Solutions of a diophantine equation f(a, b) = g(c, d), with a, b, c, d in some finite range, can be efficiently enumerated by sorting the values of f and g in ascending order and searching for collisions. This article considers functions f : N×N → Z that are bimonotone in the sense that f(a, b) ≤ f(a′, b′) whenever a ≤ a′ and b ≤ b′. A two-variable polynomial with non-negative coefficients is a...

the present paper introduces the notion of the complete fuzzy norm on a linear space. and, some relations between the fuzzy completeness and ordinary completeness on a linear space is considered, moreover a new form of fuzzy compact spaces, namely b-compact spaces and b-closed spaces are introduced. some characterizations of their properties are obtained.

In this paper, for the Stratified Median Ranked Set Sampling (SMRSS), proposed by Ibrahim et al. (2010), we examine the proportional and optimum sample allocations that are two well-known methods for sample allocation in stratified sampling. We show that the variances of the mean estimators of a symmetric population in SMRSS using optimum and proportional allocations to strata are smaller than ...

in this paper, a new definition of fuzzy bounded sets and totallyfuzzy bounded sets is introduced and properties of such sets are studied. thena relation between totally fuzzy bounded sets and n-compactness is discussed.finally, a geometric characterization for fuzzy totally bounded sets in i- topologicalvector spaces is derived.

in this paper, a certain new connectedness of l-fuzzy subsets inl-topological spaces is introduced and studied by means of preclosed sets. itpreserves some fundamental properties of connected set in general topology.especially the famous k. fan’s theorem holds.
