different methods arising from scientific investigation for removing noise from chaotic signals have been introduced and one of their best is local projection approach. the local projection approach projects the chaotic data in the neighborhood onto the hyper-plane. selection of neighborhood radius has a direct impact on its performance. a noticeable feature associated with chaotic trajectories...

development, a concept that is called often to process of moving from point to another that covers various aspects such as economic growth, structural change, industrialization, self-actualization and cultural, religious, national and individual self-reliance. a sustainable development is a new concept of economic growth. a growth that is as justice and opportunity for all people that living in...

We analyze the dynamics of a two-dimensional cellular automaton, 2D Minority, for the Moore neighborhood (eight neighbors per cell) under fully asynchronous dynamics (where only one random cell updates at each time step). Even if 2D Minority seems a simple rule, from the experience of Ising models and Hopfield nets, it is known that models with negative feedback are hard to study. This automato...

In this paper, an effective approach based on the variable neighborhood search (VNS) algorithm is presented to solve the uncapacitated multilevel lot-sizing (MLLS) problems with component commonality and multiple end-items. A neighborhood structure for the MLLS problem is defined, and two kinds of solution move policies, i.e., move at first improvement (MAFI) and move at best improvement (MABI)...

The paper presents the dynamics of consumer preferences over two competing products acting in duopoly market. The model presented compared the majority and minority rules as well as the modified Snazjd model in the Von Neumann neighborhood. We showed how important advertising in marketing a product is. We show that advertising should also consider the social structure simultaneously with the co...

This paper will remind the reader of neighborhood semantics for modal logics, compare them with relational semantics, and then look at some questions about neighborhood semantics that have been answered, and some which are still open. We will then introduce “ultrafilter semantics,” a way of expressing all sets over a canonical frame in an ‘effable’ way. This provides us with a conceptually easy...

A subgraph of an edge-coloured graph is rainbow if all of its edges have different colours. For graphs G and H the anti-Ramsey number ar(G,H) is the maximum number of colours in an edge-colouring of G with no rainbow copy of H. The notion was introduced by Erdős, Simonovits and V. Sós and studied in case G = Kn. Afterwards exact values or bounds for anti-Ramsey numbers ar(Kn, H) were establishe...
