six sigma methodology is one of the most famous effective problem solving approaches that helps organizations to achieve their goals. despite the variety of its positive advantage, most companies have failed to implement six sigma successfully. the reason for this includes lack of the organizations attention to success or failure factors when implement six sigma projects. hence, while performin...

In this paper, the notion of the radical of a filter in residuated lattices is defined and several characterizations of the radical of a filter are given. We show that if F is a positive implicative filter (or obstinate filter), then Rad(F ) = F . We proved the extension theorem for radical of filters in residuated lattices. Also, we study the radical of filters in linearly ordered residuated l...

Let $S(G^{sigma})$ be the skew-adjacency matrix of the oriented graph $G^{sigma}$, which is obtained from a simple undirected graph $G$ by assigning an orientation $sigma$ to each of its edges. The skew energy of an oriented graph $G^{sigma}$ is defined as the sum of absolute values of all eigenvalues of $S(G^{sigma})$. Two oriented graphs are said to be skew equienergetic iftheir skew energies...

Let $mathcal{A}$ be a Banach algebra and $mathcal{M}$ be a Banach $mathcal{A}$-bimodule. We say that a linear mapping $delta:mathcal{A} rightarrow mathcal{M}$ is a generalized $sigma$-derivation whenever there exists a $sigma$-derivation $d:mathcal{A} rightarrow mathcal{M}$ such that $delta(ab) = delta(a)sigma(b) + sigma(a)d(b)$, for all $a,b in mathcal{A}$. Giving some facts concerning general...

In this paper, we introduce the notions of prime state filters, obstinate state filters, and primary state filters in state residuated lattices and study some properties of them. Several characterizations of these state filters are given and the prime state filter theorem is proved. In addition, we investigate the relations between them.
