Adaptive dynamics has been widely used to study the evolution of scalar-valued, and occasionally vector-valued, strategies in ecologically realistic models. In many ecological situations, however, evolving strategies are best described as function-valued, and thus infinite-dimensional, traits. So far, such evolution has only been studied sporadically, mostly based on quantitative genetics model...

It is argued that the ‘inner’ negation ∼ familiar from 3-valued logic can be interpreted as a form of ‘conditional’ negation: ∼A is read “A is false if it has a truth value”. It is argued that this reading squares well with a particular 3-valued interpretation of a conditional that in the literature has been seen as a serious candidate for capturing the truth conditions of the natural language ...

Even though it is not very often admitted, partial functions do play a significant role in many practical applications of deduction systems. Kleene has already given a semantic account of partial functions using three-valued logic decades ago, but there has not been a satisfactory mechanization. Recent years have seen a thorough investigation of the framework of many-valued truth-functional log...

the purpose of this paper is to study the higher order asymptotic distributions of the eigenvalues associated with a class of sturm-liouville problem with equation of the form w??=(?2f(x)?r(x)) (1), on [a,b, where ? is a real parameter and f(x) is a real valued function in c2(a,b which has a single zero (so called turning point) at point 0x=x and r(x) is a continuously differentiable function. ...

While the purpose of conventional proof calculi is to axiomatise the set of valid sentences of a logic, refutation systems axiomatise the invalid sentences. Such systems are relevant not only for proof-theoretic reasons but also for realising deductive systems for nonmonotonic logics. We introduce Gentzen-type refutation systems for two basic three-valued logics and we discuss an application of...

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) has developed to cope with the uncertainty of imprecise human thinking. In the present communication, new entropy and similarity measures for IVIFSs based on exponential function are presented and compared with the existing measures. Numerical results reveal that the proposed information measures attain the higher association with the existing me...

in this paper a network comprising alternative branching nodes with probabilistic outcomes is considered. in other words, network nodes are probabilistic with exclusive-or receiver and exclusive-or emitter. first, an analytical approach is proposed to simplify the structure of network. then, it is assumed that the duration of activities is positive trapezoidal fuzzy number (tfn). this paper com...
