We prove that no triangular frame can hold a convex body, and a convex body can pass through a triangular hole ∆ if and only if the convex body can be congruently embedded in a right triangular prism with base ∆. Applying these result, we prove that a regular tetrahedron of unit edge can pass through an equilateral triangular hole if and only if the edge length of the hole is at least (1 + √ 2)...

The Archimedean components of triangular norms (which turn the closed unit interval into an abelian, totally ordered semigroup with neutral element 1) are studied, in particular their extension to triangular norms, and some construction methods for Archimedean components are given. The triangular norms which are uniquely determined by their Archimedean components are characterized. Using ordina...

We discuss theoretical aspects of the self-assembly of triangular tiles, in particular, right triangular tiles and equilateral triangular tiles, and the self-assembly of hexagonal tiles. We show that triangular tile assembly systems and square tile assembly systems cannot be simulated by each other in a non-trivial way. More precisely, there exists a deterministic square (hexagonal) tile assemb...

Given a graph G, its triangular line graph is the graph T (G) with vertex set consisting of the edges of G and adjacencies between edges that are incident in G as well as being within a common triangle. Graphs with a representation as the triangular line graph of some graph G are triangular line graphs, which have been studied under many names including anti-Gallai graphs, 2-in-3 graphs, and li...

As an special intuitionistic fuzzy set defined on the real number set, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN) is a fundamental tool for quantifying an ill-known quantity. In order to model the decision maker's overall preference with mandatory requirements, it is necessary to develop some Bonferroni harmonic mean operators for TIFNs which can be used to effectively intergrate the informa...

ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in linguistic decision making and other fuzzy application systems. in spite of many ranking methods, no one can rank fuzzy numbers with human intuition consistently in all cases. shortcoming are found in some of the convenient methods for ranking triangular fuzzy numbers such as the coefficient of variation (cv index), distance between fuzzy set...

In this paper we describe the generation of all nonorientable triangular embeddings of the complete graphs K12 and K13. (The 59 nonisomorphic orientable triangular embeddings of K12 were found in 1996 by Altshuler, Bokowski and Schuchert, and K13 has no orientable triangular embeddings.) There are 182, 200 nonisomorphic nonorientable triangular embeddings for K12, and 243, 088, 286 for K13. Tri...

We prove an embedding theorem that says a convex body can pass through a triangular hole∆ if and only if the convex body can be congruently embedded in a right triangular prism with base ∆. Combining this with a known result on congruent embeddings of a regular tetrahedron in a triangular prism, we show that a regular tetrahedron with unit edge can pass through an equilateral triangular hole in...

There have been few descriptions of the site of attachment onto the triquetrum, the so-called meniscal homologue, of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC). We have investigated the sites of attachment onto the triquetrum of 87 TFCCs collected from embalmed cadavers. All TFCCs were smoothly attached to the triquetrum. In 79 (46 cases, 90%) they were attached to the triquetrum and fifth me...

in this paper, a new design of optical channel drop filter based on two- dimensional photonic crystal ring resonators with triangular lattice is proposed. the rods of this structure is silicon with the refractive index nsi=3.46 and the surrounding environment is air with the refractive index of nair=1.the widest photonic band gap obtains for the filling ratio of r/a = 0.2. the filter’s transmis...
