A Method for Finding Fuzzy Subgroups of Sn
(Dec 2011)We present a practical method for finding fuzzy subgroups of symmetric groups S n for small n’s. Other methods in the literature seem quite technical, with a lot of theory and computations involved. Our method, although ... -
A new matrix method for solving two-dimensional time-dependent diffusion equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions
(2016)This paper is devoted to develop a new matrix scheme for solving two-dimensional time-dependent diffusion equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We first transform these equations into equivalent integro partial ... -
A Note on Nilpotent Elements in Quaternion Rings over Zp
(2012)In this paper, we discuss nilpotent elements in the finite ring H/Zp. We provide examples and we establish conditions for nilpotency in H/ Zp. We also comment on the number of nilpotent elements. -
A Novel Image-based Model for Data Fusion in Intelligent Surveillance Systems.
