Inequalities for linear combinations of monomials in p-Newton sequences

The partial order on monomials that corresponds to domination when evaluated at positive Newton sequences is fully understood. Here we take up the corresponding partial order on linear combinations of monomials. In part using analysis based upon the cone structure of the exponents in p-Newton sequences, an array of conditions is given for this new partial order. It appears that a characterization in general will be difficult. Within the case in which all coefficients are 1, the situation in which, for general sequence length, there are two monomials, each of length two and nonnegative integer exponents, the partial order is fully characterized. The characterization is combinatorial, in terms of indices in the monomials, and, already here there is much more than term-wise domination.     

Automatic β-expansions of formal Laurent series over finite fields

We consider β-expansions of formal Laurent series over finite fields. If the base β is a Pisot or Salem series, we prove that the β-expansion of a Laurent series α is automatic if and only if α is algebraic.     

Approximating exponential and logarithmic functions using polynomial interpolation

This article takes a closer look at the problem of approximating the exponential and logarithmic functions using polynomials. Either as an alternative to or a precursor to Taylor polynomial approximations at the precalculus level, interpolating polynomials are considered. A measure of error is given and the behaviour of the error function is analysed. The results of interpolating polynomials are compared with those of Taylor polynomials.     

A class of solvable coupled nonlinear oscillators with amplitude independent frequencies

Existence of amplitude independent frequencies of oscillation is an unusual property for a nonlinear oscillator. We find that a class of N coupled nonlinear Liénard type oscillators exhibit this interesting property. We show that a specific subset can be explicitly solved from which we demonstrate the existence of periodic and quasiperiodic solutions. Another set of N coupled nonlinear oscillators, possessing the amplitude independent nature of frequencies, is almost integrable in the sense that the system can be reduced to a single nonautonomous first order scalar differential equation which can be easily integrated numerically.     

An object-parameter approach to predicting unknown data in incomplete fuzzy soft sets

Incomplete data in soft sets lead to uncertainty and inaccuracy in representing and handling information. This paper introduces notions of complete distance between two objects and relative dominance degree between two parameters. Based on both the notions, an object-parameter method is proposed to predict unknown data in incomplete fuzzy soft sets. The proposal makes full use of known data, including the information from the relationship between known values of all objects on a certain parameter and the information from the relationship between known values of an object on all parameters. The effectiveness of the proposal is verified by many examples under the compared investigation of classical predicted methods.     

On circular–linear one-factorizations of the complete graph

In Korchmáros et al. (2018)one-factorizations of the complete graph $K_n$ are constructed for $n=q+1$ with any odd prime power $q$ such that either $q\equiv 1(mod4)$ or $q=2^h?1$. The arithmetic restriction $n=q+1$ is due to the fact that the vertices of $K_n$ in the construction are the points of a conic $\Omega$ in the finite plane of order $q$. Here we work on the Euclidean plane and describe an analogous construction where the role of $\Omega$ is taken by a regular $n$-gon. This allows us to remove the above constraints and construct one-factorizations of $K_n$ for every even $n\ge 6$.
