Endomorphisms of the measure algebra commutative hypergroups are investigated. We focus on derivations and higher order which closely related to moment function sequences rank. describe exact connection between those endomorphisms if it is considered as a module over ring continuous functions.

Abstract Currently, there is no “timber moment frame structural system,” as the basic glulam beam‐to‐column connections (usually represented by bolted with slotted‐in steel plates) offer limited rotational stiffness such that they are usually treated pin connections. This paper proposes an innovative type of moment‐resisting connection reinforced long rods screwheads (LSRSs) and self‐tapping sc...

In the present paper an improved formulation devoted to optimal design problem of a special moment resisting connection device for steel frames is proposed. This innovative called Limited Resistance Plastic Device (LRPD) and it has been recently proposed patented by some authors. It thought be preferably located at extremes beam, connecting beam end cross section with relevant column. The typic...

The question of whether architectural creativity is more of an artistic or engineering nature is one with a long history but also one with no conclusive answer. The art camp would argue that technology should be treated as a means towards and end, and that technology alone cannot give meaning to our lives. The engineering camp on the other hand would argue that good problem-solving result...

We show an efficient algorithm for the following problem: Given uniformly random points from an arbitrary n-dimensional simplex, estimate the simplex. The size of the sample and the number of arithmetic operations of our algorithm are polynomial in n. This answers a question of Frieze, Jerrum and Kannan Frieze et al. (1996). Our result can also be interpreted as efficiently learning the interse...

Endplate moment connections with shape memory alloy (SMA) bolts provide self-centering for the seismic resilience of structures. Predicting response these new beam–column connections, which have not been codified yet, requires conducting experimental tests or detailed continuum finite-element simulations. Computationally efficient predictive tools are needed to facilitate analysis, design, and ...

This paper shows that the naturally induced discrete diierentia-tion operators induced from a wavelet-Galerkin nite-dimensional approximation to a standard function space approximates diierentiation with an error of order O(h 2d+2), where d is the degree of the wavelet system. The degree of a wavelet system is deened as one less than the degree of the lowest order non-vanishing moment of the fu...
