We study a generalization of the classical Henstock-Kurzweil integral, known as the strong $\rho $-integral, introduced by Jarník and Kurzweil. Let $(\mathcal S_{\rho } (E), \Vert \cdot \Vert )$ be the space of all strongly $\rho $-integrable functions on a multidimensional compact interval $E$, equipped with the Alexiewicz norm $\Vert \cdot \Vert $. We show that each element in the dual space of $(\mathcal S_{\rho } (E), \Vert \cdot \Vert )$ can be represented as a strong $\rho $-integral. Consequently, we prove that $fg$ is strongly $\rho $-integrable on $E$ for each strongly $\rho $-integrable function $f$ if and only if $g$ is almost everywhere equal to a function of bounded variation (in the sense of Hardy-Krause) on $E$.
An infinite series which arises in certain applications of the Lagrange-Bürmann formula to exponential functions is investigated. Several very exact estimates for the Laplace transform and higher moments of this function are developed.
The paper presents an application of fuzzy logic modeling techniques for design and development of a classification system for car driver's vigilance level detection. Especially, the micro-sleeps detection is of our primary interest. Detection is based on a pattern analysis of EEG signal spectrograms, which are acquired by monitoring the driver during a driving process. The system is based on the concept of radial implicative fuzzy system, which can be treated as a logical system accommodating acquired knowledge in a structured form.
Data mining nowadays belongs to the most prominent Information
technologies, experiencing a boom of interest from users and software producers. Traditionally, extracting knowledge from data has been a domain of statisticians, and the largest variety of rnethods encountered in commercial data mining systems are actually methods for statistical data analysis tasks. One of the most important ones among them is testing hypotheses about the probability distribution underlying the data. Basically, it consists in checking the null hypothesis that the probability distribution, a priori cissumed to belong to a broad set of distributions, actually belongs to one of its narrow subsets, which must be precisely delimited in advance. However, in a situation in which the data mining is performed, there are seldom enough clues for such a precise delimitation. That is why the generalizations of statistical hypotheses testing to vague hypotheses háve been investigated for more than a decade, so far following the most straightforward way - to replace the set defining the null hypothesis by a fuzzy set. In this páper, a principally different generalization is proposed, based on the observational-logic approach to data mining, and in particular to hypotheses testing. Its key idea is to view statistical testing of a fuzzy hypothesis cis an application of an appropriate generalized quantifier of a fuzzy predicate calculus to predicates describing the data. The theoretical principles of the approach are elaborated for both crisp and fuzzy significance levels, and illustrated on the quantifier lower critical implication, well known from the data mining system Guha. Finally, the implementation of the approach is briefly sketched.
Over the years, one of the challenges of a rule based expert system is the possibility of evolving a compact and consistent knowledge-base with a fewer numbers of rules that are relevant to the application domain, in order to enhance the comprehensibility of the expert system. In this paper, the hybrid of fuzzy rule mining interestingness measures and fuzzy expert system is exploited as a means of solving the problem of unwieldiness and maintenance complication in the rule based expert system. This negatively increases the knowledge-base space complexity and reduces rule access rate which impedes system response time. To validate this concept, the Coronary Heart Disease risk ratio determination is used as the case study. Results of fuzzy expert system with a fewer numbers of rules and fuzzy expert system with a large numbers of rules are presented for comparison. Moreover, the effect of fuzzy linguistic variable risk ratio is investigated. This makes the expert system recommendation close to human perception.
Following the ideas of R. DeMarr, we establish a Galois connection between distance functions on a set S and inequality relations on Xs = S × R. Moreover, we also investigate a relationship between the functions of S and Xs.
A class of functional equations with nonlinear iterates is discussed on the unit circle ${\mathbb{T}}^1$. By lifting maps on ${\mathbb{T}}^1$ and maps on the torus ${\mathbb{T}}^n$ to Euclidean spaces and extending their restrictions to a compact interval or cube, we prove existence, uniqueness and stability for their continuous solutions.
A general synchronization method is proposed for a class of nonlinear chaotic systems involving uncertain parameters and nonlinear transmitted signals. Under some mild conditions, it shows that the class of nonlinear chaotic systems can be treated as linear time-varying systems driven by the additive white noise contaminated at the receiver, or the observed output. Synchronization can be achieved by using Kalman filtering technology. We present some sufficient conditions under which the states of the driven system are able to track the states of the drive system asymptotically, and good tracking performance can be obtained in the presence of the additive white noise involved in the observed output.
We generalize a Theorem of Koldunov [2] and prove that a disjointness proserving quasi-linear operator between Resz spaces has the Hammerstein property.
