The Mcshane Integral of Fuzzy-Valued Functions

In this paper, the Mcshane integrals of fuzzy-valued functions are defined, discussed, and characterized. It shows that, in a sense, the Mcshane integrals of interval-valued functions and fuzzy-valued functions are the Riemann-type definitions of the Aumann integral and (K) integral respectively.AMS Subject Classification (2000) 28EI0 (04A72)The authors are supported by the Special Fund of China for Ph.D. Instructors in Universities     

The Metric Integral of Set-Valued Functions

This paper introduces a new integral of univariate set-valued functions of bounded variation with compact images in \({\mathbb {R}}^d\). The new integral, termed the metric integral, is defined using metric linear combinations of sets and is shown to consist of integrals of all the metric selections of the integrated multifunction. The metric integral is a subset of the Aumann integral, but in contrast to the latter, it is not necessarily convex. For a special class of segment functions equality of the two integrals is shown. Properties of the metric selections and related properties of the metric integral are studied. Several indicative examples are presented.     

Integration over the Space of Functions and Poincaré Series Revisited

Earlier (2000) the authors introduced the notion of the integral with respect to the Euler characteristic over the space of germs of functions on a variety and over its projectivization. This notion allowed the authors to rewrite known definitions and statements in new terms and also turned out to be an effective tool for computing the Poincar´e series of multi-index filtrations in some situations. However, the “classical” (initial) notion can be applied only to multi-index filtrations defined by so-called finitely determined valuations (or order functions). Here we introduce a modified version of the notion of the integral with respect to the Euler characteristic over the projectivization of the space of function germs. This version can be applied in a number of settings where the “classical approach” does not work. We give examples of the application of this concept to definitions and computations of the Poincar´e series (including equivariant ones) of collections of plane valuations which contain valuations not centred at the origin.     

Fuzzy measure of fuzzy events defined by fuzzy integrals

We define the concept of fuzzy measure of a fuzzy event by using a general form of fuzzy integral proposed by Murofushi, called fuzzy t-conorm integral, encompassing previous definitions. Zadeh defined the probability measure of a fuzzy event, and later the possibility measure of fuzzy event. Using a duality property of fuzzy t-conorm integral, we propose a general definition of fuzzy measure of fuzzy events, which is compatible with previous definitions of Zadeh, and possesses all properties of a fuzzy measure, in particular the duality property. Using our definition, we examine the case of decomposable measures and belief functions. A comparison with previous works is provided.     

On a Multivariable Class of Mittag-Leffler Type Functions

The present paper studies and investigates a class of Mittag-Leffler type multivariable functions. We derive the necessary convergence conditions and establish several properties associated with this class and those related with the corresponding class of fractional integral operators. New extensions of the introduced definitions and special cases of some of the results are also pointed out.     

Markov Transition Functions and Semigroups of Measures

The application of operator semigroups to Markov processes is extended to Markov transition functions which do not have the Feller property. Markov transition functions are characterized as solutions of forward and backward equations which involve the generators of integrated semigroups and are shown to induce integral semigroups on spaces of measures.     

Familiarizing Students with Definition of Lebesgue Integral: Examples of Calculation Directly from Its Definition Using Mathematica

We present in this paper several examples of Lebesgue integral calculated directly from its definitions using Mathematica. Calculation of Riemann integrals directly from its definitions for some elementary functions is standard in higher mathematics education. But it is difficult to find analogical examples for Lebesgue integral in the available literature. The paper contains Mathematica codes which we prepared to calculate symbolically Lebesgue sums and limits of sums. We also visualize the graphs of simple functions used for approximation of the integrals. We also show how to calculate the needed sums and limits by hand (without CAS). We compare our calculations in Mathematica with calculations in some other CAS programs such as wxMaxima, MuPAD and Sage for the same integrals.

A simplified expression of the Shapley function for fuzzy game

In this paper, a simplified expression of the Shapley function for games with fuzzy coalition is proposed, which can be regarded as the generalization of Shapley functions defined in some particular games with fuzzy coalition. The simplified expression of the Shapley function is compared with two definitions established by Butnariu, Tsurumi et al. A conclusion is drawn that the simplified expression of the Shapley function is equivalent to Butnariu’s definition when characteristic function is a game with proportional values, and is equivalent to Tsurumi’s definition when characteristic function is a game with Choquet integral forms. Furthermore, from an angle of interaction between two participation levels, the properties of the two games defined by Butnariu and Tsurumi are respectively studied.

