The sintering process is an important step in the iron and steel making process and features strong complexity, nonlinearity and large time-delay. This paper presents a coordinating control method that two fuzzy controllers are designed to control the burning through point (BTP) and the bunker-level. First, the BTP control is the main control task with the sinter strand speed as the control var...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study the concepts of intuitionistic fuzzy almost weakly generalized closed mappings and intuitionistic fuzzy almost weakly generalized open mappings in intuitionistic fuzzy topological space. Some of their properties are explored.

this paper focuses on the non-fragile guaranteed cost control problem for a class of t-s fuzzy time-varying delay systems with local bilinear models. the objective is to design a non-fragile guaranteed cost state feedback controller via the parallel distributed compensation (pdc) approach such that the closed-loop system is delay-dependent asymptotically stable and the closed-loop performance i...

The aim of this paper is to give insight into the behaviour of inequivalent representations of 3{connected matroids. An element x of a matroid M is xed if there is no extension M 0 of M by an element x 0 such that fx;x 0 g is independent and M 0 is unaltered by swapping the labels on x and x 0. When x is xed, a representation of M nx extends in at most one way to a representation of M. A 3{conn...

In this paper we consider the problem of finding the densest subset subject to co-matroid constraints. We are given a monotone supermodular set function f defined over a universe U , and the density of a subset S is defined to be f(S)/|S|. This generalizes the concept of graph density. Co-matroid constraints are the following: given matroid M a set S is feasible, iff the complement of S is inde...

The notions of a bipolar fuzzy regularity, a bipolar fuzzy regular subalgebra, a bipolar fuzzy filter, and a bipolar fuzzy closed quasi filter in BCH-algebras are introduced, and several properties are investigated. A characterization of a bipolar fuzzy filter is provided. Mathematics Subject Classification: 06F35, 03G25, 08A72

One may regard vectors in a finite dimensional vector space as being linear forms in a polynomial ring in an obvious way. A collection of linear forms satisfying various linear dependence relations can become independent when each of the forms is raised to the k-th power. In this paper we prove that a certain class of matroids satisfies a " higher order " independence property of this kind. The...

This article studies the girth and cogirth problems for a connected matroid. The problem of finding the cogirth of a graphic matroid has been intensively studied, but studies on the equivalent problem for a vector matroid or a general matroid have been rarely reported. Based on the duality and connectivity of a matroid, we prove properties associated with the girth and cogirth of a matroid whos...
