As aerospace and military systems become increasingly interconnected, their combined behavior can become more complex than each individual subsystem in isolation and unexpected self-organizing or emergent behaviors can result. Explicit consideration of emergent behavior has not been addressed in current systems development methodologies. This paper gives background on approaches for modeling em...

Earlier work on program and thread algebra detailed the functional, observable behavior of programs under execution. In this article we add the modeling of unobservable, mechanistic processing, in particular processing due to jump instructions. We model mechanistic processing preceding some further behavior as a delay of that behavior; we borrow a unary delay operator from discrete time process...

it is shown that every  almost linear bijection $h : arightarrow b$ of a unital $c^*$-algebra $a$ onto a unital$c^*$-algebra $b$ is a $c^*$-algebra isomorphism when $h(3^n u y) = h(3^n u) h(y)$ for allunitaries  $u in a$, all $y in a$, and all $nin mathbb z$, andthat almost linear continuous bijection $h : a rightarrow b$ of aunital $c^*$-algebra $a$ of real rank zero onto a unital$c^*$-algebra...

in this paper, we introduce the notion of multiplier in -algebra and study relationships between multipliers and some special mappings, likeness closure operators, homomorphisms and ( -derivations in -algebras. we introduce the concept of idempotent multipliers in bl-algebra and weak congruence and obtain an interconnection between idempotent multipliers and weak congruences. also, we introduce...

After introducing double derivations of $n$-Lie algebra $L$ we‎ ‎describe the relationship between the algebra $mathcal D(L)$ of double derivations and the usual‎ ‎derivation Lie algebra $mathcal Der(L)$‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we prove that the inner derivation algebra $ad(L)$‎ ‎is an ideal of the double derivation algebra $mathcal D(L)$; we also show that if $L$ is a perfect $n$-Lie algebra‎ ‎wit...

Boundary algebra (BA) is a mathematical alternative to standard algebra. It represents numbers and functions using space and boundaries, which can be manipulated with three simple equivalence rules. In BA, the behavior of large constructions, such as complex numbers and transcendental functions, can be directly deduced from the basic rules of BA, suggesting that it represents a fundamental core...

In this paper we consider the sequence of consecutive powers of a matrix in a Boolean algebra. We characterize the ultimate behavior of this sequence, we study the transient part of the sequence and...

The largest class of algebraic hyper structures satisfying the module like axioms is the v H module. In this paper, we consider the category of v H -modules and prove that the direct limit always exists in this category. Direct limits are defined by a universal property, and so are unique. The most powerful tool in order to obtain a module from a given v H module is the quotient out procedure. ...

let a be a banach algebra and e be a banach a-bimodule then s = a  e, the l1-direct sum of a and e becomes a module extension banach algebra when equipped with the algebras product (a; x):(a′; x′) = (aa′; a:x′ + x:a′). in this paper, we investigate △-amenability for these banach algebras and we show that for discrete inverse semigroup s with the set of idempotents es, the module extension bana...
