This paper presents a general framework for understanding precedence-based memory models, which are generalizations of standard multiprocessor models. Precedence-based models need not mention processes explicitly, and can express any conditions that rely only on some operations being required to precede other operations. We deene a generalized notion of sequential consistency and per-location s...

in this paper, we consider first-order fuzzy differential equations with initial value conditions. the convergence, consistency and stability of difference method for approximating the solution of fuzzy differential equations involving generalized h-differentiability, are studied. then the local truncation error is defined and sufficient conditions for convergence, consistency and stability of ...

Deriving the analytical structure of fuzzy controllers is very important as it creates a solid foundation for better understanding, insightful analysis, and more e1ective design of fuzzy control systems. We previously developed a technique for deriving the analytical structure of the fuzzy controllers that use Zadeh fuzzy AND operator and the symmetric, identical trapezoidal or triangular input...

Variable selection via penalized estimation is appealing for dimension reduction. For penalized linear regression, Efron, et al. (2004) introduced the LARS algorithm. Recently, the coordinate descent (CD) algorithm was developed by Friedman, et al. (2007) for penalized linear regression and penalized logistic regression and was shown to gain computational superiority. This paper explores...

A Non-binary Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) can be solved by converting the problem into an equivalent binary one and applying well-established binary CSP techniques. An alternative way is to use extended versions of binary techniques directly on the non-binary problem. There are two well-known computational methods in the literature for translating a non-binary CSP to an equivalent bina...

‎the aim of this paper is to study distribution of ratios of generalized order statistics from pareto distribution. parameter estimation of pareto distribution based on generalized order statistics and ratios of them have been obtained. inferences using method of moments and unbiased estimator have been obtained to develop point estimations. consistency of unbiased estimator has been illustrate...

One of the key research interests in the area of Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is to identify tractable classes of constraints and develop efficient solutions for them. In this paper, we introduce generalized staircase (GS) constraints which is an important generalization of one such tractable class found in the literature, namely, staircase constraints. GS constraints are of two kinds,...

In this paper, we propose a comprehensive study of second-order consistencies (i.e., consistencies identifying inconsistent pairs of values) for constraint satisfaction. We build a full picture of the relationships existing between four basic second-order consistencies, namely path consistency (PC), 3-consistency (3C), dual consistency (DC) and 2-singleton arc consistency (2SAC), as well as the...
