The concept of a fuzzifying topology was given in [1] under the name L-fuzzy topology. Ying studied in [9, 10, 11] the fuzzifying topologies in the case of L = [0,1]. A classical topology is a special case of a fuzzifying topology. In a fuzzifying topology τ on a set X , every subset A of X has a degree τ(A) of belonging to τ, 0 ≤ τ(A) ≤ 1. In [4], we defined the degrees of compactness, of loca...

Most existing fuzzy clustering approaches group objects in a dataset based on either a feature-vector representation of each object, or pairwise relationship representation between each pair of objects. However, when both forms of data representations from different descriptions are available for a given dataset, we believe that a dual and cooperative analysis of feature-vectors (vector data) a...

A variant of compactness designated as statistical has been introduced. Statistically compact subsets n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn have characterized by using Cantor-Bendixson derivative and it is further extended to the product RN.

The Palais-Smale Condition C holds for the Yang-Mills functional on principal bundles over compact manifolds of dimension ≤ 3. This was established by S. Sedlacek [17] and C. Taubes [18] Proposition 4.5 using the compactness theorem of K. Uhlenbeck [20]; see also [23]. It is well known that Condition C fails for Yang-Mills over compact manifolds of dimension ≥ 4. The example of SO(3)-invariant ...

We establish an existence result for semilinear elliptic problems with the associated functional not satisfying the Palais-Smale condition. The nonlinearity of our problem does not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition.
