Nonsimultaneous maskers can strongly impair performance in an auditory intensity discrimination task. Using methods of molecular psychophysics, we quantified the extent to which (1) a masker-induced impairment of the representation of target intensity (i.e., increase in internal noise) and (2) a systematic influence of the masker intensities on the decision variable contribute to these effects....

Let $nin mathbb{N}$. An additive map $h:Ato B$ between algebras $A$ and $B$ is called $n$-Jordan homomorphism if $h(a^n)=(h(a))^n$ for all $ain A$. We show that every $n$-Jordan homomorphism between commutative Banach algebras is a $n$-ring homomorphism when $n < 8$. For these cases, every involutive $n$-Jordan homomorphism between commutative C-algebras is norm continuous.

In this paper we prove that every n-Jordan homomorphis varphi:mathcal {A} longrightarrowmathcal {B} from unital Banach algebras mathcal {A} into varphi -commutative Banach algebra mathcal {B} satisfiying the condition varphi (x^2)=0 Longrightarrow varphi (x)=0, xin mathcal {A}, is an n-homomorphism. In this paper we prove that every n-Jordan homomorphism varphi:mathcal {A} longrightarrowmathcal...

A graph homomorphism is an edge preserving vertex mapping between two graphs. Locally constrained homomorphisms are those that behave well on the neighborhoods of vertices — if the neighborhood of any vertex of the source graph is mapped bijectively (injectively, surjectively) to the neighborhood of its image in the target graph, the homomorphism is called locally bijective (injective, surjecti...

Variable threshold concept lattice (VTCL) was proposed by Ma et al.(2006), which provide a new parameterized way to obtain formal concepts from data with fuzzy attributes. Axiomatic Fuzzy Set (AFS) algebras were proposed by Liu (1998), which are new semantic methodology relating to the fuzzy theory. In this paper, in order to explore the relationship between the AFS algebras and VTCL, three alg...

Let $mathcal {A} $ and $mathcal {B} $ be C$^*$-algebras. Assume that $mathcal {A}$ is of real rank zero and unital with unit $I$ and $k>0$ is a real number. It is shown that if $Phi:mathcal{A} tomathcal{B}$ is an additive map preserving $|cdot|^k$ for all normal elements; that is, $Phi(|A|^k)=|Phi(A)|^k $ for all normal elements $Ainmathcal A$, $Phi(I)$ is a projection, and there exists a posit...

the aim of this paper is to introduce and study set- valued homomorphism on lattices and t-rough lattice with respect to a sublattice. this paper deals with t-rough set approach on the lattice theory. the result of this study contributes to, t-rough fuzzy set and approximation theory and proved in several papers. keywords: approximation space; lattice; prime ideal; rough ideal; t-rough set; set...

Graph homomorphism has been studied intensively. Given an m ×m symmetric matrix A, the graph homomorphism function is defined as
