In the context of MultiCriteria Decision Aid, we present new properties of a 2-additive bi-capacity by using a bipolar Möbius transform. We use these properties in the identification of a 2-additive bi-capacity when we represent a cardinal information by a Choquet integral with respect to a 2-additive bi-capacity.

In this paper we propose an efficient and regular ternary algorithm for scalar multiplication on elliptic curves over finite fields of characteristic three. This method is based on full signed ternary expansion of a scalar to be multiplied. The cost per bit of this algorithm is lower than that of all previous ones.

Given an epimorphism φ: Π → Π' between projective planes Π and Π', it is an open question how the groups of projectivities of Π and Π' (regarded as permutation groups on projective lines) are related. Within this note we will not answer this sophisticated and hard problem in full, but we will address the question to which extend the projectivities of Π induce permutations on the lines of Π ' wh...

Liquid-Liquid equilibrium data for the (water + Lactic acid + 2-ethy-1-hexanol) ternary system in T=298.2K and P=1atm were determined and tie- lines related to equilibrium data has been drawn in the phases diagram . The reliability of the experimental tie-line data for this system was as confirmed by using the Hand and Othmer –Tobias correlations. The tie-line data were correlated by means of t...

We consider an original ternary number system called the ternary mirror-symmetrical number system in the article. It is a synthesis of the classical ternary symmetrical number system and the number system with an irrational base called Bergman’s number system. The main engineering result is a development of an original matrix and pipeline ternary mirror-symmetrical adder, which can be used for ...

N-gram indexing is used in many practical applications. Spam detection, plagiarism detection or comparison of DNA reads. There are many data structures that can be used for this purpose, each with different characteristics. In this article the ternary search tree data structure is used. One improvement of ternary tree that can save up to 43% of required memory is introduced. In the second part ...

the determination region of solubility of methanol with gasoline of high aromatic content was investigated experimentally at temperature of 288.2 k. a type 1 liquid-liquid phase diagram was obtained for this ternary system. these results were correlated simultaneously by the uniquac model. the values of the interaction parameters between each pair of components in the system were obtained for t...

In this paper a family of constacyclic ternary quasi-perfect linear block codes is presented. This family extends the result presented in a previous work by the first two authors, where the existence of codes with the presented parameters was stated as an open question. The codes have a minimum distance 5 and covering radius 3.

The packing chromatic number (G) of a graph G is the smallest integer k such that there exists a k-vertex coloring of G in which any two vertices receiving color i are at distance at least i + 1. Let S be the base-3 Sierpiński graph of dimension n. It is proved that (S ) = 3, (S ) = 5, (S ) = (S ) = 7, and that 8 ≤ (S ) ≤ 9 holds for any n ≥ 5.

This work in progress examines the roles that Trust in Technology (TRIT) and Computer Self-efficacy (CSE) play in predicting post-adoptive usage behavior. Under the umbrella of social cognitive theory, it uses attribution theory and the trust literature to develop an integrative model of trust and self-efficacy. Specifically, we posit that TRIT impacts users’ CSE and that these beliefs lead to ...
