in this paper, the main results are:a study of the finitely generated mv-algebras of continuous functions from the n-th power of the unit real interval i to i;a study of hopfian mv-algebras; anda category-theoretic study of the map sending an mv-algebra as above to the range of its generators (up to a suitable form of homeomorphism).

In this paper, we study some ring theoretic properties of the amalgamated duplication ring $Rbowtie I$ of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ along an ideal $I$ of $R$ which was introduced by D'Anna and Fontana. Indeed, it is determined that when $Rbowtie I$ satisfies Serre's conditions $(R_n)$ and $(S_n)$, and when is a normal ring, a generalized Cohen-Macaulay ring and finally a filter ring.

After recalling briefly the main properties of the amalgamated duplication of a ring R along an ideal I , denoted by R1 I [5], we restrict our attention to the study of the properties of R1 I , when I is a multiplicative canonical ideal of R [9]. In particular, we study when every regular fractional ideal of R1I is divisorial.

A generalized-statistics variational principle for source separation is formulated by recourse to Tsallis’ entropy subjected to the additive duality and employing constraints described by normal averages. The variational principle is amalgamated with Hopfield-like learning rules resulting in an unsupervised learning model. The update rules are formulated with the aid of q-deformed calculus. Num...

Gold nanostars (AuNSt) amalgamated with mercury ions (Hg 2+ ) results in reduced SERS performance whilst their enzyme-mimicking capability is not deteriorated, thus providing a basis for Hg detection inverse sensitivity.

the concept of soft sets, introduced by molodtsov [20] is a mathematicaltool for dealing with uncertainties, that is free from the difficultiesthat have troubled the traditional theoretical approaches. in this paper, weapply the notion of the soft sets of molodtsov to the theory of hilbert algebras.the notion of soft hilbert (abysmal and deductive) algebras, soft subalgebras,soft abysms and sof...

In the paper we prove the convergence of the method of feasible directions for the case of quasi-concave constraining functions. These results were already published but in a shorter form and amalgamated with a stochastic programming problem. Here we give a detailed and a more general treatment of the earlier results.

We prove that the amalgamated free product of two free groups of rank two over a common cyclic subgroup, admits an amenable, faithful, transitive action on an infinite countable set. We also show that any finite index subgroup admits such an action, which applies for example to surface groups and fundamental groups of surface bundles over S.

We study the geometry of compact Lorentzian manifolds that admit a somewhere timelike Killing vector field, and whose isometry group has infinitely many connected components. Up to a finite cover, such manifolds are products (or amalgamated products) of a flat Lorentzian torus and a compact Riemannian (resp., lightlike) manifold.
