A class of bilinear differential operators is introduced through assigning appropriate signs and used to create bilinear differential equations which generalize Hirota bilinear equations. The resulting bilinear differential equations are characterized by a special kind of Bell polynomials and the linear superposition principle is applied to the construction of their linear subspaces of solution...

The binary states, i.e., success or failed state assumptions used in conventional reliability are inappropriate for reliability analysis of complex industrial systems due to lack of sufficient probabilistic information. For large complex systems, the uncertainty of each individual parameter enhances the uncertainty of the system reliability. In this paper, the concept of fuzzy reliability...

The N = 2 supersymmetric KdV equations are studied within the framework of Hirota’s bilinear method. For two such equations, namely N = 2, a = 4 and N = 2, a = 1 supersymmetric KdV equations, we obtain the corresponding bilinear formulations. Using them, we construct particular solutions for both cases. In particular, a bilinear Bäcklund transformation is given for the N = 2, a = 1 supersymmetr...

Many problems in kinematic synthesis of mechanisms and robots lead naturally to systems of bilinear equations in design parameters. Such systems are typically solved using well-known methods for solutions of systems of polynomial equations, e.g., Dialytic Elimination, Grobner bases, and Polynomial Continuation. This paper presents a new nullspace analysis method for solving a system of bilinear...

MOTIVATION Developmental transcriptional networks in plants and animals operate in both space and time. To understand these transcriptional networks it is essential to obtain whole-genome expression data at high spatiotemporal resolution. Substantial amounts of spatial and temporal microarray expression data previously have been obtained for the Arabidopsis root; however, these two dimensions o...

We explore when Hirota bilinear equations possess linear subspaces of solutions. First, we establish a sufficient and necessary criterion for the existence of linear subspaces of exponential traveling wave solutions to Hirota bilinear equations. Second, we show that multivariate polynomials whose zeros form a vector space can generate the desired Hirota bilinear equations with given linear subs...
