in this paper, we define the common minimal common neighborhooddominating signed graph (or common minimal $cn$-dominating signedgraph) of a given signed graph and offer a structuralcharacterization of common minimal $cn$-dominating signed graphs.in the sequel, we also obtained switching equivalencecharacterization: $overline{sigma} sim cmcn(sigma)$, where$overline{sigma}$ and $cmcn(sigma)$ are ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 introduction: health care organizations have begun applying six sigma methods into their operations. on the other hand, the difficulty of using indicators to compare health care providers in a meaningful way has led to an increased focus on using information about “adverse events”- that is , events that should not happen i...

Several fuzzy connectives, including those proposed by Lotfi Zadeh, can be seen as linear extensions of the Boolean connectives from the scale ${0,1}$ into the scale $[0,1]$. We discuss these extensions, in particular, we focus on the dualities arising from the Boolean dualities. These dualities allow to transfer the results from some particular class of extended Boolean functions, e.g., from c...

enterprise resource planning (erp) has become the most strategic tool for an organization to employ. a leading erp solution is sap®. it has been employed by organizations to enable them to collaborate on different projects and to integrate all aspects of operations. just as organizations have adopted erp solutions, they employed quality initiatives that are designed to help organizations maximi...

In this paper, by considering the notion of $Sigma$-hyperalgebras for an arbitrary signature $Sigma$, we study the notions of regular and strongly regular relations on a $Sigma$-hyperalgebra, $mathfrak{A}$. We show that each regular relation which contains a strongly regular relation is a strongly regular relation. Then we concentrate on the connection between the fundamental relation of $mathf...

the square map is one of the functions used in cryptography. for instance, the square map is used in rabin encryption scheme, block cipher rc6 and stream cipher rabbit, in different forms. in this paper, we study statistical properties of the output of the square map as a vectorial boolean function. we obtain the joint probability distribution of arbitrary number of the upper and the lower bits...

Boolean Networks (BNs) are established models to qualitatively describe biological systems. The analysis of BNs might be infeasible for medium large due the state-space explosion problem. We propose a novel reduction technique called Backward Equivalence (BBE), which preserves some properties interest BNs. In particular, reduced provide compact representation by grouping variables that, if init...
