On Single-Valued Neutrosophic Closure Spaces

This paper aims to mark out new terms of single-valued neutrosophic notions in a Šostak sense called single-valued neutrosophic semi-closure spaces. To achieve this, notions such as β£-closure operators and β£-interior operators are first defined. More precisely, these proposed contributions involve different terms of single-valued neutrosophic continuous mappings called single-valued neutrosophic (almost β£, faintly β£, weakly β£) and β£-continuous. Finally, for the purpose of symmetry, we define the single-valued neutrosophic upper, single-valued neutrosophic lower and single-valued neutrosophic boundary sets of a rough single-valued neutrosophic set αn in a single-valued neutrosophic approximation space (F˜,δ). Based on αn and δ, we also introduce the single-valued neutrosophic approximation interior operator intαnδ and the single-valued neutrosophic approximation closure operator Clαnδ.

A method for classification of red, blue, and green galaxies using fuzzy set theory

ABSTRACT Red and blue galaxies are traditionally classified using some specific cuts in colour or other galaxy properties, which are supported by empirical arguments. The vagueness associated with such cuts are likely to introduce a significant contamination in these samples. Fuzzy sets are vague boundary sets that can efficiently capture the classification uncertainty in the absence of any precise boundary. We propose a method for classification of galaxies according to their colours using fuzzy set theory. We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to construct a fuzzy set for red galaxies with its members having different degrees of ‘redness’. We show that the fuzzy sets for the blue and green galaxies can be obtained from it using different fuzzy operations. We also explore the possibility of using fuzzy relation to study the relationship between different galaxy properties and discuss its strengths and limitations.

Examples of covering properties of boundary points of space-times

The problem of classifying boundary points of space-time, for example singularities, regular points and points at infinity, is an unexpectedly subtle one. Due to the fact that whether or not two boundary points are identified or even “nearby” is dependent on the way the space-time is embedded, difficulties occur when singularities are thought of as an inherently local aspect of a space-time, as an analogy with electromagnetism would imply. The completion of a manifold with respect to a pseudo-Riemannian metric can be defined intrinsically. This was done by Scott–Szekeres via an equivalence relation, formalizing which boundary sets cover other sets. This paper works through the possibilities, providing examples to show that all covering relations not immediately ruled out by the definitions are possible.

Geometric and numerical methods for a state constrained minimum time control problem of an electric vehicle

In this article, the minimum time control problem of an electric vehicle is modeled as a Mayer problem in optimal control, with affine dynamics with respect to the control and with state constraints. The candidates as minimizers are selected among a set of extremals, solutions of a Hamiltonian system given by the maximum principle. An analysis, with the techniques of geometric control, is used first to reduce the set of candidates and then to construct the numerical methods. This leads to a numerical investigation based on indirect methods using the HamPath software. Multiple shooting and homotopy techniques are used to build a synthesis with respect to the bounds of the boundary sets.

Discussion on a New Calculation Method for Missing True Formation Thickness - A Case Study from YM32 Area in Northern Tarim Basin

The true formation thickness missed in the geologic borehole has important sense for understanding the strata of borehole and position of target layer. Nevertheless, there had not been enough effective technologies and calculation methods to calculate the missing true formation thickness at present. To solve this problem, this paper focuses on mathematical formula combining with the actual geological conditions, collects various useful geologic data and parameters, such as stratigraphic dip, dip direction, distance from drilling well to formation’s pinchout boundary along the dip direction and difference in height between drilling well and pinchout boundary, sets a reasonable calculation method, derives a complete set of new expression to calculate the missing true formation thicknesses. The typical region, YM32 Area in Tarim Basin, was taken as the case study to prove the accuracy and practicability of the calculation method. The result was inspected by the actual data of neighbor boreholes.
