A linear regression model for imprecise response

A linear regression model with imprecise response and p real explanatory variables is analyzed. The imprecision of the response variable is functionally described by means of certain kinds of fuzzy sets, the LR fuzzy sets. The LR fuzzy random variables are introduced to model usual random experiments when the characteristic observed on each result can be described with fuzzy numbers of a particular class, determined by 3 random values: the center, the left spread and the right spread. In fact, these constitute a natural generalization of the interval data. To deal with the estimation problem the space of the LR fuzzy numbers is proved to be isometric to a closed and convex cone of R³ with respect to a generalization of the most used metric for LR fuzzy numbers. The expression of the estimators in terms of moments is established, their limit distribution and asymptotic properties are analyzed and applied to the determination of confidence regions and hypothesis testing procedures. The results are illustrated by means of some case-studies.     

D n -normal semigroups of transformations

Given a subgroup G of the symmetric group S _n on n letters, a semigroup S of transformations of X _n is G-normal if G _S =G, where G _S consists of all permutations h∈S _n such that h ⁻¹ fh∈S for all f∈S. A semigroup S is G-normax if it is a maximal semigroup in the set of all G-normal semigroups. In 1996, I. Levi showed that the alternating group A _n can not serve as the group G _S for any semigroup of total transformations of X _n . In 2000 and 2001, I. Levi, D.B. McAlister and R.B. McFadden described all A _n -normal semigroups of partial transformations of X _n . Also, in 1994, I. Levi and R.B. McFadden described all S _n -normal semigroups. In this paper, we show that the dihedral group D _n may serve as the group G _S for semigroups of transformations of X _n . We characterize a large class of D _n -normax semigroups and describe certain D _n -normal semigroups.

Let F be a saturated formation containing the class of supersolvable groups and let G be a finite group. The following theorems are shown： （1） G ∈ F if and only if there is a normal subgroup H such that G/H ∈ F and every maximal subgroup of all Sylow subgroups of H is either c-normal or s-quasinormally embedded in G; （2） G ∈F if and only if there is a soluble normal subgroup H such that G/H∈F and every maximal subgroup of all Sylow subgroups of F（H）, the Fitting subgroup of H, is either e-normally or s-quasinormally embedded in G.     

Maximal Normal Orthogroups in Rings Containing No Infinite Semilattices

Let R be a ring regarded as a multiplicative semigroup which contains no infinite subsemilattices. We investigate subsemigroups of R which are normal orthogroups, and present a construction from which all such maximal normal orthogroups can be obtained. In particular, we construct all maximal normal orthogroups of matrices over a field under matrix multiplication.

Mehar’s method for solving fuzzy sensitivity analysis problems with LR flat fuzzy numbers

In published works on fuzzy linear programming there are only few papers dealing with stability or sensitivity analysis in fuzzy mathematical programming. To the best of our knowledge, till now there is no method in the literature to deal with the sensitivity analysis of such fuzzy linear programming problems in which all the parameters are represented by LR flat fuzzy numbers. In this paper, a new method, named as Mehar’s method, is proposed for the same. To show the advantages of proposed method over existing methods, some fuzzy sensitivity analysis problems which may or may not be solved by the existing methods are solved by using the proposed method.     

New Braided Crossed Categories and Drinfel'd Quantum Double for Weak Hopf Group Coalgebras

A simple and nice structure theorem for orthogroups was given by Petrich in 1987. In this paper, we consider a generalized orthogroup, that is, a quasi-completely regular semigroup with a band of idempotents in which its set of regular elements, namely, RegS, forms an ideal of S. A method of construction of such semigroups is provided and as a result, the Petrich structure theorem of orthogroups becomes an immediate corollary of our theorem on generalized orthogroups. An example of such generalized orthogroup is also constructed. This example provides some useful information for the construction of various kinds of quasi-completely regular semigroups.     

S-Regular and S-Normal Spaces

Primitive Normal Bases for Towers of Field Extensions

Given an extension E/F of Galois fields and an intermediate field K, we consider the problem whether the (E, K)-trace of a primitive F-normal element of E can be a prescribed F-normal element of K. An interesting application is the existence of trace-compatible sequences of primitive F-normal elements for certain towers of Galois fields. In this respect, particular emphasis is laid on extensions having prime power degree.     

Exact Convergence Rate for the Distributions of GI/M/c/K Queue as K Tends to Infinity

We obtain the exact convergence rate of the stationary distribution ^(K) of the embedded Markov chain in GI/M/c/K queue to the stationary distribution of the embedded Markov chain in GI/M/c queue as K. Similar result for the time-stationary distributions of queue size is also included. These generalize Choi and Kim's results of the case c=1 by nontrivial ways. Our results also strengthen the Simonot's results [5].     

On n-normal posets

A poset Q is called n-normal, if its every prime ideal contains at most n minimal prime ideals. In this paper, using the prime ideal theorem for finite ideal distributive posets, some properties and characterizations of n-normal posets are obtained.

Localization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">LM</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>-algebras

The aim of this paper is to define the localization LM _n -algebra of an LM _n —algebra L with respect to a topology F on L; in Section 5 we prove that the maximal LM _n -algebra of fractions (defined in [3]) and the LM _n -algebra of fractions relative to an Λ—closed system (defined in Section 2) are LM _n -algebras of localization.

On <Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>-normal maximal and minimal subgroups of Sylow <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-subgroups of finite groups

A subgroup H of a finite group G is called c-normal in G if there exists a normal subgroup N of G such that G = HN and $H \cap N \leq H_{G} = {\rm core}_{G}(H)$. In this paper, we investigate the class of groups of which every maximal subgroup of its Sylow p-subgroup is c-normal and the class of groups of which some minimal subgroups of its Sylow p-subgroup is c-normal for some prime number p. Some interesting results are obtained and consequently, many known results related to p-nilpotent groups and p-supersolvable groups are generalized.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis></Subscript>-mixed intersection bodies

In this paper the author first introduce a new concept of L _p -dual mixed volumes of star bodies which extends the classical dual mixed volumes. Moreover, we extend the notions of L _p intersection body to L _p -mixed intersection body. Inequalities for L _p -dual mixed volumes of L _p -mixed intersection bodies are established and the results established here provide new estimates for these type of inequalities.

The decomposition of Kv into K2×K5''''s

The decomposition of the complete graph Kv into Kr×Kc's, the products of Kr and Kc,is originated from the use of DNA library screening. In this paper, we consider the case where r=2 and c = 5, and show that such a decomposition exists if and only if v ≡ 1 (mod 25).
