چکیده

We introduce a combinatorial version of Stallings-Bestvina-Feighn-Dunwoody folding sequences. We then show how they are useful in analyzing the solvability of the uniform subgroup membership problem for fundamental groups of graphs of groups. Applications include coherent right-angled Artin groups and coherent solvable groups.

The Membership Problem for Switching Classes with Skew Gains

Gain graphs are graphs in which each edge has a gain (a label from a group so that reversing the direction of an edge inverses the gain). In this paper we take a generalized view of gain graphs in which the label of an edge is related to the label of the reverse edge by an involution, i.e., an anti-automorphism of order at most two. Switching classes are equivalence classes of gain graphs under...

FUZZY GOAL PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUE TO SOLVE MULTIOBJECTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS WITH SOME NON-LINEAR MEMBERSHIP FUNCTIONS

The linear multiobjective transportation problem is a special type of vector minimum problem in which constraints are all equality type and the objectives are conicting in nature. This paper presents an application of fuzzy goal programming to the linear multiobjective transportation problem. In this paper, we use a special type of nonlinear (hyperbolic and exponential) membership functions to ...

Strength of strongest dominating sets in fuzzy graphs

A set S of vertices in a graph G=(V,E) is a dominating set ofG if every vertex of V-S is adjacent to some vertex of S.For an integer k≥1, a set S of vertices is a k-step dominating set if any vertex of $G$ is at distance k from somevertex of S. In this paper, using membership values of vertices and edges in fuzzy graphs, we introduce the concepts of strength of strongestdominating set as well a...

1 M ay 2 00 9 The fully residually F quotients of F ∗ 〈 x , y 〉

We describe the fully residually F groups; or limit groups relative to F ; that arise as the coordinate groups of irreducible systems of equations in two variables over a free group F that have coefficients in F. We use the structure theory of f.g. fully residually free groups and Bass-Serre theory. In particular we use foldings sequences for subgroups of fundamental groups of graphs of groups.

An algorithm for determining common weights by concept of membership function

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method to evaluate the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs). In this method, the issue has always been to determine a set of weights for each DMU which often caused many problems. Since the DEA models also have the multi-objective linear programming (MOLP) problems nature, a rational relationship can be established between MOLP and DEA problem...
