Let X be a subset of an abelian group and a1, . . . , ah, a ′ 1 , . . . , a h a sequence of 2h elements of X such that a1 + · · ·+ah = a ′ 1 + · · ·+a h . The set X is a Sidon set of order h if, after renumbering, ai = a ′ i for i = 1, . . . , h. For k ≤ h, the set X is a generalized Sidon set of order (h, k), if, after renumbering, ai = a ′ i for i = 1, . . . , k. It is proved that if X is a g...

a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of lower cut sets are given for the insertion of a $gamma-$continuous function between two comparable real-valued functions.

Apparent shear stress acting on a vertical interface between the main channel and floodplain in a compound channel serves to quantify the momentum transfer between sub sections of this cross section. In this study, three soft computing methods are used to simulate apparent shear stress in prismatic compound channels. The Genetic Algorithm Artificial neural network (GAA), Genetic Programming (GP...

We show there exists a continuous compactly supported function ' de ned on the reals satsifying '(x) = c0'(2x) + c1'(2x 1) + c2'(2x 2) if and only if c1 = 1, c0 + c2 = 1, and jc0j; jc2j < 1. The functions ' are examples of scaling functions from the theory of wavelets. x

Monitoring System has been forthcoming (see March 1996 Colorado Dairy News). Although Colorado was not one of the states sampled. The results on a regional and national basis provide our producers with thoughtprovoking information. The Colorado Dairy News will feature topics from this study in this and future issues. We appreciate the assistance of Dr Scott Wells and his associates at NAHMS wit...

A computational study of the electronic structure and stability of complexes formed between Zeolite Y and boric acid was carried out at the HF and B3LYP levels using 6-31G* basis set. Five structures located as local minimum in PES of complex (structures d, e, f, g, and h). The most stable structure is formed due to hydrogen bonding between two hydroxyl of boric acid and both oxygen of ...

‎‎In this paper‎, ‎we define fuzzy subnexuses over a nexus $N$‎. ‎Define and study the notions of the prime fuzzy subnexuses and the fractions‎‎induced by them‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎we show that if S is a meet‎‎closed subset of the set Fsub(N), ‎of fuzzy subnexuses of a nexus N‎, ‎and‎‎h= ⋀S ϵ S, ‎then the fractions S^-1 N and h^-1 N are isomorphic as meet-semilattices‎.
