abstract. let mn;m be the set of n-by-m matrices with entries inthe field of real numbers. a matrix r in mn = mn;n is a generalizedrow substochastic matrix (g-row substochastic, for short) if re e, where e = (1; 1; : : : ; 1)t. for x; y 2 mn;m, x is said to besgut-majorized by y (denoted by x sgut y ) if there exists ann-by-n upper triangular g-row substochastic matrix r such thatx = ry . th...

background and aim: it has been several decades since the technology of frequency lowering (fl) has been proposed. however, primary research has revealed no benefits regarding the use of this technique. currently, new methods for fl and improvement of perception of speech and fricative sounds have led to the application of these methods by numerous companies to produce hearing aids. in this stu...

in this paper, we investigate the continuity of linear and sublinear correspondences defined on cones in normed spaces. we also generalize some known results for sublinear correspondences.

the author studies the $bf r$$g$-module $a$ such that $bf r$ is an associative ring‎, ‎a group $g$ has infinite section $p$-rank (or infinite 0-rank)‎, ‎$c_{g}(a)=1$‎, ‎and for every‎ ‎proper subgroup $h$ of infinite section $p$-rank (or infinite 0-rank respectively) the quotient module $a/c_{a}(h)$ is‎ ‎a finite $bf r$-module‎. ‎it is proved that if the group $g$ under‎ ‎consideration is local...

progressive collapse is a chain reaction of failures propagating throughout a portion of the structure disproportionate to the original local failure occurring when a sudden loss of a critical load‐bearing element initiates a structural element failure, eventually resulting in partial or full collapse of the structure. both general services administration (gsa) and united states department of d...

in this study, application of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (anfis) in forecasting three perspectives (1, 2, and 4 years) ahead of iran’s agricultural products export was compared with arima as the most common econometrics linear forecasting method. for this purpose, iran’s agricultural products export revenues related to 1959-2010, and forecast performance measures such as r2, mad, and...

a compact formulation of the set of tours neither in a graph nor its complement is presented and illustrates a general methodology proposed for constructing polyhedral models of decision problems based upon permutations, projection and lifting techniques. directed hamilton tours on n vertex graphs are interpreted as (n-1)- permutations. sets of extrema of birkhoff polyhedra are mapped to tours ...
