Lattice of full soft Lie algebra
In this paper, we study the relation between the soft sets and soft Lie algebras with the lattice theory. We introduce the concepts of the lattice of soft sets, full soft sets and soft Lie algebras and next, we verify some properties of them. We prove that the lattice of the soft sets on a fixed parameter set is isomorphic to the power set of a ...
متن کاملAn Experimental Investigation of Feasibility of Gas Huff and Puff for Recovering Crude Oil with Different Viscosities
Investigating multi cyclic gas (N2 and CO2) huff and puff have been conducted by long sandpack simulations with four different crude oils from Jiangsu oilfield. According to the production differential pressure and the production regularity during huff and puff, the production process was divided into three sections; the first one is free gas production section; the second section is low viscou...
متن کاملDynamic Competitive Supply Chain Network Design with Price Dependent Demand and Huff Utility Function
This paper develops a two-stage model to consider a franchise/franchisee environment in which supply chains are simultaneously entering the untapped market to produce either identical or highly substitutable products and give franchise to franchisees. Customer demand is elastic, price dependent and customer utility function is based on Huff gravity rule model. The supply chains, in the first st...
متن کاملAnalysis of Recorded Rainfall Information for the Purpose of Huff Curves Extraction in the Dez Dam
Identifying the rainfall characteristics and understanding the rainfall-related processes is one of the key factors in the scientific management of water resources. Selection of the design storm is the first step in the estimation of the design flood. Determining temporal rainfall patterns is very important as one of the design rainfall properties in flood estimation and the design of drainage ...
متن کاملA Diffusion Equation with Exponential Nonlinearity Recant Developments
The purpose of this paper is to analyze in detail a special nonlinear partial differential equation (nPDE) of the second order which is important in physical, chemical and technical applications. The present nPDE describes nonlinear diffusion and is of interest in several parts of physics, chemistry and engineering problems alike. Since nature is not linear intrinsically the nonlinear case is t...
