In this paper, we generalize properties for single-valued functions in homotopy theory to multi-valued functions. We present new definitions such as locally m-pathwise connected, m-simply m-covering space, and regular space. apply some topological from algebraic topology the

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) are widely used to handle uncertainty and imprecision in decision making. However, in more complicated environment, it is difficult to express the uncertain information by an IVIFS with considering the decision-making preference. Hence, this paper proposes a group generalized interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy soft set (G-GIVIFSS) which conta...

In this paper, the generalized variational inequality with multi-valued mapping (GVI) is considered. To solve the problem, we first establish a global error bound estimation for GVI with the underlying multi-valued mapping being   strict monotone and Holder continuous. Based on this, we propose a new type of method to solve the GVI, and its global convergence is also established. Keywords-GVI...

Received: December 21, 2010 Accepted: January 7, 2011 doi:10.5539/jmr.v3n2p151 Abstract In this paper, we study fixed point theorems for multi-valued weak contractions. We show that the Picard projection iteration converges to a fixed point, give a rate of convergence and generalize Collage theorem. This work includes results on multi-valued contraction mappings studied by (Kunze, H.E., La Torr...

Lifted inference algorithms commonly exploit symmetries in a probabilistic graphical model (PGM) for efficient inference. However, existing algorithms for Boolean-valued domains can identify only those pairs of states as symmetric, in which the number of ones and zeros match exactly (count symmetries). Moreover, algorithms for lifted inference in multi-valued domains also compute a multi-valued...

In this thesis, we propose one approach to compute the multi-valued density via the existing level set method in computing multi-valued velocity of WKB system in high frequency wave dynamics and a superposition property is proved and numerically validated, too. Several novel level set methods are developed and analyzed for computing multi-valued solutions to the Euler-Poisson equations and the ...
