the notion of strong arcs in a fuzzy graph was introduced bybhutani and rosenfeld in [1] and fuzzy end nodes in the subsequent paper[2] using the concept of strong arcs. in mordeson and yao [7], the notion of“degrees” for concepts fuzzified from graph theory were defined and studied.in this note, we discuss degrees for fuzzy end nodes and study further someproperties of fuzzy end nodes and fuzz...

In this paper we develop techniques that are suitable for the parallel implementation of Fuzzy ARTMAP networks. Speedup and learning performance results are provided for execution on a DECmpp/Sx-1208 parallel processor consisting of a DEC RISC Workstation Front-End (FE) and MasPar MP-1 Back-End (BE) with 8,192 processors. Experiments of the parallel implementation were conducted on the Letters ...

This paper mainly describes the architecture of a very small size high speed fuzzy chip with two inputs and one output. In particular, an input data set rate of 80 ns is obtained by means of 4 clock pipeline cycles synchronized with a 50 MHz signal. In addition the chip architecture processes only the actives rules by a parallel-pipeline structure. The design has been done using VHDL language a...

The paper explains the design and the realization of a small size high-speed fuzzy processor. The processor goal is to give more 3exibility to the front-end electronics for high-energy physics experiments. The chip can be applied as a general purpose data analyzer; particularly for analyzing and reducing on-line the data coming from detectors. The application of a fuzzy processor to this +eld a...

This paper extends the work of Markowitz (1952), Korkie and Turtle (2002) and others by first proving that the traditional estimate for the optimal return of self-financing portfolios always overestimates from its theoretic value. To circumvent the problem, we develop a bootstrap estimate for the optimal return of self-financing portfolios and prove that this estimate is consistent with its cou...

The bootstrap is a popular and convenient method for quantifying the authority of an empirical ordering of attributes, for example of a ranking of the performance of institutions or of the influence of genes on a response variable. In the first of these examples, the number, p, of quantities being ordered is sometimes only moderate in size; in the second it can be very large, often much greater...

We propose a model of spectral contextual e ects to simulate the superior recognition ability of humans and apply it to a front-end processor for word spotting. This model assumes that perceived spectra are in uenced by adjacent spectral peaks and that the magnitude of the in uence can be estimated by the minimum classi cation error criterion. Three experiments were carried out to evaluate the ...

Electronic petition systems support participation in the democratic decision-making process. However, current petition systems often have serious drawbacks in reliability and anonymity. This paper presents PetAnon, a privacy-preserving petition system that tries to tackle the shortcomings of existing systems. A proof-ofconcept implementation is presented that uses the Belgian eID card in a boot...

This is a survey of the use of the bootstrap in the area of systematic and evolutionary biology. I present the current usage by biologists of the bootstrap as a tool both for making inferences and for evaluating robustness, and propose a framework for thinking about these problems in terms of mathematical statistics.