On quasi-periodicity properties of fractional integrals and fractional derivatives of periodic functions

This paper is devoted to the study of quasi-periodic properties of fractional order integrals and derivatives of periodic functions. Considering Riemann–Liouville and Caputo definitions, we discuss when the fractional derivative and when the fractional integral of a certain class of periodic functions satisfies particular properties. We study concepts close to the well known idea of periodic function, such as S-asymptotically periodic, asymptotically periodic or almost periodic function. Boundedness of fractional derivative and fractional integral of a periodic function is also studied.     

Toward a Unified Theory of Generalized Functions: Convergence

Generalized functions are usually treated as bounded linear functionals on spaces of test functions. Here they are considered as objects which ?convolute”? with test functions and satisfy a certain associativity condition. In this setting simple definitions are given for convergence of sequences of test functions and generalized functions, definitions which do not depend on particular properties of the space of test functions. It is shown that for the most commonly used spaces, these general definitions reduce to the standard ones.

On the Strong McShane Integral of Functions with Values in a Banach Space

The classical Bochner integral is compared with the McShane concept of integration based on Riemann type integral sums. It turns out that the Bochner integrable functions form a proper subclass of the set of functions which are McShane integrable provided the Banach space to which the values of functions belong is infinite-dimensional. The Bochner integrable functions are characterized by using gauge techniques. The situation is different in the case of finite-dimensional valued vector functions.     

Analysis of arbitrarily shaped planar cracks in two-dimensional hexagonal quasicrystals with thermal effects. Part I: Theoretical solutions

An extended displacement discontinuity (EDD) boundary integral equation method is proposed for analysis of arbitrarily shaped planar cracks in two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal quasicrystals (QCs) with thermal effects. The EDDs include the phonon and phason displacement discontinuities and the temperature discontinuity on the crack surface. Green's functions for unit point EDDs in an infinite three-dimensional medium of 2D hexagonal QC are derived using the Hankel transform method. Based on the Green's functions and the superposition theorem, the EDD boundary integral equations for an arbitrarily shaped planar crack in an infinite 2D hexagonal QC body are established. Using the EDD boundary integral equation method, the asymptotic behavior along the crack front is studied and the classical singular index of 1/2 is obtained at the crack edge. The extended stress intensity factors are expressed in terms of the EDDs across crack surfaces. Finally, the energy release rate is obtained using the definitions of the stress intensity factors.     

The Class of Clifford-Fourier Transforms

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the study of hypercomplex signals and their Fourier transforms. This paper aims to study such integral transforms from general principles, using 4 different yet equivalent definitions of the classical Fourier transform. This is applied to the so-called Clifford-Fourier transform (see Brackx et al., J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 11:669–681, 2005). The integral kernel of this transform is a particular solution of a system of PDEs in a Clifford algebra, but is, contrary to the classical Fourier transform, not the unique solution. Here we determine an entire class of solutions of this system of PDEs, under certain constraints. For each solution, series expressions in terms of Gegenbauer polynomials and Bessel functions are obtained. This allows to compute explicitly the eigenvalues of the associated integral transforms. In the even-dimensional case, this also yields the inverse transform for each of the solutions. Finally, several properties of the entire class of solutions are proven.

The widest continuous integral

An approach to a definition of an integral, which differs from definitions of Lebesgue and Henstock-Kurzweil integrals, is considered. We use trigonometrical polynomials instead of simple functions. Let V be the space of all complex trigonometrical polynomials without the free term. The definition of a continuous integral on the space V is introduced. All continuous integrals are described in terms of norms on V. The existence of the widest continuous integral is proved, the explicit form of its norm is obtained and it is proved that this norm is equivalent to the Alexiewicz norm. It is shown that the widest continuous integral is wider than the Lebesgue integral. An analog of the fundamental theorem of calculus for the widest continuous integral is given.
