Let £-group P act faithfully on abelian group A. Then P also acts faithfully on A, the abelian group of all linear complex characters of A. Suppose that all orbits in A under the action of P have size at most pe and that all orbits in A have size at most p1'. If A is a p'group, then a simple application of Corollary 2.4 of [2] yields \p\ ^p2e and | JP| ikp21 ■ On the other hand, if A is not a p...

We consider walks on a triangular domain that is a subset of the triangular lattice. We then specialise this by dividing the lattice into two directed sublattices with different weights. Our central result is an explicit formula for the generating function of walks starting at a fixed point in this domain and ending anywhere within the domain. Intriguingly, the specialisation of this formula to...

Abstract In this paper we explain the fractal geometry of refined and derefined triangular and tetrahedral meshes by means of the application of iterated function systems (IFS). These meshes feature a remarkable amplifying invariance under changes of scale. The applications of IFS families are shown equivalent to the use of adaptive strategies that combine the refinement procedure with the dere...

In our earlier articles, we proposed two methods for solving the fully fuzzified linear fractional programming (FFLFP) problems. In this paper, we introduce a different approach of evaluating fuzzy inequalities between two triangular fuzzy numbers and solving FFLFP problems. First, using the Charnes-Cooper method, we transform the linear fractional programming problem into a linear one. Second,...

Risk assessment is a popular and important tool in decision making process. Risk assessment is generally performed using models and model is a function of some parameters which are usually affected by uncertainty. Here, we consider that model parameters are affected by epistemic uncertainty. To represent epistemic uncertainty in general triangular fuzzy number or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are u...

In many applications it is required to have a curvature-dependent surface sampling, based on a local shape analysis. In this work we show how this can be achieved by using the support function (SF) representation of a surface. This representation, a classical tool in Convex Geometry, has been recently considered in CAD problems for computing surface offsets and for analyzing curvatures. Startin...

In order to avoid combinatorial rule explosion in fuzzy reasoning, in this work we explore the distributive equations of implications. In details, by means of the section of I, we give out the sufficient and necessary conditions of solutions for the distributive equation of implication I(x, T1(y, z)) = T2(I(x, y), I(x, z)), when T1 is a continuous but not Archimedean triangular norm, T2 is a co...
