The aim of this paper is to study the integration of multiplicative preference relation as a preference representation structure in fuzzy multipurpose decision-making problems. Assuming fuzzy multipurpose decision-making problems under di4erent preference representation structures (ordering, utilities and fuzzy preference relations) and using the fuzzy preference relations as uniform representa...

Let F be a finite field, and 4: F* + E a surjective group homomorphism from the multiplicative group F* of F to a non-trivial abelian group E. A theorem of McConnel (Acta Arith. 8 (1963) 127-151) describes the permutations e of F with the property that d(ux uy) = d(x y) for all X, j’ E F, .Y #J. We give a short proof of this theorem, based on an argument of Bruen and Levinger (Canad. J. Math. 2...

We consider four different models of process interactions that unify and generalise models introduced and studied by Angluin et al. [AAD04] and models introduced and studied by Mazurkiewicz [Maz04a,Maz04b]. We encode these models by labelled (hyper)graphs and relabelling rules on this labelled (hyper)graphs called negotiations. Then for these models, we give complete characterisations of labell...

‘Loop-fusion cohomology’ is defined on the continuous loop space of a manifold in terms of Čech cochains satisfying two multiplicative conditions with respect to the fusion and figure-of-eight products on loops. The main result is that these cohomology groups, with coefficients in an abelian group, are isomorphic to those of the manifold and the transgression homomorphism factors through the is...

Let F q be a finite field of order q with q = p n , where p is a prime. A multiplicative character χ is a homomorphism from the multiplicative group F * q , ·· to the unit circle. In this note we will mostly give a survey of work on bounds for the character sum x χ(x) over a subset of F q. In Section 5 we give a nontrivial estimate of character sums over subspaces of finite fields. §1. Burgess'...

hence it yields an isomorphism between the quotient additive group C/2πiZ and the multiplicative group C×. The group C× is the group of complex points of the multiplicative group Gm; z 7→ e is the exponential function of the multiplicative group Gm. We shall replace this algebraic group by an elliptic curve. We could replace it also by other commutative algebraic groups. As a first example, the...
