For families of orthogonal and symplectic types quantum matrix (QM-) algebras, we derive corresponding versions of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. For a wider family of BirmanMurakami-Wenzl type QM-algebras, we investigate a structure of its characteristic subalgebra (the subalgebra in which the coefficients of characteristic polynomials take values). We define 3 sets of generating elements of the...

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the relationship between the topological property of the Euler characteristic and a combinatorial object, the Möbius function, in the context of finite T0-spaces. To do this I first explain the fundamental connection between such spaces and finite partially ordered sets by proving some facts fundamental to the study of finite spaces. Then I define the ...

We study the family of rational sets of words, called completely reducible and which are such that the syntactic representation of their characteristic series is completely reducible. This family contains, by a result of Reutenauer, the submonoids generated by bifix codes and, by a result of Berstel and Reutenauer, the cyclic sets. We study the closure properties of this family. We prove a resu...

We address the problem of identifying a useful set of mutually compatible separation axioms for each category T-FNS of T-neighbourhood spaces. It should contain one of T-complete regularity that characterizes T-uniformizability, as indeed we achieve here. This seems to necessitate the parameterization of most separation axioms by the triangular norm T, with the exception of the two axioms T0 an...

We study computably enumerable equivalence relations (ceers), under the reducibility R ≤ S if there exists a computable function f such that x R y if and only if f(x) S f(y), for every x, y. We show that the degrees of ceers under the equivalence relation generated by ≤ form a bounded poset that is neither a lower semilattice, nor an upper semilattice, and its first order theory is undecidable....

Welcome to the Journal of Intelligent and Fuzzy Systems’s special issue for “FUZZYSS’2011: 2nd International Fuzzy Systems Symposium”. Since its introduction by Prof. Dr. Lotfi A. Zadeh fuzzy logic, fuzzy sets and systems have been applied to various problems in many diverse areas. As everything try to evolve towards better states, the fuzzy theory and its applications are also evolving to mode...

Bijective transformations play an important role in generating fuzzy implications from fuzzy implications. In [Representations through a Monoid on the set of Fuzzy Implications, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, 247, 5167], Vemuri and Jayaram proposed a monoid structure on the set of fuzzy implications, which is denoted by I, and using the largest subgroup S of this monoid discussed some group actions on...

Li and Yu (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 101 (1999) 109) argued that the model of Yang et al. for fuzzy programming (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 41 (1991) 39) is correct only for a speci2c type of piecewise linear membership function and proposed their model for other type of membership functions. This study generalizes the model of Yang et al. A numerical example indicates that the model of Li and Yu is i...

When 60 years ago Shannon established “A Mathematical Theory of Communication” nobody could know the consequences for science and technology in the second half of the century. Shannon published his article in two parts in the July and October 1948 editions of the Bell System Technical Journal. However, it is very probable that this article wouldn’t have become famous without the help of Weaver,...
