a fuzzy expert model. Sixty-seven diabetic patients of both sexes were classified by a fuzzy expert system in four groups according to the neuropathy degree: absent, mild, moderate and severe. Average muscle fiber conduction velocities o...

in a fuzzy metric space (x;m; *), where * is a continuous t-norm,a locally fuzzy contraction mapping is de ned. it is proved that any locally fuzzy contraction mapping is a global fuzzy contractive. also, if f satis es the locally fuzzy contractivity condition then it satis es the global fuzzy contrac-tivity condition.

a‎s we know, developing mathematical models and numerical procedures that would appropriately treat and solve systems of linear equations where some of the system's parameters are proposed as fuzzy numbers is very important in fuzzy set theory. for this reason, many researchers have used various numerical methods to solve fuzzy linear systems. in this paper, we define the concepts of midpoint a...

Ti6Al4V alloy is highly used in the automotive and aerospace industry due to its good machining characteristics. Micro EDM drilling is commonly used to drill micro hole on extremely hard material with very high depth to diameter ratio. In this study, the parameters of micro-electrical discharge machining (EDM) in drilling of Ti6Al4V alloy is optimized for higher machining accuracy with less hol...

Diameter—the task of computing the length of a longest shortest path—is a fundamental graph problem. Assuming the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis, there is no O(n)time algorithm even in sparse graphs [Roditty and Williams, 2013]. To circumvent this lower bound we aim for algorithms with running time f(k)(n+m) where k is a parameter and f is a function as small as possible. For our choices of...
