Numerical Scheme for Finding Roots of Interval-Valued Fuzzy Nonlinear Equation with Application in Optimization

In this research article, we propose efficient numerical iterative methods for estimating roots of interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy nonlinear equations. Convergence analysis proves that the order of convergence of numerical schemes is 3. Some real-life applications are considered from optimization as numerical test problems which contain interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy quantities in parametric form. Numerical illustrations are given to show the dominance efficiency of the newly constructed iterative schemes as compared to existing methods in literature.

Parameter-Dependent Feedback Compensator Design for a Time-Fractional Reaction-Diffusion Equation

This paper presents a parameter-dependent design of feedback compensator with space-varying gains for Mittag-Leffler stabilization of linear time fractional parabolic MIMO partial differential equations subject to space-varying diffusion and reaction coefficients. In the proposed design method, under a boundedness assumption, the reaction coefficient is written in a parametric form. By using the parametric form for the reaction coefficient and multiple non-collocated observation outputs, an observer-based state feedback compensator with space-varying gains is then constructed such that the resulting closed-loop coupled equations are Mittag-Leffler stable. By applying the Lyapunov technique with Caputo fractional derivative and variants of Poincaré–Wirtinger’s inequality, a sufficient condition for the existence of such feedback compensator is presented in terms of standard linear matrix inequalities. Finally, simulation results are presented to support the proposed design method.

The Uniformisation of the Equation $$z^w=w^z$$

The positive solutions of the equation $$x^y = y^x$$ x y = y x have been discussed for over two centuries. Goldbach found a parametric form for the solutions, and later a connection was made with the classical Lambert function, which was also studied by Euler. Despite the attention given to the real equation $$x^y=y^x$$ x y = y x , the complex equation $$z^w = w^z$$ z w = w z has virtually been ignored in the literature. In this expository paper, we suggest that the problem should not be simply to parametrise the solutions of the equation, but to uniformize it. Explicitly, we construct a pair z(t) and w(t) of functions of a complex variable t that are holomorphic functions of t lying in some region D of the complex plane that satisfy the equation $$z(t)^{w(t)} = w(t)^{z(t)}$$ z ( t ) w ( t ) = w ( t ) z ( t ) for t in D. Moreover, when t is positive these solutions agree with those of $$x^y=y^x$$ x y = y x .

A material-based computation framework for parametric design education

PurposeMaterial-based computation has been recently introduced in architectural education, where parameters and rules related to materials are integrated into algorithmic thinking. The authors aim to identify affordances of material-based computation in terms of supporting the understanding of parametric design, informing the process of parametric form finding in an educational setup and augmenting student learning outcomes.Design/methodology/approachThe authors propose a material-informed holistic systems design framework for parametric form finding. The authors develop a pedagogical approach that employs material-based computation focusing on the interplay between the physical and the digital in a parametrically driven façade design exercise. The approach comprises two phases: (1) enabling physical exploration with different materials to arrive at the design logic of a panel prototype and (2) deducing embedded and controlled parameters, based on the interplay of materials and deriving strategies for pattern propagation of the panel on a façade composition using variation and complexity.FindingsThe results confirmed the initial hypothesis, where the more explicit the material exploration and identification of physical rules and relations, the more nuanced the parametrically driven process, where students expressed a clear goal oriented generative logic and utilized parametric design to inform form finding as a bottom-up approach.Originality/valueMost precedent approaches developed to teach parametric design concepts in architectural education have focused on universal strategies that often result in fixating students on following standard blindly followed scripts and procedures, thus defying the purpose of a bottom-up form finding framework. The approach expands the pedagogical strategies employed to address parametric design as a form finding process.

InfPolyn, a Nonparametric Bayesian Characterization for Composition-Dependent Interdiffusion Coefficients

Composition-dependent interdiffusion coefficients are key parameters in many physical processes. However, finding such coefficients for a system with few components is challenging due to the underdetermination of the governing diffusion equations, the lack of data in practice, and the unknown parametric form of the interdiffusion coefficients. In this work, we propose InfPolyn, Infinite Polynomial, a novel statistical framework to characterize the component-dependent interdiffusion coefficients. Our model is a generalization of the commonly used polynomial fitting method with extended model capacity and flexibility and it is combined with the numerical inversion-based Boltzmann–Matano method for the interdiffusion coefficient estimations. We assess InfPolyn on ternary and quaternary systems with predefined polynomial, exponential, and sinusoidal interdiffusion coefficients. The experiments show that InfPolyn outperforms the competitors, the SOTA numerical inversion-based Boltzmann–Matano methods, with a large margin in terms of relative error (10x more accurate). Its performance is also consistent and stable, whereas the number of samples required remains small.

Ranking parametric form of fuzzy numbers by defuzzification based on centroids value and ambiguity

This paper proposes a new method to rank the parametric form of fuzzy numbers based on defuzzification. The defuzzification process use centroids, value, ambiguity and decision levels on fuzzy number developed from the parametric form of a generalized fuzzy number. The proposed method avoids reducing function to remove lower alpha levels and can overcome the shortcomings in some of the existing fuzzy ranking methods. The proposed method can effectively rank symmetric fuzzy numbers with the same core and different heights, fuzzy numbers with the same support and different cores, crisp numbers, crisp numbers having the same support and different heights, and fuzzy numbers having compensation of areas. A demonstration of the proposed method through examples and a comparative study with other methods in the literature shows that the proposed method gives effective results.

Modelling Burglary in Chicago using a self-exciting point process with isotropic triggering

Self-exciting point processes have been proposed as models for the location of criminal events in space and time. Here we consider the case where the triggering function is isotropic and takes a non-parametric form that is determined from data. We pay special attention to normalisation issues and to the choice of spatial distance measure, thereby extending the current methodology. After validating these ideas on synthetic data, we perform inference and prediction tests on public domain burglary data from Chicago. We show that the algorithmic advances that we propose lead to improved predictive accuracy.

EQUATION OF STATE OF A WIRE IN THE PARAMETRIC FORM OF A CHAIN LINE

The "equation of state of the wire" is presented for the parametric representation of a chain line as a system of nonlinear equations. The classical equation of state of a wire is a special case of the presented system of nonlinear equations. The concept of the "initial" state of the wire is introduced, which is used to show the solution of the parametric "equation of state of the wire".

Models of non-static and inhomogeneous gravitating source in Rastall gravity

In this paper, we have explored the non-static anisotropic gravitational collapse and expansion solutions in Rastall theory of gravity. The field equations have been formulated for the non-static and inhomogeneous gravitating source. The Misner–Sharp mass function, auxiliary solution and trapped condition have been used to obtained a trapped surface. The auxiliary solutions have been used to obtain the expansion and collapse solutions; these solutions depend on [Formula: see text] and parameter [Formula: see text] (which appears due to parametric form of metric components); also the range of parameter [Formula: see text] has been examined. The expansion scalar [Formula: see text] depends on parameter [Formula: see text], in the case of expansion [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], while for collapse [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. Also, the dynamics of the gravitating spherical source has been discussed graphically with the effects of Rastall parameter [Formula: see text]. For the physically reasonable fluid, the validity of energy conditions has been discussed for expansion and collapse solutions with the various values of [Formula: see text].
