Circuit and fractional circuit covers of matroids

چکیده

LetM be a connectedmatroid having a ground set E. Lemos andOxley proved that |E(M)| ≤ 2 c(M)c (M)where c(M) (resp. c(M)) is the circumference (resp. cocircumference) of M. In addition, they conjectured that one can find a collection of at most c(M) circuits which cover the elements ofM at least twice. In this paper, we verify this conjecture for regular matroids. Moreover, we show that a version of this conjecture is true for fractional circuit covers. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

BASES AND CIRCUITS OF FUZZIFYING MATROIDS

In this paper, as an application of fuzzy matroids, the fuzzifying greedy algorithm is proposed and an achievableexample is given. Basis axioms and circuit axioms of fuzzifying matroids, which are the semantic extension for thebasis axioms and circuit axioms of crisp matroids respectively, are presented. It is proved that a fuzzifying matroidis equivalent to a mapping which satisfies the basis ...

Design of a Single-Layer Circuit Analog Absorber Using Double-Circular-Loop Array via the Equivalent Circuit Model

A broadband Circuit Analogue (CA) absorber using double-circular-loop array is investigated in this paper. A simple equivalent circuit model is presented to accurately analyze this CA absorber. The circuit simulation of the proposed model agrees well with full-wave simulations. Optimization based the equivalent circuit model, is applied to design a single-layer circuit analogue absorber using d...

A New Highly Controllable and Accurate Algorithm for Defuzzifier Circuit Implementation

Defuzzifier circuit is one of the most important parts of fuzzy logic controllers that determine the output accuracy. The Center Of Gravity method (COG) is one of the most accurate methods that so far been presented for defuzzification. In this paper, a simple algorithm is presented to generate triangular output membership functions in the Mamdani method using the multiplier/divider circuit and...

Spanning Circuits in Regular Matroids

We consider the fundamental Matroid Theory problem of finding a circuit in a matroid spanning a set T of given terminal elements. For graphic matroids this corresponds to the problem of finding a simple cycle passing through a set of given terminal edges in a graph. The algorithmic study of the problem on regular matroids, a superclass of graphic matroids, was initiated by Gavenčiak, Král’, and...

Fractional Modeling and Analysis of Buck Converter in CCM Mode Peration

In this paper fractional order averaged model for DC/DC Buck converter in continues condition mode (CCM) operation is established. DC/DC Buck converter is one of the main components in the wind turbine system which is used in this research. Due to some practical restriction there weren’t exist input voltage and duty cycle of converter therefor whole of the wind system was simulated in Matlab/Si...
