We characterize decomposition over C of polynomials fn(x) defined by the generalized Dicksontype recursive relation f0(x) = B, f1(x) = x, fn+1(x) = xfn(x)− afn−1(x) (n ≥ 1), where B, a ∈ Q or R. This parametric class of polynomials includes Fibonacci, Pell, Fermat, Dickson, Lucas (w-), Pell-Lucas, Fermat-Lucas polynomials as well as Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind. As an appl...

In this paper, a higher-order terminal sliding mode control is proposed for fault accommodation of class Lipschitz second-order nonlinear systems. This approach designed based on combining between novel third-order fast surface (TOFTSMS), which to preserve the merits PID and (FTSM) surface, continuous law (HOSM) strategy. However, TOFTSMC requires an exact dynamics model system prior knowledge ...

This study aimed to explore the constraining and facilitating factors impacting emergence consolidation of different types alternative food networks (AFNs) in countries. Drawing on expertise organizers seventeen AFNs, we investigated conditions actors that hinder promote development AFNs Poland, Portugal Netherlands. Using a multi-actor perspective framework, categorized six according their log...

This paper presents a comprehensive study of argumentation frameworks with necessities (AFNs), bipolar extension Dung Abstract (AFs) where the support relation captures positive interaction between arguments having meaning necessity: acceptance an argument may require other argument(s). The discusses new main acceptability semantics for AFNs and their characterization both by direct approach la...

Tensor time series (TTS) data, a generalization of one-dimensional on high-dimensional space, is ubiquitous in real-world applications. Compared to modeling or multivariate series, which has received much attention and achieved tremendous progress recent years, tensor been paid less effort. However, properly coping with the more challenging task, due its complex inner structure. In this paper, ...

This study theorizes on the sociomateriality of food in authority-building processes partial organizations by exploring alternative networks (AFNs). Through construction arenas for provisioning, AFNs represent grassroots collectives that deliberately differentiate their practices from mainstream forms provisioning. Based a sequential mixed-methods analysis 24 AFNs, where an inductive chronologi...

Although organic standards and certification schemes have a crucial role in ensuring quality, safety, sustainability within food systems, there is need to critically analyze their implications on human capabilities alternative networks (AFNs). Therefore, this paper draws upon the capability approach of three governance mechanisms (i.e., third-party, social control, hybrid certification) flouris...
