Linearization and planarization of the circuit models is pivotal to the submicron technologies. On the other hand, the characteristics of the VLSI circuits can be sometimes improved by using the multivalued components. It was shown that any `-level circuit based on the multivalued components is representable as an algebraic model based on ` linear arithmetic polynomials mapped correspondingly i...

Finding optimal operating modes for bioprocesses has been, for a long time, a relevant issue in bioengineering. The problem is of special interest when it implies the simultaneous optimization of competing objectives. In this paper, we address the problem of finding optimal steady states that achieve the best tradeoff between yield and productivity by using nonmodel-based extremum-seeking contr...

In this paper, we would like to give Dempster and Shafer's belief function theory an interpretation based on probabilistic multivalued random vari-ables(PMRV). While a random variable is a function from the sample space to the target space, a PMRV maps each point in the sample space to a probability distribution on the target one. By such interpretation , the belief and plausibility measures ar...

We study multivalued dependencies, as well as the propositional formulas whose deduction calculus parallels that of multivalued dependencies, and the variant known as degenerated multivalued dependencies. For each of these sorts of expressions, we provide intrinsic characterizations in purely semantic terms. They naturally generalize similar properties of functional dependencies or Horn clauses.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of general fuzzy multivalued variational inclusions and to study the existence problem and the iterative approximation problem for certain fuzzy multivalued variational inclusions in Banach spaces. Using the resolvent operator technique and a new analytic technique, some existence theorems and iterative approximation techniques are presented...

Recently, Bucur, Guran and Petruşel presented some results on fixed point of multivalued operators on generalized metric spaces which extended some old fixed point theorems to the multivalued case ([1]). In this paper, we shall give some results on fixed points of multivalued operators on ordered generalized metric spaces by providing different conditions in respect to [1].

Discovery of multivalued dependencies from database relations is viewed as a search in a hypothesis space de ned according to the generalisation relationship among multivalued dependencies Two algorithms for the dis covery of multivalued dependencies from relations are presented The top down algorithm enumerates the hypotheses from the most general to more speci c hypotheses which are checked o...

In this paper, a new segmentation technique for multivalued images is elaborated. The technique accesses multiscale edge information of a multivalued image by a concept, called multiscale fundamental form. At different scales, an edge map of the multivalued images is obtained, at which a watershed-based algorithm is applied. The multiscale behavior of the obtained watershed regions is employed ...

Without incorporation of weak-shock theory, the lossless Burgers equation predicts a multivalued waveform for nonlinear propagation beyond a certain distance. Inclusion of thermoviscous attenuation, which increases quadratically with frequency, prevents the occurrence of multivalued waveforms. The same is true for any attenuation law that is proportional to frequency raised to an exponent great...
