Abstract. We introduce the notion of composite growth function and provide examples that illustrate the primary properties of these growth functions. There are provided examples of Mealy automata that have composite nonmonotonic growth functions of the polynomial growth order. There are described examples of Mealy automata that have composite monotonic growth functions of intermediate and expon...

Defeasible logic is a rule-based nonmonotonic logic, with both strict and defeasible rules, and a priority relation on rules. We show that inference in the propositional form of the logic can be performed in linear time. This contrasts markedly with most other propositional nonmonotonic logics, in which inference is intractable.

tac (time to amplitude convertor) is one of the most important time measurement instrumentswhich has great significance in many fields of science, especially radiation physics. a tac unit has beendesigned based on the start-stop analog method and nim (nuclear instrument modules) standards. afterdesigning the circuit, it was simulated by pspice software and constructed by discrete and integrated...

We consider a class of one dimensional vector Non-linear Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger Equation(NLSE) in an external complex potential with Balanced Loss-Gain(BLG) and Linear Coupling(LC) among the components field. The solvability generic system is investigated for various combinations time modulated LC BLG terms, space-time dependent strength nonlinear interaction potential. use non-unitary transforma...

one of the challenges in non-destructive testing schemes using the ultrasound pulse-echo technique is to identify those defects whose sizes are less than or equal to the detection resolution that is dependent on the width of the ultrasound pulse. existing methods also require a reference specimen of the same defective material, which may not be available in some cases. we present a new method f...

Wax deposition phenomenon changes the rheological behavior of waxy crude oil completely. In the current work, the rheological time-dependent and time-independent behaviors of waxy crude oil samples are studied and flow curve and compliance function are measured for the oil samples with various wax contents at different temperatures. A decrease in temperature and an increase in wax content lead ...

{ The properties of time series generated by a perceptron with monotonic and non-monotonic transfer function, where the next input vector is determined from past output values, are examined. Analysis of the parameter space reveals the following main nding: a perceptron with a monotonic function can produce fragile chaos only whereas a non-monotonic function can generate robust chaos as well. Fo...

This paper presents an error in the schedulability test for global deadlinemonotonic scheduling of arbitrary-deadline sporadic task systems in identical multiprocessor systems proposed by Baruah and Fisher in OPODIS 2007. This erratum provides a simple fix. Fortunately, the speedup bound 2+ √ 3 claimed in their paper remains valid with this simple fix. In the sporadic task model, a task τi is c...
