Let ∆ be one of the dual polar spaces DQ(8, q), DQ−(7, q), and let e : ∆ → Σ denote the spin-embedding of ∆. We show that e(∆) is a two-intersection set of the projective space Σ. Moreover, if ∆ ∼= DQ−(7, q), then e(∆) is a (q + 1)-tight set of a nonsingular hyperbolic quadric Q(7, q) of Σ ∼= PG(7, q). This (q + 1)-tight set gives rise to more examples of (q + 1)-tight sets of hyperbolic quadri...

In this article we study two different generalizations of von Neumann regularity, namely strong topological regularity and weak regularity, in the Banach algebra context. We show that both are hereditary properties and under certain assumptions, weak regularity implies strong topological regularity. Then we consider strong topological regularity of certain concrete algebras. Moreover we obtain ...

in this paper, the notion of fuzzy n-polygroups (fn -polygroups) is introduced and some related properties are investigated. in this regards, the concepts of normal  f-subpolygroups and homomorphisms of fn-polygroups are adopted. also, the quotient of fn-polygroups by defining regular relations are studied. finally, the classical isomorphism theorems of groups are generalized to fn-polygroups p...

Notions of strongly regular, regular and left(right) regular $Gamma$−semigroupsare introduced. Equivalent conditions are obtained through fuzzy notion for a$Gamma$−semigroup to be either strongly regular or regular or left regular.

Let G be a non-bipartite strongly regular graph on n vertices of valency k. We prove that if G has a distance-regular antipodal cover of diameter 4, then k ≤ 2(n + 1)/5 , unless G is the complement of triangular graph T (7), the folded Johnson graph J (8, 4) or the folded halved 8-cube. However, for these three graphs the bound k ≤ (n − 1)/2 holds. This result implies that only one of a complem...

Our general investigation of universal algebras obtained from multialgebras via strongly regular equivalence relations provides useful general results concerning fuzzy set topics related to multialgebra theory. We also give many hints on how to connect our approach with the results from the literature. Acknowledgement. The first author was supported by the CNCS-UEFISCDI grant PNII-RU-TE-2011-3-...

We present new abelian partial difference sets and amorphic group schemes of both Latin square type and negative Latin square type in certain abelian p-groups. Our method is to construct what we call pseudo-quadratic bent functions and use them in place of quadratic forms. We also discuss a connection between strongly regular bent functions and amorphic group schemes.

In this note we prove that bent functions can be precisely characterized in terms of a special class of strongly regular graphs, thus providing a positive answer to a question raised in the paper Spectral Analysis of Boolean Functions as a Graph Eigenvalue Problem. (After publication of the above paper by the rst two authors, the third sent them a remark showing that bent functions are exactly ...

We introduce canonical principal parameters on any strongly regular minimal surface in the three dimensional sphere and prove that any such a surface is determined up to a motion by its normal curvature function satisfying the Sinh-Poisson equation. We obtain a classification theorem for bi-umbilical hypersurfaces of type number two. We prove that any minimal hypersurface of type number two wit...
