A Splitter Theorem Relative to a Fixed Basis

چکیده

A standard matrix representation of a matroid M represents M relative to a fixed basis B, where contracting elements of B and deleting elements of E(M)−B correspond to removing rows and columns of the matrix, while retaining standard form. If M is 3-connected and N is a 3-connected minor of M , it is often desirable to perform such a removal while maintaining both 3-connectivity and the presence of an N -minor. We prove that, subject to a mild essential restriction, when M has no 4-element fans with a specific labelling relative to B, there are at least two distinct elements, s1 and s2, such that for each i ∈ {1, 2}, si(M/si) is 3-connected and has an N -minor when si ∈ B, and co(M\si) is 3-connected and has an N -minor when si ∈ E(M)−B. We also show that if M has precisely two such elements and P is the set of elements that, when removed in the appropriate way, retain the N -minor, then (P,E(M)− P ) is a sequential 3-separation.

Experimental Investigation of the Effect of Splitter Plate Angle on the Under-Scouring of Submarine Pipeline Due to Steady Current and Clear Water Condition

Submarine pipelines are appropriate method for transmission of oil and gas from sea bed. Free spans may occur due to the natural uneven seabed or by under-scouring. Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) can happen in such free spans at high Reynolds number. Resonance occurs if the frequency of vortex shedding is close to the pipeline’s natural frequency leading to its fatigue that can break the pipeli...

The Effect of Square Splittered and Unsplittered Rods in Flat Plate Heat Transfer Enhancement

A square splittered and unsplittered rod is placed in a turbulent boundary layer developed over a flat plate. The effect of the resulting disturbances on the local heat transfer coefficient is then studied. In both cases the square rod modifies the flow structure inside the boundary layer. As a result, a stagnation point, a jet and wake area are generated around the square rod, each making a co...

Fixed point theorem for non-self mappings and its applications in the modular ‎space

‎In this paper, based on [A. Razani, V. Rako$check{c}$evi$acute{c}$ and Z. Goodarzi, Nonself mappings in modular spaces and common fixed point theorems, Cent. Eur. J. Math. 2 (2010) 357-366.] a fixed point theorem for non-self contraction mapping $T$ in the modular space $X_rho$ is presented. Moreover, we study a new version of Krasnoseleskii's fixed point theorem for $S+T$, where $T$ is a cont...

A New Approach to Caristi's Fixed Point Theorem on Non-Archimedean Fuzzy Metric Spaces

In the present paper, we give a new approach to Caristi's fixed pointtheorem on non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces. For this we define anordinary metric $d$ using the non-Archimedean fuzzy metric $M$ on a nonemptyset $X$ and we establish some relationship between $(X,d)$ and $(X,M,ast )$%. Hence, we prove our result by considering the original Caristi's fixedpoint theorem.
