Abstract Fiber optical strain sensors are used to measure the at a particular sensor position inside fiber. In order deduce in surrounding matrix material, one can employ transfer principle. Its application is based on assumption that presence of fiber does not impede deformation material direction. fact, principle implies direction carries over verbatim material. For comparatively soft however...

Over recent years, various semantics have been proposed for dealing with updates in the setting of logic programs. The availability of different semantics naturally raises the question of which are most adequate to model updates. A systematic approach to face this question is to identify general principles against which such semantics could be evaluated. In this paper we motivate and introduce ...

In this article we present a proposal for the descomposition of large uncertainties associated with a fuzzy set u and the multilinearization of a function f to be used in the approximation of the fuzzy set f̂(u) obtained by extension principle. Also, we present conditions on f assuring that f̂ preserves differentiability.

Spline wavelet tight frames of [20] have been used widely in frame based image analysis and restorations (see, e.g. survey articles [15, 22]). However, except for the tight frame property and the approximation order of the truncated series (see [13,20]), there are few other properties of this family of spline wavelet tight frames to be known. This paper is to present a few new properties of thi...

Jaccard index similarity measure which applies the extension principle approach to obtain fuzzy maximum and fuzzy minimum has been proposed in ranking fuzzy numbers. However, the extension principle used is only applicable to normal fuzzy numbers and, therefore, fails to rank non-normal ones. Apart from that, the extension principle does not preserve the type of membership function of fuzzy num...
