A New Rapid Incremental Algorithm for Constructing Concept Lattices

Formal concept analysis has proven to be a very effective method for data analysis and rule extraction, but how to build formal concept lattices is a difficult and hot topic. In this paper, an efficient and rapid incremental concept lattice construction algorithm is proposed. The algorithm, named FastAddExtent, is seen as a modification of AddIntent in which we improve two fundamental procedures, including fixing the covering relation and searching the canonical generator. The proposed algorithm can locate the desired concept quickly by adding data fields to every concept. The algorithm is depicted in detail, using a formal context to show how the new algorithm works and discussing time and space complexity issues. We also present an experimental evaluation of its performance and comparison with AddExtent. Experimental results show that the FastAddExtent algorithm can improve efficiency compared with the primitive AddExtent algorithm.

New Soft Set Based Class of Linear Algebraic Codes

In this paper, we design and develop a new class of linear algebraic codes defined as soft linear algebraic codes using soft sets. The advantage of using these codes is that they have the ability to transmit m-distinct messages to m-set of receivers simultaneously. The methods of generating and decoding these new classes of soft linear algebraic codes have been developed. The notion of soft canonical generator matrix, soft canonical parity check matrix, and soft syndrome are defined to aid in construction and decoding of these codes. Error detection and correction of these codes are developed and illustrated by an example.

QUANTUM FIELD THEORETICAL FORMULATION OF EQUATION OF STATE FOR FERMION–BOSON MIXTURES

Using a quantum field theoretical canonical generator for the scale transformation of the second quantized Schrödinger fields describing a mixture of Fermion and Boson systems, the equation of state is derived. The derivation is based on the equal-time canonical commutation relations of the field operators and no approximation is employed. The result can be applied to liquid 3 He –4 He mixture.

LAGRANGIAN Sp(3) BRST SYMMETRY FOR IRREDUCIBLE GAUGE THEORIES

The Lagrangian Sp(3) BRST symmetry for irreducible gauge theories is constructed in the framework of homological perturbation theory. The canonical generator of this extended symmetry is shown to exist. A gauge-fixing procedure specific to the standard antibracket–antifield formalism, that leads to an effective action, which is invariant under all the three differentials of the Sp(3) algebra, is given.

COVARIANT AND NONCOVARIANT GAUGE TRANSFORMATIONS FOR THE CONFORMAL PARTICLE

A gauge-invariant conformal particle model is studied. Its Lagrangian gauge transformations are obtained in a covariant way using a kind of canonical generator. On the other hand, the Hamiltonian transformations cannot be written in a covariant form despite the covariance of the Hamiltonian constraints.
