The weighted semigroup algebra Mb (S, w) is studied via its identification with Mb (S) together with a weighted algebra product *w so that (Mb (S, w), *) is isometrically isomorphic to (Mb (S), *w). This identification enables us to study the relation between regularity and amenability of Mb (S, w) and Mb (S), and improve some old results from discrete to general case.

Fuzzy bi-ideals play an important role in the study of ordered semigroupstructures. The purpose of this paper is to initiate and study theintiuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideals in ordered semigroups and investigate thebasic theorem of intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideals. To provide thecharacterizations of regular ordered semigroups in terms of intuitionisticfuzzy bi-ideals and to discuss the relationships ...

The dual generalized order statistics is a unified model which contains the well known decreasingly ordered random data such as (reversed ordered) order statistics and lower record values. In the present paper, some characterization results on the power function distribution based on the properties of dual generalized order statistics are provided. The results are proved without any rest...

We consider the following NP optimization problem: Given a set of polynomials Pi(x), i = 1 : : : s of degree at most 2 over GF [p] in n variables, nd a root common to as many as possible of the polynomials Pi(x). We prove that in the case when the polynomials do not contain any squares as monomials, it is always possible to approximate this problem within a factor of p 2 p 1 in polynomial time ...
