Distributed computation follows the models of discrete structures in combinatorial forms. In higher-dimensions, the simplex structures of topological spaces as well as homology are employed to model and analyze distributed asynchronous computations. However, the monotone spaces are the general forms of topological spaces and can be effectively employed to analyze distributed computation. This p...

The notion of separatedness degrees of L-fuzzy subsets is introduced in L-fuzzy topological spaces by means of L-fuzzy closure operators. Furthermore, the notion of connectedness degrees of L-fuzzy subsets is introduced. Many properties of connectedness in general topology are generalized to L-fuzzy topological spaces.

in his paper mentioned in the title, which appears in the same issue of this journal, mehdi radjabalipour derives the cyclic decomposition of an algebraic linear transformation. a more general structure theory for linear transformations appears in irving kaplansky's lovely 1954 book on infinite abelian groups. we present a translation of kaplansky's results for abelian groups into the...

Computing transitive closures of integer relations is the key to finding precise invariants of integer programs. In this paper, we describe an efficient algorithm for computing the transitive closures of difference bounds, octagonal and finite monoid affine relations. On the theoretical side, this framework provides a common solution to the acceleration problem, for all these three classes of r...

New generalizations of normality in Čech closure space such as π-normal, weakly π-normal and κ-normal are introduced studied using canonically closed sets. It is observed that the class spaces contains both classes almost normal spaces.

w0-Nearest Points and w0-Farthest Point in Normed Linear Spaces

The notion of the shell of a Hilbert space operator, which is a useful generalization (proposed by Wielandt) of the numerical range, is extended to operators in spaces with an indefinite inner product. For the most part, finite dimensional spaces are considered. Geometric properties of shells (convexity, boundedness, being a subset of a line, etc.) are described, as well as shells of operators ...
