In this paper, we define the notions of fuzzy congruence relations and fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice and we obtain some related results. In particular, we will show that there exists a one to one correspondence between the set of all fuzzy congruence relations and the set of all fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice. Then we study fuzzy...

OBJECTIVE To make a comparative analysis on three femoropatellar radiographic parameters, between knees with chronic failure of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and normal knees. METHODS Thirty volunteer patients with a diagnosis of unilateral isolated chronic ACL injury for more than one year and a normal contralateral knee were selected. Digital radiographs were produced for all the pat...

Let S be a regular semigroup and let p be a congruence relation on S. The kernel of p, in notation kerp, is the union of the idempotent p-classes. The trace of p, in notation trp, is the restriction of p to the set of idempotents of S. The pair (kerp,trp) is said to be the congruence pair associated with p. Congruence pairs can be characterized abstractly, and it turns out that a congruence is ...

We study several classes of holomorphic dynamical systems associated with quadrature domains. Our main result is that real-symmetric polynomials in the principal hyperbolic component Mandelbrot set can be conformally mated a congruence subgroup of<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="normal upper P normal S L left-parenthesi...

Nearly twenty years ago, two of the authors wrote a paper on congruence lattices of semilattices [9]. The problem of finding a really useful characterization of congruence lattices of finite semilattices seemed too hard for us, so we went on to other things. Thus when Steve Seif asked one of us at the October 1990 meeting of the AMS in Amherst what we had learned in the meantime, the answer was...

We prove a q-analog of a classical binomial congruence due to Ljunggren which states that ap bp ! ≡ a b ! modulo p for primes p > 5. This congruence subsumes and builds on earlier congruences by Babbage, Wolstenholme and Glaisher for which we recall existing q-analogs. Our congruence generalizes an earlier result of Clark. Résumé. Nous démontrons un q-analogue d’une congruence binomiale classiq...

The definition of open bisimilarity on the χ-processes does not give rise to a sensible relation on the χ-processes with the mismatch operator. The paper proposes ground open congruence as a principal open congruence on the χ-processes with the mismatch operator. The algebraic properties of the ground congruence is studied. The paper also takes a close look at barbed congruence. This relation i...
